Yes I do! (Whoodathunkit)

I also still wave at other Jeeps.

Its a 2010 JKU, with 2.5" coil lift, 35X12.50 Red letter Grabbers, and more light than the sun above the windshield.

 

Taking Erik and Teresa Jeepin tomorrow...
Up the Leavenworth creek trail which parallels Argentine pass outside of Georgetown CO. The pass tops out at 13,200 feet if we can make it to the top, but we will be stopping at the Santiago gold mine (abandoned) for some great scenery.

There is cell service for 80% of the trail, so plan on seeing pics from the climb, and more once we get back down to the city.

 

We have a TJ. Love that thing. Replaced the sway bar bushings for next to nothing in the driveway. Replaced the battery cables without banging a knuckle. It's marvelous to have a car in the fleet can be worked on without banging a knuckle and can be parked without caring about door dings. I love it almost as much as the MINIs.

Plus, he's super fun in the snow!

 

Here's my son's Flex J. Just sold this past October...

 

Here is my mini and jeep together

 

Glad I wasn't the only one at the Dragon with a Jeep this year! However I only found one trail to play on, and it really wasn't much.
However it still gets me when people buy a Jeep, and it NEVER sees dirt! Most of these people even spring the extra cash for a RUBICON (factory built true off road model) just to have the name on the hood...
I prefer to go out of my way to have fun with my lightly moded SPORT and if you look close you can tell it gets used.







Even added a sticker after the trip...

 

To me it was $700 well spent. Had a couple topless days, (the Jeep not me) it served as a hotel room for a few nights, I got to play "Will it fit" in the hotel parking garage in Nashville, plus even with all my stuff I still had 4 open seats. Hopefully next year I will be driving the RAT-MINI down though.

 

More trail pics coming after tomorrow... Since I cant do anything to the MINI I am taking some friends up to crawl Coney Flatts.
Its another long trail day to make the 15 mile loop, so don't expect anything before 6:00 pm mountain time... If we make it through the rock garden.

 

I had a JEEP GC. I could it would go places I wouldn't take it. If I lived out west I would have one again.

 

This is from the winter we had in Feb of this year.

 

I have two GCs, both street machines. When I sold Jeeps for a year as a 'hobby job', I was the top Wrangler salesman for the year, put out a bunch of extreme Rubicon units.

Love them, but I don't own one. I did own an 88 Wrangler at one time.

He's (we've) got a race truck now...

 

Like matt, I also miss my rusty 2002 TJ, kept outdoors in NE PA for 11 long winters. We had to ease into a Jeep Compass Latitude (for a comfort-trip to the Keys with our dogs!)
But I intend to return to Wrangler ASAP. I have been a Jeep-man since the 80's, while I started MINI recently (2010)

Wow! Nice g2g! It's funny how different it is from the MINI. I sit on it, toss things on it, we park as close to the store as we can with it. (And never a door ding, of course. Do that with the MINI and it'll cost $500 to repair it.) Love it as much as I love the MINI but for very different reasons. And Jeep people wave here, unlike MINI folks.

Just replaced one of the front ball joints this weekend, along with new pads and rotors. All I have to say about that is that my PT guy will either yell at me or thank me for padding his wallet, since my shoulder is a wreck again.

Someday, I'll make it to Moab. Someday.

 

Rausch Creek is calling!

Find yourself a Wrangler, Pac, and let's go!

 

heres my jeep for now The green is a 2013, the silver was a 2012... until the mini gets here.. than it will be the Mini and the FJ

 

I just sold my first rig a month ago... Well it was more of a family pet...

A '87 Samurai that I built, kept going, and wheeled the crap out of for almost 8 years! If it wasnt for the MINI, it would still be in the back yard, getting a buggy spring stretch or something crazy!

The older the 4X the more durable the OE stuff actually was, and the aftermarket stuff is cheaper. I spent like a grand on all the parts to rebuild the entire engine in the Zook. (No it wasn't anywhere near stock)

 

Pictures as promised... Erik has more, if he wants to put them up.:beer



This parking space looks good...







1904 Steam powered water pump... Well what's left of it.











The summit of Argentine pass...



















Sitting on top of the Continental Divide... (I sent a small "sample" to Commiefornia! :lol: )







Santiago Gold Mine...











Inside the mill... (The mine/mill was operational until the early 1980s, by two local residents of Georgetown)



















That's all I took that's worth sharing. One day I want to camp at Santiago, bet it would be creepy as **** in the middle of the night.:cornut:
