^ not mine

question: why do most of your raise your trucks? cause it looks good? or does it have a purpose?

As you can see in my pic, I actually take my truck off road. I am an outdoorsman, I hunt, fish, etc so there are times I need a 4WD, and it gets back in further than a full size can usually... I've rescued the odd Jeep too.

Plus, it just plain out looks sick!!!
Since I was a little kid, I dreamed of having a truck with a stance like the way my truck is now.

Nice car... A lot of power for the money... nice!

It is actually quite nice, my first front wheel drive car that has power... Little something to get use to.

the collection missing the 2011 dodge ram 1500

Love the collection. You need to bring the Lambo to the James Fund exotic car day next year. It raises money for kids with Neuroblastoma(I think I spelled that wrong). Owners bring their cars in and either they drive them or an instructor from the Ian Law Race school, around a small course and they raise money by taking passengers.

oh my bad, you are having a circle jerk. enjoy yourself.

oh dear.... lol

I see by your avatar that you wash yours regularly, too. I keep thinking that some day I'll get one of the new generation Wranglers, but right now the cargo space of the Liberty is still very handy for dump runs, hauling firewood, etc. Plus, there's something just... je ne sais quois... about blasting through a muddy forest trail with the AC on and the stereo cranking out Led Zep.

I'm not a big fan of water, but it's a part of wheeling so I deal with it. I won't do mud. It was fun when I started, but I quickly moved onto more fun things... like rocks.

At this point, I'm patiently waiting for some funds to allow for the purchase of another vehicle so I can rebuild the Jeep.

Excuse my ignorance but I've always liked the look of Jeep Wranglers. Are they built well though? How's the upkeep....maintanance costs? Is there a diesel version as I heard they are gas hogs.

 

[Fingolfin]

Sure let me know

umm..

umm..

you also need to bring it to my house for the ...umm.... child awareness fundraiser....

Diesels have only been available in certain model years of Jeep Liberty (a VM-Motori 2.8L 4-cyl) and Grand Cherokee (a Mercedes-Benz 3.0L 6-cyl). Wranglers never had them in the North American market.

If you are used to a normal car, you'll probably find the Wrangler severely lacking in refinement for normal on-road use. They're noisy and uncomfortable, and the beam-axle suspension at both ends gives awkward ride motions (there's a reason why beam-axle front suspension disappeared from cars in the 1940's). It's as aerodynamic as a brick, too. But for what they're meant to be used for - off-road - that's where they are in their element.

Quality control hasn't exactly been a traditional Jeep strong point. Most Wranglers have a 4.0 litre inline-6 engine which is pretty much indestructible, the rest of the car will fall apart around it.

That raises awareness of children? Good charity. Definitely needs to show up.

Share the unfortunately named Rogue with Zippie.

Sounds illegal and creepy

If it wasn't for my need of a Pick up, I would have a Jeep... And I would consider finding a wrangler that is wrecked in the back end slightly to build the Brute, only that bed isn't big enough and I lose my rear seats, which is where I throw my guitar/stuff that can't get wet...
And, I love it when my truck makes it through a hole that jeeps are getting stuck in. Plus, everyone and their grandma lifts up jeeps, almost nobody lifts up a 355 (canyon/colorado) close to as high as mine is, it's a head turner and one of a kind. If I ever sell it, it would break my heart to see someone else driving it.

Old picture, from when it was nice and mint and shiny...

2001 Accord 4-door. I have the 5-speed model (4-cyl), with leather, sunroof and heated seats. 160,000 kms.

It still runs well and it keeps me out of trouble. It doesn't still look like this, but it's not too rusty yet.

The money's better spent on motorbikes

Dude, I love the colour of your bike. Do u want to swap fairings? You'll get the 750 at the tail section

 

[Dr.Manhattan]

I really like that new camaro. You enjoy it?

Yea I love it. Putting her away this week . I test drove the Challenger, and although I loved the outside look of it, the interior looks so bland. In fact, the interior is the same pretty much from all of there vehicle line up from 2006 and up, including the Dodge Ram, and the Dodge Magnum. Went with the Camaro and never looked back, it did surprisingly good when I took it to Shannonville.

Here's mine, got into cars before I got into riding.

Her name's Heidi. I equate her to having a Hot Blonde Model German Girlfriend, easy on the eyes and fun to ride, but not easy on the wallet.

Guess who she was named after??

Doesn't Heidi Montag have a hideous husband?

2000 Stock civic SI that's not worth posting. Although I'm very proud to say that it doesn't have any rust

Will it make my bike go faster haha. If you had the all black ones I'd be all over that. At first I wasn't to big on the yellow but the price was right, but its grown on me now.
