@hammerheadfistpunch Well "Dad" (don't know his name) really has it right. It seems like Wrangler/Bronco is like Coke/Pepsi in that they're so fundamentally similar that it's probably just going to come down to personal preference. i.e.: Neither has a substantive advantage over the other, so just get what you like.

@bicyclebuck
No worries. The other advantage of a tipper trailer over a tipper conversion is that it's much easier to load with a shovel..

@just-jeepin My older brothers and I did yard work/miscellaneous work for a guy at our church, and we got to drive one of those around to load mulch, haul stuff, you name it. Was the absolute best truck ever, and I am pretty sure all have a soft spot regarding that truck.

@just-jeepin Is that from the Rainbow Sheikh's collection?

@carsoffortlangley He seems to be exploring the Jeep’s capabilities on his channel, per discussions on this video. I’m glad he did so I don’t get tempted to find out how it would do, should I ever own one.

@hammerheadfistpunch
Down here, that species was always the Dyna/Delta. HiAce was similar but smaller/narrower.

Can confirm.

@454ssracetruck That definitely looks like a solid project - good luck!

@just-jeepin Happy Just Jeepin' day! How do you plan on celebrating this momentous occasion?

@aremmes
I have to wonder how loud it was inside that car. We had a big lightning storm over the weekend and there was a strike in the woods behind my house, maybe 200 yards away. It was so loud that everything in the house rattled.

@urambo-tauro
Welcome! 😉

@carsoffortlangley Great pictures! I think I recognize a couple of places - I've only seen most of the area from the air though. Ross Lake is as far south as I've ever flown out of Hope. From 10,000 feet it looked like it would be a great place to visit in person. When I had the Element I took a few drives on the mild forest service roads as far as I could that led more or less west from the Silver lake road that eventually gets to Ross Lake. The only real off road trip I ever took was with a friend on a non-flying day. We went up the American Creek (I think) road on the east face of Dog Mountain as far as we could go. Basically until it turned into a trail that would be cramped for deer let alone an old Pathfinder. It was an eye opener as the friend who was driving is one of the most cautious, careful and conservative pilots I have ever flown with but she turned out to be utterly fearless off road! (and quite highly skilled too) Me, I was full of fear as I had never done anything like that before.

@shop-teacher Hey, I know other things too sometimes! 😛

@farscythe Wait, these can be had for 8 grand?!

@beefchips id want a few ships escorting while wearing a dry suit.

@carsoffortlangley
My waterfalling has been shamed....

@exage03040 I just don't have a lot of time to get mine out! 😞

@nermal I watched TFLTruck's video that compares the Wrangler and the Bronco, and man that green Wrangler with tan soft top really makes me want a Wrangler so bad

@veearrrsix yup, man it makes me miss the Chesapeake and Annapolis.

@jeepoftheseus If you do, I got the relatively slick texture for the bedliner by thinning it with urethane thinner more than the instructions recommended. I wanted some texture to hide bodywork sins but I still wanted the paint to be slick enough to make cleaning easy.

@just-jeepin
A 95 Rio Grande in rare ass Aqua?

YOU GO BACK THERE AND YOU BRING IT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

YJ's are the best CJ's. Always and forever.

Even with 90s horror show wheels that is awesome.

@just-jeepin
I HATE HATE HATE the cold. The old YJ heater was insanely good though. as just a jacket was enough with the windows in place, even in ice. My Dakotas always had great heaters too. The one/only good Mopar thing? I'm also not a kid these days, so maybe I'd be miserable now lol.

@just-jeepin I would inspect the contents and condition of your fuel tank while you have the pump out, to see if there's any rust or debris that might be causing the fuel sending unit to seize up or get stuck.

@gmctavish thanks!

@just-jeepin I don't think anyone would even believe you. If it were pronounced that way, they would have heard someone say it, right?

@dipodomysdeserti Well then, I know what I'm watching after all this racing. Thanks!
