Didn't get diddly for X-Mass just some chrome for the bike but for my
birthday in February I will be getting a brand new shinny 04 TJ model TBD.

My very first new one, I have restored 5 in the past from a 44 willies to a
69 CJ for my son, so it will feel good to get in one turn the key and go. I
am anticipating the feeling and the new smell.

Now on the other hand, Santa delivered a brand new shinny 04 Grand Cherokee
fully loaded for the wife.

Re: What did everybody get for Jeepmas?
 

Wifey got me a Big Tex flatbed trailer to bring the Jeep to far-flung
trailheads. I flat towed a lot with my Ford Superduty and occasionally, panic
stops were real puckerish. The trailer brakes will help with that. And now I
can back up!

Re: What did everybody get for Jeepmas?
 

Craftsman 15" drill press
Craftsman 6" vise
Delphi XM Radio
personalized Jeep shirt with a silkscreen picture of mine on the back

Now I can make that oversized tire carrier I've been needing (while
listening to the XM).
