Default 2nd Jeep, New to Forum. From Indiana

Hey Jeepers. I'm on my second Cherokee, and have loved every minute with them both. The first one (a stock red '99) took a nasty dive into the river where I work, but I came out smelling like a rose. My new blue '01 is stock, but itching for some mods. I'm a student of the Cherokee ways and can't wait to get my beast truly off-road worthy

I swerved to miss a dog and went off a 60 foot cliff, went airbourne, hit the front end, and did an end-over-end flip, landing in the river. If I were in anything other than the ol' XJ, I probably wouldn't have been as lucky to walk away. Needless to say, next time the dog'll have to go

Damn man that looks like a horrible wreck. Glad the XJ kept ya safe.

Did you buy that totaled one back? Had nice wheels still, and parts jeeps are nice to have around. (Guess you wouldn't get and body parts though.)

Where you at in Indiana?

I sold her for scrap to offset the cost of getting it pulled from the river. In retrospect, I wish I'd kept it. I like the wheels on the red one better than the set on the blue. Some of the parts would've been nice to have around as well, but
