Tyler Dirden

Nah, that's just what I call it. I mean face it; there isn't a lot of
practicle information in JP magazine... Seriously, how many TJ drivers are
really running 40s?! But it's fun to look at... I'm not renewing my
subscription. I can find better jeep ---- on the internet.

<SNIP>

since you have not responded directly to my post, id like to add something
that i should have included in my first response to you. concerning air
conditioning being a "stupid" option.....

it would be one thing if my rubicon was a dedicated trail rig. fact is, my
family rides in it 90% as often as i do. i cant ride around topless all the
time with a 2 year old just to somehow prove that im "hardcore"...she just
cant tolerate _that_ much of it. im not going to take my wife to
semi-formal events with either beads of sweat or wind blown hair just to
somehow prove that im "hardcore". if your jeep is a "trailered to the
trail" jeep then maybe a/c would be a "stupid" option but for a daily driver
jeep in the real world, a/c is just plain necessary in most parts of the
country.

I, on the other hand, am not convinced he IS a newbie. I've seen the
diatribe, thought process (or lack thereof) and writing style. A troll
is a troll is a troll, no matter what alias is used. Give him all the
chances you want. He has graduated into my killfile.
