Ugg, Giant fires have the morning sun and sky orange. The biggest off road areas in northern CA have been on fire since I got my JL,

The last 2 years of fires are like nothing I have ever seen, its beyond crazy and hellish.
Can't "like" your post cuz what's happening just sucks. Hope it changes sooner rather than later. Momma nature needs to dump some rain, but not too much and then you get land slides. Seems you get no breaks.

They are probably going to need to find a balance between over protecting our massive forests and over logging/inferno fires. Smart thinning and some fire breaks or something. We never get much if any rain at this time of year, but it seems to be less, and the winds seem to be kicking up more.

I have an over grown mini oak forest behind my house, I have to get special permission from the county to cut down an oak tree even though there are 2-3 times too many oak trees as there should be in a given area. And If I do cut one down I have to pay hippies to have another one planted somewhere near by. I love forests but we need to be smarter, and have healthy ones

I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t even know about Dutchman’s Landing until now! Looks like a cool spot. I’m in the Catskill Mountains rather than the Town of Catskill, but the Catskills cover such a large area that anything within a one-hour radius is practically next door. :rock:

That being said I’m among the poor souls who ordered a 2.0L Turbo months ago and I don’t even have a window sticker yet, so it will probably be another month or two before I have a JL to show off.
:( :time: :( :time: :(
The wait will be worth it. I think you made the right choice by ordering the 2.0T since you are in the mountains.

So the fires out there were intentionally started?

ACE Rock Sliders. Wanted to keep the rubi rails, think this is the only option for that at this time.
That is the best photo of the sliders so far! It convinced me they are the ones, since I want to keep the Rubi ones as well.

Happy I could help out with that important decision

Well, I’m thinking about your seat covers... I will call them when I get back and ask about the back seat, but if I back out doesn’t make sense to spend the money on them.

G’morning unicorn Jeeples :sun:
FC1A9CE6-B08A-44B2-827F-3051CFD5D0E5.webp

It was not a good night. Started to really not feel well in the afternoon & it was all downhill from there. Felt like my head was in a vice & was going to implode from pressure, which also led to some unpleasant dizziness. Then my body couldn’t figure out if it was hot or cold, so it went back & forth between the two. Still feeling pretty crappy, but power through it I must! I can’t wait to get to bed tonight! In the meantime, it’s Friday Eve!!!
Don’t you get sick on us, lady! Take your Advil or Tylenol, and drink lots of fluids (alcohol free).

That’s where we come in Alex! We’ve been there, done that. I can’t tell you the number of times the group pulled me through waiting lows! It’s count down!

So I went and got a personalized plate ordered today. My first choice was IM BLU, of course. Guess what? They can’t put an I, had to be a number 1! So...1M BLU???? Uuugghhh... So I picked my third choice, which IMHO is awesome!
I will post a photo when I get my license. For now, I will let you go crazy with anticipation! Lol!!
