Car Forum / Jeep / December 2006Love it - hate it
I love going stomping in mud puddles.. Slinging mud everywhere, making a big mess and knowing that no one will park close enough to ding me when it's that dirty. but - I hate having to wash it all off again. But it started raining as I finished scrubbing , so I got a free soft water rinse. Had a guy at the dealership tell me I should take a picture of it, I laughed and told him "Hell, if I want to see it with mud on it, I'll just go find another mudhole to play in" > I love going stomping in mud puddles.. > Slinging mud everywhere, making a big mess and knowing that no one will park [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > and told him "Hell, if I want to see it with mud on it, I'll just go find > another mudhole to play in" Salesmen just don't get it. tw  Signature_____________________________________________________________________ 2003 TJ Rubicon * 2001 XJ Sport * 1971 Bill Stroppe Baja Bronco "There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'."

A few do, they rarely last.

I don't think they HAVE greenies, or there would be a lot of changes made here. Actually, this place could use a few of them. Have no rocks nearby, but lots of mud. I'm not really 'rock ready' anyway and I don't want to break sh.t. I try to keep the mud from building up underneath to keep the rust away. They salt the roads here. Twice yesterday my husband said he thought I should get a pressure washer for Christmas. I told him that if that was his excuse to buy one, to go for it. Hardwood floors were MY excuse to buy a nice miter saw. > This is Tennessee... I don't think they HAVE greenies heh.....fair enough. > I'm not really 'rock ready' anyway girl youve gotta rubicon, youre about as rock ready as it gets. :-) im hoping to find a salvage rubicon to serve as a drivetrain donor for my cj build, coming soon.

I want to get some rails on the sides and better underbody armor. Hubs is designing me something that looks like it will do a good job of keeping my dumbass from tearing sh.t up. He has some of the materials, i asked him if maybe he could just do that for my Christmas gift. Ya never know!

Yeah, I dropped off for a few months because of all that crap. Sad to see it's still here. I might split again for awhile...dunno. Glad to hear you're doing well.

Yep, doing great, thanks! >>Is your garage heated? > > heh....definately.....but im moving my projects over to a commercial garage > ive leased, more room to work. I'd love to be able to do that, you've got me thinking now. Right now I just store my extra stuff in a nice boat storage unit, but it's 70 miles away, not too convenient for projects. Soon I'd like to do a body off resto on the Baja Bronco, but my tiny 3 car garage would only be big enough if I pushed the TJ and another vehicle out. The CJ8 is a much more simple resto...or are you building a crawler? tw Signature_____________________________________________________________________ 2003 TJ Rubicon * 2001 XJ Sport * 1971 Bill Stroppe Baja Bronco "There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'."

SignatureNathan in Montana http://ConcealedCarryForum.com http://1911Tech.com http://GlockCarry.com In Colorado they put all kinds of extreme looking stuff, including Jeeps with tractor tires and no fenders, sitting way up high, on the street. The first time I saw one in the City Market parking lot, it could barely fit in a parking space, the tires were so big. Stay away from anything with "title issues".

Shouldn't be too hard to find a rolled Rubi... :) What are some issues with a CJ7 body on the TJ frame? I know it's not a bolt on affair. tw Signature_____________________________________________________________________ 2003 TJ Rubicon * 2001 XJ Sport * 1971 Bill Stroppe Baja Bronco "There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'."
