There's hope for you yet! Being able to make your own parts is a big bonus. Fun too. I have a broke down Toyota in the drive. It belongs to my neighbor and is waiting for ANOTHER head repair. I watched him change a head on it several months ago. It's a pain in the <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> to work on compared to a Jeep. His stepkid decided to take it offroad (unauthorized) and play in mud. Well he got stuck in mud the belt came off, overheated the engine and now the head Gasket's blown again (not the same head). So I get to watch and listen <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> to him do it again. I am impressed with how well a nearly stock Toyota can do off road whenever I wheel with one. But I'm glad I don't have to do This head job. (I just provide space and half the tools). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> IMO, for off road fun the SWB Jeeps can't be beat. Easy to work on, lots of aftermarket stuff available everywhere. Cheaper preplacement parts, and to be able to ride topless and doorless is the icing on the cake. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
