Important

The one Rewster linked is the 97+ Hoppy converter. Curt, Reese, Hoppy, and probably others all have plug-n-play converters for the late models. They're about $30-35 online, and stupid-easy to install.
durrr i iz smart and didn't open the link :dunce:
 
I wear my seatbelt religiously. When I got my liscense I wore one all the time and then I started slacking on it until I quit wearing one all together.
Like 6 years ago I was traveling down a gravel road at an unsafe speed. Not recklass (sp) but fast. Hit a washboard in the road and spun sideways. Flipped endo and barell rolled once I was thrown from the Ranger my sister was also in the truck without a seatbelt. She remained in the truck and got a large cut on her head and smashed her hand. She went through many surgeries to get it working halfway normal. I still feel like a pos for that. I still miss that truck.

Worn one ever since

Sorry to hear that Tyler. Its tough.
 
I finally took the plunge and got a new daily driver this week. Not an XJ but it is fun.

Defiantly makes me want a V8 in my jeep. Hp is addictive.

Anyone recommend a decent looking reasonably priced car cover that will fit a chopped hybrid caged XJ. I want to move the jeep out of the garage but don't want to deal with HOA bs (even though my jeep is licensed and insured) or let the XJ sit uncovered in the rain all year.

Convertible 'Vettes are for women. Is it an automatic too? (Hear that jealousy?) I love the C6!
 
I may or may not want to get my hands on a ZR1 (new one) and take it to IMS for a few laps.....
 
I was going to ask you earlier, what big trailer?

Uh...I have some options...lets leave it at that...

I need a place to park...a trailer...

we made some progress today...pic when more sober...

Gotta be careful when confronting would-be thieves. Is it really worth it? Cases can be made either way, but I think if you're gonna pull on someone like that, you better be prepared to take the first shot.

A local pizza delivery driver (unarmed) was recently shot and killed because he tried to stop a random car break-in in the parking lot outside the pizza joint. You just never know what state of mind the thief might be in or what they are on.

sometimes its better to be a good witness...

I like...a lot. If you ask my wife tho she will say you have a small...

Holy heck I'd drive it...small or not...

Harbor freight has some nice tarps...I got a few.

Jim, you are too young to be having a midlife crisis, I on the other hand am almost to the age. You should let me take care of that until you are old enough.
 
the original Redheep making its way to Dougie Dougs?

Have fun! :cheers:
 
Jim, that car is bad ass. I have been teetering on a "spoil myself" purchase, but I just cant justify a sports car b/c it would not make it down half the roads in my county :D I am leaning towards a Kenworth or Freightliner multipurpose farm truck (toter) and a camper for the family.....and I am ready to pull the trigger on ordering a new side by side. Of course it is all for work/farm use, not for fun at all :D

Cheese "had a little good fortune as of late" Man

I will be installing a JCR NP242 skid plate on my rig at the campground... It might not get on Thursday (might not get there till late) but it will get done Friday for sure! Also possibly a RC dropped pitman arm as well, thanks Josh...

You're also welcome to use the box truck as a mechanics pit. You can sit under the Jeep if you put the front end in the box.
 
Thanks Guys, I hope I'm not going through a midlife crisis quite yet, if it is I should have went with something more exotic than a vette. On the tarp reco's to cover the jeep; unfortunately that's not an option. I need to have something that looks a little nicer. One of my neighbors already got hassled by the HOA for having his street legal non caged 4 runner on 38's sitting in his driveway under a car cover. Eventually he gave up and moved it into the garage. I won't give in that easy, but I also need to make sure that I do what I can to make it look nice. I trying to be as amicable as possible and don't want to end up in a dispute that would envolve a lawyers and such ince my jeep is "modified a little" :)

Anyone ever talked to a boat cover maker about making a custom car cover?
 
Okay, so I brought the hitch inside and got my nut strips out. Should all four bolts line up to holes (I am kicking myself for not taking them down with me)

Vette's are cool, this vette is super cool.

I personally don't like rag tops cuz they make a mess of my hair.

Just buzz cut your hair. I only have to get a hair cut every three months because I am losing hair up top. I only get it cut because sides and back get to the point I need to comb it, then I know I need to cut it.

Wheelers response made me chuckle. This response made me chuckle a little more.
