Ummmm, I figured it out...

It is the fact that they DON'T bounce that is so mezmorizing!

I don't think this thread ever had anything to do with RV's. I have a '51 CJ3A, flat fender. Not that that has anything to do with RV's either.....

Yup, in case you haven't noticed... this is a totally OFF TOPIC thread!

:mrgreen: ...and I love it!

A TJ is definately a JEEP. My wife's WJ is kinda a JEEP. The new WK's... ummm, dunno. I suppose I will get one next. Chad, lemme know what you think about the new WK when you plunk your monies down!

The CJ's and previous are REAL JEEPS with no computers and carburetors!

My TJ is a comprimise between a traditional (real) JEEP and a modern day car.

BTW, I passed 100,000 miles on the TJ today and it runs like DAY ONE!!! Quite literally! It is actually better than new because I have installed a 2" lift kit and 31" tires and it wheels on the sugar sand beaches we got around here like there is no tomorrow!!!

I just love JEEPS!

Mebbe I will take a pic of some nice ta ta's in an RV when my plane is done? I need to find a volunteer!

my wife decided today that she wants to keep the Spyder for one more summer. top down cruising is addicting... :roll: she looks so cute in it, so i won't argue. we'll probably look at new WK's next fall.

Hahaha, Jim... I will never steer you wrong!

Chad, keep the Mitsu and buy the WK just for the winters and long trips!

Jeeps

Post by jimpappas »

Guess I have it all.

My bride has a Jeep Wrangler with removable doors and hardtop and loves to drive around with her top down when she isn't going for rides in RV's that is 8) (That would be the Jeeps top by the way.)

Then again she's also the one that made me trade the 9A for the 7A cuz she found out it wouldn't go upside down.

No really, as Chad is my witness.....She's awesome! The Jeeps OK too.

Be well all.

Told ya!

She not only did that at that one but she managed to mooch a ride at Cleveland tools fly in with a CFII named Jim in an RV4 and came down with the infamous grin and said - "you better finish that plane!" 8)

Course Chads brides a cutie too!

We did have fun at that pig roast though didn't we?
