Not there quite yet. Resisting like hell!…may have to be over 60 to get this reference.
Ya, throwing parts at an otherwise incapable 4-wheel drive vehicle is ALWAYS the route to making them more capable.
As they say, it’s better than the alternative.
In no hurry to get there, but looking forward to it. 25 years in construction is starting to take its toll. Of course that could be that I'm on the road, running a swing shift 7x12s at a power plant and that's a lot more draining at 45 than it was at 25?As they say, it’s better than the alternative.
No one gets out alive.As they say, it’s better than the alternative.
Everything is harder at 45 than 25. I wish I could tell you it gets better after that… Doing all of those boring fitness and lifestyle things slows the bus, I think, but nothing stops it.
Absolutely. In the gym, trying to eat right. If I'm going to put 40 years in this trade I want at least 2/3rds of that in good, mobile, enjoyable, retired years.
Its farewell, not goodbye. Trust me, you will be back. We are all Jeep masochist here. It may be with a new Jeep, or even a CJ, YJ, or TJ as a weekend warrior hobby jeep… but you will be back. That deep primal craving to drive a vehicle that in theory can take you anywhere will return. Until then, good luck and enjoy your beautiful and much smoother driving truck!Well, the time has come for me to say goodbye. I traded my Jeep over the weekend, and still have some mild, lingering regret. I have to say this forum has been great during the time I had my Jeep. I saved so much money on service and installation related costs from things I learned here. And there were so many members here always willing to offer advice and direction. I'll miss you guys.
And now, a retrospective...
