Default I am in love!

We got the jeep back and I drove it for the first time. First time I have ever been in a jeep much less drove one and I loved it. Brakes are hard and son said they said a booster was missing and so did the mechanic. Transmission is shifting hard but she has power! engine is strong. I inspected it closely and told my son since he didnt want it anymore I was going to cherry it out. About thirty minutes later he came in with a sheepish grin and said mom if I help you can I drive it too? but if I pull up with a girl can you not tell her it is yours? lol
Teenage boys you have to love them cause it is illegal to strangle them, and he is 6'3 and I am 5'5 so it is hard to reach his neck lol.

we are going to start by making sure there are no more dirt dobbers nests in it (it has sat in the texas woods for four years), gather all the specs on it and then start on the renix system.

I appreciate the advice and warm welcome you all have given me.

Put him to work on it doing Tips 1 through 5 in my link below.

He'll learn something, too.

Yep, that first drive was all it took for me as well. Too bad it took me 10+ years to actually get my hands on one. Cheers!
