Body Damage is Cool
I am kinda ashamed, but I bought another corvette. This one is a 40th anniversary model, with all the bells and whistles, and a 6 speed. It is painted some unmatchable shade of teal. The Jeep is turning over 100k, so I bought it this toy. You should see how it smiles....OH Yeah.. I am no longer a biker, since my right side is getting too weak, to safely kick start something, that I cannot hold up......What am I going to do with all those T-shirts <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />......be cool....Mike <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" />

About two years ago I gave up on the Isuzu. I bought a built YJ with good pieces but [censored] execution and turned it into an awesome trail rig with a paint job that probably belongs on a show rig, but I still run it on the trail.

Yeah, I added a 4x4 Ford F150. A 2006 model that I couldn't turn down as it had less than 21,000 miles when I got it in December. I did get my dad to quit driving and I got his truck...

That makes it 3 4x4s... My Beast - 94YJ fully built and Beauty, a 2010 JK that is being built. The Ford may end as the Troll of the group...

I bought an Evo 4 last year, loved it, but hated getting fuel for my commute every 2nd day, and started driving the Pajero more. Price of premium went way up and diesel went down, so I sold (sob) the Evo, and am still driving Old Betsy number 5 (this is year 5 of having her, and I just rolled up 200k kms: she had 60k when I got her from Japan).

Been doing lots of mountain biking, some kayaking, and not enough "4x4wiring". But I'm still here! Glad you guys are too! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Every 2nd day???

For the past month I have been doing at least 2 days a week with 2-3 20+ gallons per fill up. And, an additional tank or two per week!

I live, therefore I drive.....

Hello...

I'm still in HI driving a 9.5kton warship powered by 4 DC10 jet engines. Oh, and I needed a fresh start so I bought 2 FJ40s and sold the FJ60. Then I blew the 44 y/o engine in the '69 so bought a '96 FJ80 to drive while I put a 5.3 Vortec in the FJ40. Why is sh!t always so complicated with me?! Hahaha

I have a friend who says that when someone's life is dominated by chaos, the source of the chaos is usually themselves. (LOL)

I got rid of the Sportage and traded it straight up for a 1996 Ram 1500 4x4 5.9 RCSB.

After several thousands of dollars of work, it's now at the same level of the Sportage. but it can tow anything and is an absolute blast to drive.

I also bought a couple of dirt bikes for the wife and I...


"Does this part need to be in there?"
