I was with a buddy looking at trucks at a dealership and I was looking at a Dodge Powerwagon, when they brought it back. A salesman came up to me and asked if I was interested and I told him no. He started with the what can I do to put you in a truck today thing I told him I had an XJ and pointed it out. He said that I needed a new truck because I shouldn't be driving something that old and unreliable, I told him to walk back inside before he started loosing teeth.

Oh yea, my XJ also has a lean.

When you work at a Chrysler dodge and jeep dealer and you ask to look at pricing on a part and they ask you if it's a grand Cherokee or a sport (cherokee) even tho you say 95 jeep Cherokee and the guy has seen the jeep!

As i was welding together my roof rack in progress in the driveway my dad pulls up pissed as all hell.

"WHAT THE BEEP ARE YOU DOING NOW!? YOUR SPENDING MORE MONEY??? YOU LEAVE FOR COLLEGE IN LESS THAT TWO WEEKS? WHEN ARE YOU GONNA STOP. FIRST THE LIFT, THEN TIRES, THE SHOCKS, AND NOW THIS!?!"

He was furious.

And to that i simply said...

"Would you rather i spend a little money and time on this roof rack or would you rather i go blow it on drugs and beer, and get arrested and go to jail?"

He saw my point.

When i first got the jeep any mods were completely out of the question, atleast that's what my dad said. Now, i act first and then ask for forgiveness. I paided for the jeep, i pay the insurance, i pay for the repairs, i pay for the gas. As far as Im concerned, if i pay that much for everything, Im gonna have some fun while Im at it!

Sorry for the rant; long day

I have no use for a 4WD and I got my 2WD cheaper than a 4WD would have been.
