I don't know any mechanics that like the new Jeeps, they are just a nightmare to work on!

My 93' Toyota keeps ticking. My bro has an 2005 Tacoma, not a damn thing wrong with it and every single mile should count as triple they way he treated it.
He actually just bought a piece of shit Dodge today, beyond me. Stepping backwards in life.

VERY backwards.Yota makes a GREAT motor; they just can't build a body that lasts up here, though they're getting better. The old 22R's were capable of 300k plus miles, easy.
The new Dodge trucks have weak front-ends.

And the Jeeps are just Dodges with different nose clips.

Put about 45 miles on the bike this afternoon, had a large time. 
Farthest I got from home was 5.75 miles straight line/12.4 miles over the road when I went to a friend's house in AL.

I've been getting some saws ready for a cookie cutting GTG. Nothing more embarrassing than a saw not running at a GTG.

Adrian, listen to these guys...I wouldn't buy a Jeep on a dare. If I were you, I'd be looking for a 2003-2006 Toyota Tundra...no doubt in my mind.

Square peg, round world.
Last week I saw a CJ with a sticker on the window that said "If you can read this, roll me over". I was about to, until I realized it was just written upside down.

Took the words right off of my keyboard! Same size as the newer Tacos but most of 'em have a V8. There was a frame recall on a lot of 'em (not mine unfortunately). Toyota made good on it by replacing the frame...which is good up to April 2012, even if you buy it used. Dealers will replace things like the timing belt for cost, and do upgrades like hp headers for cost as well. SO go find an '03 Tundra with a rusty frame!!!

Thanks guys. No Jeep here.
I was actually talked into a Honda Civic. We figured I could use Dad's 3500 if I ever need a truck, and with how much I drive around, they wanted me to get something with good mpg. I checked out the tundra just now, but everything around here, in my price range, thats 4x4 and 4 door, has like 150k miles on it.

131k on mine. Put an average of 21k a year on it since December of '07.

I'd have a civic if I can have a car. No go with bikes, dirtbikes, and just about something every day.

Civics don't like snow too much. Kinda low clearance. Good otherwise.

My inlaws have a Cherokee from the mid 90's, Pops exclaims how wonderful and reliable it is. Then I notice the handbrake is taped down as its buggered, the power windows dont work, the service engine light has been on for about 2 years and the fan belt whines like a 3 year old wanting candy...
I had an '83 Toyota for a while with a 22R, never had a problem, then I had an '89 Forerunner with the V6, blew the head gasket after a year, that was a pricey fix.

I'm sure Carl can teach you how to pull the mini and mowers behind the Civic if you want 
A couple years ago a buddy had to have a damn Jeep, no idea why! He bought a 78? CJ, he was all bragging it had the Dana axles and the six. When I asked "Why?" He replied it was a convertible. I told him he'd have been just as well off with a Chrysler LeBaron!

buddy of mine had an older CJ, 76 I think, I remember his morning ritual of pouring breakfast (eggs, pancake batter, pepper etc) into the rad as the rad had many leaks, due to the loose motormounts. LOL I remember one morning driving past his place and where the jeep was normally parked there was an empty egg carton and shells everywhere, must have been a rough morning!

Had to jump my bud's Toy Tacoma this morning. His fault, he knew it was going. Tail lights are a dumb assembly. The bulb sockets are crimped in the assembly, instead of being twist ins. The ground connection gave out. I shined it up and put a hose clamp around the socket, and then greased it all up. I wouldn't want to buy the whole tail light assembly. 4wd and it has been very dependable. 2002

Make up your mind, 'fell' or 'threw herself off of' the 23rd floor? (she survived, not a snuff pic, realized after I posted it might be taken as inappropriate)

Rough day, really easy day, but it sure hurt!
Decided I'd heard Bubba cough enough, and I wasn't feeling all that great either so I went out to buy a whole house humidifier. Not the one that ties into the heater, they can cause major mold issues, but a stand alone unit. Never would have thought that would be so damn hard!
Went to Lowes, all they had left were the single room units. Walmart, single room units, same at Home Depot. No love, even after checking on line, all gone!
Ended up at Sears, in the mall, they had them, but my dumbass didn't grab a cart because I didn't think they'd have any! Then I had to carry the damn thing all through the mall and out to the truck. Just about killed me! Not heavy, but a big box!
Today is the Heathen's birthday, he's six if you can imagine that, it's hard for me to! Mama took the day off and he had a nice party at school. Mama thought we needed to go out for dinner for his B-day so we go to Red Lobster. I can't make anything easy it seems!
Get there, he orders his drink, wife gets water and I order the "Titanic Jack and Coke". The waitress looks at me dumbfounded and I tell her it's in the computer, just type it in. Get our drinks, bread, appetizer and salads, all goes well. Get my entrée, baked potato is rotten, just bad! I tell the waitress just to let her know, a bad potato runs it for me, I don't want another.
Damn place goes defcon 5! Two managers and three waiters come running over to make it right! "Guys, I'm good, just wanted to let you know, that's all!" Everything from a free desert to broccoli was offered to make it right! I've never seen anything like it before!
Finally got them all calmed down and finished dinner. I went out to warm the van up and they knocked $15 off the bill! I'm not arguing, but really, it was alright, things happen!

Chased 6 first and second graders up and down ski slopes today. Done wore me out again they did. Slopes a tad icy from lack of any new snow and plenty of warm then freezing weather. Seth has a cold as do my other two. He could not attend today. Still feels good to slip on the slats and head down hill. Kids are picking up on it quick as they always do. We almost had an incident though. One kid lost a ski at the end of the day... He and it hit a real icy section and the dang thing went at least 600 feet hell bent down the hill. Stopped the kids and chased it hollering in case anyone got in the way. Thing finally hit some fluff so the brakes dug in before anyone got hurt. Whew. It was headed right for the bunny slope and lodge. Talk about getting your heart pumping!
So back to the grind tomorrow for 6-7 more days of fun and repeat... repeat repeat for a month or two until we catch our schedule up. Insurance companies and the fuel reduction grant are full swing. Kids are acting up from lack of daddy and so can mommy if this keeps up
