...temporarily. I sold my XJ a few days ago, and just found a little 1990 S10. Unfortunately, it's only a 2wd. But, sometimes you gotta sacrifice. It gets at least twice as good of gas mileage as my Cherokee, and I've been in need of a pickup for a while. So, that said, farewell off-roading world! I'll see you in a while!! (but don't worry, I'll stick around the forum for a little bit!)

Life has a way of getting in the way. Hang in there man. Do what you gotta do and come back when you can.

Much appreciated! Goin through rocky financial times, and decided the XJ was takin too much of the paycheck. I'm proud to say i found something affordable that's still AMERICAN MADE though!!

Haha ironically, i was thinking of getting a camaro. But, friends and fam talked me out of it. Probably good of them, considering in my old camaro i got pulled over for going 78 in a 55.....turns out it was a construction zone....

I think an XJ toy is a definite possibility once the college is out of the way!
