@chan covid running rampant here now. 2200 cases today.

@mm54 You can still assert dong dominance by parking on things.

I used to back onto those in my front wheel drive car

@dejock no, and frankly i don't really care. 9k is an absolute crack pipe no matter who is taking what portion of the profit.

@musashi66 said in 72 month loan on a 20-year-old Wrangler?:

@st80mnd 72 month loans for people with bad credit are horrible, no doubt there. I don't think we really disagree about anything here, except for the blanket statement that they are bad.

LOL, agreed!

@brickman Flagged for clickbait 😉

@roundbadge Sadly barring a lottery win it won’t happen.

@just-jeepin XJs always come up when I search for "XJS." Half the cylinders, twice the reliability.

@jeepoftheseus I’ve gotten away from watching the channel as I’ve been stymied by LJ brokenness, but every time I see one of these episodes pop up it’s been tempting. Such an iconic truck.

It makes me strangely happy to think about how in ten years or so, COFL will be a grizzled overland badass leading bigger and crazier trips, rescuing new drivers left and right, and exploring even further afield.

@carsoffortlangley That road is a real doozy, and nowhere near civilization. It's in a protected ecological area with a popular instagram photo prop.

@exage03040 bump for 4x4 day relevancy 😎

@just-jeepin is that an attic vent on top the roof?

actually I dont want to know anything about this abomination.

@just-jeepin Just order it blind, it will be fine. It's not like you're gonna buy anything else.

You'll need to reprogram yourself to the better ride quality and interior. The driving experience isn't the same, although the crappy steering and wind noise should be familiar. You get used to the shifter and pedals and stupid gear ratios and the auto-start-stop. Don't get emotionally distraught by redlining 1st and 2nd on onramps, or cruising on the highway in 4th, or having to downshift to 3rd to pass.

Budget $2500 for a re-gear if you get bigger tires.

@atfsgeoff said in I know this isn’t a common opinion:

@just-jeepin I mean, it's no Forward Control but I guess it'll do

I had to choose between a solid short wheel base Jeep FC or my Autozam AZ-1. It was really tough choosing between the two.

The FC was brown with a white grill, close to home, and really wasn't super rusty for what it was. I tried to get my friend to buy it so I could get it when he was bored with it. Almost worked too.

@just-jeepin g’night

@poor_sh I didn’t appreciate just how much I was used to having multiple flat surfaces on my LJ until I bought the Grand Cherokee. Suddenly there’s no place to safely set things except the roof.

@just-jeepin Counterpoint:

Weather looks great for racing this weekend

@hfv you’re right. That was my least favorite anyway.

@wacko 1998 Sahara and its sitting on a 2in lift right now

@just-jeepin said in I knew we were pushing too hard, too soon:

@rusty-vandura Or predictably absurd.

Perhaps.
