 Tim, the one i sold before the "Hunter" had over 680K miles. And the guy that bought it drove it to Alabama with his life's belongings tied all over it. It looked like the Beverly Hillbilly's.

Sterling, those talley's are all stuff I've run over with that Jeep.

The memory of one's old jeep never fades. Here is my last one,with the right tires it would almost climb a tree.

The picture was taken in 1974 I think, first jeep and first bow kill. Several years later I went in to work a midnight shift, came home and my jeep had been stolen, never was recovered.

[mullet]

 That sucks, Eric. I'd still be looking at every Jeep hoping to spot it one day.

ed does the new one have more cargo space in the back or is it the same. may be getting rid of my 99 if the job im being concidered for comes through. love mine but once i pick the kids up we're packed to the gills.

I have always wanted a Jeep.. and still lookin for the right one.. my 1st love was my International Scout. Man i loved that thing... nothin like cruzin round with the top off and the AC on, lol

[mullet]

 Jamie, There is more room in the back seat, but the back "trunk" is still the same. They tried to sell me a 4 door for the same price , they are desperate to sell, it seems.

 Brian, I had one of those Scouts. They were nice till they broke. All the parts were different dealers, mostly Dodge.

[koan]

Yep... motor=AMC, trans=Chrysler, ignition and electric=Ford, transfercase=BorgWarner, axles= Dana..... and thats not all... the last few they built had whatever was left in the factory they could bolt on, LOL .... But parts are plentiful... after you figure all that out, lol

[Hillbilly]

Eddie, if you'll lay off the drivin' over big critters, they'll last longer... Brian, I had an old '67 Scout that looked like one of the original short jeep-like Broncos. I loved that thing- it would climb a tree, toughest, goin'-est vehicle I ever owned. Like Eddie said though, it nickle and dimed me to death. It was a major ordeal to find something simple like a starter or altenator for it.

i'll never forget that herd of pigs you ran over in the old girl.  that was one of the funniest sights i'd ever seen!

[mullet]

 I wish somebody had video'd blasting through that herd of pigs,, with steaks, ice, beer and all flying in the air. And me about crapping from almost flipping it. But that was only one hog talley on the side, the next herd yielded all but one more sticker.

[mullet]

 Steve, she still had a lot of life left, it was just too good a deal to pass up. And guess I'm getting old, I like that Airconditioning.

[Hillbilly]

Yeah, I actually have an automatic transmission, A/C, and electric windows on my truck. We're turning into old wussies.

[mullet]

 Turning old aint bad as long as you do it with style and gracefully.
