Lost a Hunting Partner
« on: August 25, 2010, 06:19:20 pm »
 I did a lot of running around and hunting with this old girl but no more. She was geting a little long in the tooth. So  I traded her off for a new, younger one last night. I guess I'll have to start a new score board for this one, now.

Eddie, sorry to hear that,but also congrats on the new(er) one.
good  luck and hope she gets as many or more kills as the old girl did

i used to have ann '88 yj.loved that thing
hard as hell to get thme stcuk,but when you do you are definatly stuck
i used to go thru mud that was as deel as the floor pans
only time i would get stcuk is when the t-case skid plate would start snow plowing the mud and it wuold build a pile of mud right under itself
but then what would you expect after a solid 1/4mile of mud.
my uncle north of me would hold 2 mud runs a year out on his land,no to mention the 7.5 miles of trails in the woods
alwayts fun to have a toy and a place to use as it was designed for  ;D
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

Old Jeeps never die ...they just become somebody elses project!!  I had a 78 CJ-5 project for a few years and now it is someone elses too!!

 Cool score board... from the distant picture, I thought the armadillos were rats!! :-[

Sorry for your loss, congrats on the new one... Is there gonna be a "break in" period or are you gonna let this one pick up where the other one left off?   ;D

Would have loved to had the old one. Congrats on the new one.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

 I hadn't planned on getting rid of it or buying a new one. But when it's a '93 and they gave me 10K  on the trade in and paid the balance on the wife's car off, I had to have it. The gray one is an '08 still under warranty. If the young girl is going to come close to equaling the Old Girl she'll have to come out hunting hard. ;D ;)

wow, ya.  one thing you lost is the inline 6 though.  that really sucks.  chrysler got rid of the two motors that were pretty good.  the 318 and the 4.0 inline 6..  the nose sure does look longer on the older one..

 aero, I wish it had that 4.0, six. This one has a 3.8, maybe that will be enough?
