"2 hours ago you were yelling at me for forgetting I don't drive a Camaro anymore. And I'm only lifting 3 inches. People go a lot higher all the time, and they've been doing it in Cherokees for almost 3 decades."
"Well when you end up in the ER, I'm gonna be there to say I told you so."

Had a guy a few years back tell me "Why dont you just get a new H3 they already look just like everything you've done to your jeep anyway" I said ya know you're right they do, So instead of getting a FN TRAILBLAZER with a wanna be Jeep grille, I'll keep my original idea XJ instead of buying a gender challenged, HUMMER name badge on a blazer platform for 10k more than just a regular POS blazer.
All these poser H2 and H3 owners really fell for the ole bait n switch. You get a real HUMMER then I'll ooh n ahh. Till then I'm sure I'm just as close to the $75k price tag as the REPLICA owners. Only I'll be farther down the trail...

I just rented a spring compresser, and its not the better kind.
My boss shows up to pay me, and says "Oh, Ive got a set of those that go on the outside of the spring. I would have let you borrow them if you had asked."
Really? I told you I was doing my lift kit this weekend...

Both of them are wrong its a suv...
then again I dont mind when people refer to it as a truck.
I take it fishing, I take it hunting, I tow with it, I use it for work, I use it for liesure, my cargo is tools not kids, my back seats are small and uncomfortable.
Sounds more like a truck than a station wagon.
My title says Laredo on it. Ugh
