Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon

Nothing like ABS unlocking the brakes as
you come down Black Bear into Telluride, eh Earle?

Actually, two years ago on the first switchback on Black Bear I snapped a
stainless line on the left front of my YJ and had the "pleasure" of coming
down the rest of the way into town with the emergency brake only.....a true
as true can be story. Therefore, I have experienced the joys of ABS while
wheeling!

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon

Cappa is a Potty Mouth, bathroom humor driven moron who has trashed any
number of vintage Jeeps fro the fun of doing it. He'll hopefully be gone
soon. (Nonetheless he dissed the Rubicon in learned fashion.)

"George" seems like a good nick for a guy named "Gerald G. McGeorge." If
you don't like it I'll bet I can come up with a better one. ;o)

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon

Actually, I have heated power mirrors on my Chevy Van, and I would like to
also have them on my TJ. If they were available from the factory, I would
have ordered them.
