On topic: last two days people keep asking me why I have a tire and gas can on my roof. ARE YOU GOING ON SAFARI? DO YOU FILL UP WHEN GAS IS REALLY CHEAP? No, I went to the middle of nowhere and came back merely wet and with vice grips on a brake line. **** get a life. Only one coworker said it looked cool lol.

Uhhuh. Why can't these kids grow up and call those trucks what they really are? "Ugly overweight Dodge junk"... I'm going to put an NTC-250 in a Yaris just to confuse them. The engine doesn't mean a ****ing thing except for towing capacity. And the less Chrysler garbage the better

I still want a SWB classic-style Jeep for the herd. Something with a damn frame so you can actually take it all apart to remove the rust!

My buddy moved to Seattle and left his big lifted chevy in his garage down here in WY. Just asked me to sell it for him. I said " That P.O.S. How much?" He said 14k. I laughed and said you'll be lucky to get 9k. He replied " Well its alot better that a Jeep with hacked up fenders and no doors. I know you can't handle a real truck but maybe you know somebody who can" You never say that. Going to drive through his garage on my day off

Get it shipped to his new house COD if he can not pay the shipper they will send it to auction I had a buddy so something simular. He moved left his XJ but left it on my jack stands. Cause he took the suspension and axles for his new rig. He expected me to swap the stock stuff onto it and sell it for him. After he left it for 2 months and didn't pay storage or 6 months back rent. I needed my garage so I just winched it into the street from my garage and the HOA had it towed. Since it was a not moveable vehicle. HOA and tow company's sent me a bill I just threw them away after like 6 months HOA and the tow company took me to court I stated it wasn't my vehicle I am not paying it was abandoned infront of my house . The Judge sided with me. Cause it was not the registered owner so they went after my buddy. His tools were still in it too Mac, snap on , ect.

My girlfriend was so happy last night when it rained so it'd wash my jeep. I thought in the back of my head...that just means more mud

The other day someone asked me about Dodge/ Chryslers and how I must like them ,after all I own a Jeep. I looked at them and said I've owned over five Jeeps and none of them were Dodges or Chryslers. As I walked away their confusion was sweet!

I like mud cause I don't have to think; I can just go out and have fun. Good way to unwind.
