Josh,

I have never been afraid to 'open a can o' worms' with anyone about any subject... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I agree with most of what you say except:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans"> Are those rigs not jeeps? or at least the next evolution. Not to pick on your rig Del, but why do you think jeep went back to round headlights? </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">So, the square headlights of my Jeep does not make it a JEEP? C'mon, be serious. I'm talking drivetrain here that's a majority of another brand with a jeep body on it. How about the Honda crv....say I put a Jeep body on it..is it a Jeep? You seem to think so... <img border="0" alt="[Barf]" title="" src="graemlins/barf.gif" />

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans"> The Sniper is a re-built jeep.
Shannon Campbell's rigs are all jeeps and at least use jeep "lines" and real cj2a-3a grills.
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Ok, Land Rover's were first built right from the chassis/frame, drivetrain of a surplus MB/GPW... so I guess they're JEEPS. The FJ-40, a copy of a JEEP..it too is a jeep I suppose. The HUmmer has a lineage to the Jeep, I guess it too is a JEEP. Hmmm, why even have all the classifations here on the Wire forums, since all have a direct/indirect lineage to the Jeep and the Jeep is a 'state of mind' vehicle..... heck, let's simplify things and just have jeep forums and nothing else. See what I mean?

BTW, if you're going to pick on my JEEP, leave the headlights alone and pick on my factory Japanese made ax-5 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> And when it goes, you can rest assured that a BW t-18 will go in it's place <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans"> Benz owning/building jeeps hurts me (not to mention jeeps). Germany still wants to take over the world and is quietly waiting for the chance. And still has the insane notions of Hitler.
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">You are very correct about this point...anti-semitism(s?) is at an all time high there. will they never learn? Ignorant people! Benz buying and owning part of Jeep has to be one of histories biggest ironies...it's sad.

c-ya,
