Based on last year’s trek with the Willys, he probably won’t be going over I-70. At least, I pray to all that is holy he doesn’t attempt it...

Officer: “Do you know why I pulled you over?”

My dad is guilty of doing just this; my mom drove the tow vehicle (somewhat slowly down back roads) while my dad was on the OPEN(!) trailer, wrenching on his stock car on the way to the track. I was very young (5-ish) but can remember pulling into the gates at the track, looking back and seeing my dad standing in the…

He’s beaten and bloodied. He’s exhausted. His psyche is bruised and his ego is nut-punched. Do I say it? Do I be that pedantic ass?

BTW David stay strong.

I wrote a whole Jeepster Origin story for you yesterday so you are atleast Canonized.

Please survive.

Ever miss working in a nice, air conditioned R&D facility designing systems for new, rust free vehicles, on a computer, for a steady and relatively stress-free way of life?

I’m sure it’s some kind of lighting issue, but what is up with this Red Skull thumb?

Excellent point. Besides, he’ll have trailer brakes!

I don’t think FSJ’s came with dedicated grounds until the 90's so you’re intermittent gauges are almost certainly spotty grounds. The trannys always run hot in these too, so if you added a cooler you should be good to go.

I’m amazed at how much your friends are willing to take your shit for some really horrible and POS jeeps. Those are true friends. You are lucky.

That sounds like something he’d at least think of doing.

Does the CJ-2A actually work? I thought you had more to do there as well? Are you going to be on the trailer wrenching on it while Andrew drives down the interstate?

David, if you have any trouble between Kansas City and Denver I can offer assistance, a garage, lots of tools, and a tow vehicle if need be (6,500lbs with my 02 Overland). Oh, and if you decide you want to leave it in a ditch somewhere out here ill buy it off you.

Either that, or we’ll ditch it in a junkyard somewhere and continue on in the Willys.

Number of Jalops surprised by this revelation: Zero

Realistically however, these things improve the experience for the vast majority of actual Jeep use - which is faking looking tough while cruising malls and crawling cul de sacs.

They’re angry because they’re stuck at the mall. All the happy jeeps are out on the trail.

Nope, ugly.
