Went to see Ramiro at Jeepetos

[DOUG]

Juh-pet-oh's. That's how ya say it.

I've know Ramiro for years through the great group of guys at Jeep Beach, and just never made it by his shop when I'm down here in FL/StPete, but I had to today. 

The kids called me to say the Tahoe blew up and overheated and antifreeze was everywhere coming out of the back of the motor, the new Jasper motor.  I called Allsouth and got my invoice emailed to me and caught a ride to where they were.  During investigation while waiting for a wrecker I found the T at the firewall for the heater core had broken and the hose was detached.  Antifreeze was everywhere.  So not the motor.  Hoping no damage is done. Madison did a great job of stopping instantly and whipping into a bank when it dinged and flashed engine overheating.  Part of the D-money driver education program.

So I called Ramiro and explained and he said he was full up but bring it on and we would fix it.  I texted him a photo and the part was there when I got there.  Then he didn't charge me any labor and I insisted so he charged some labor.  Great guy.

So here are some cool photos of his place and Jeeps, toys, and his desk.

I saw it last year at Jeep Beach and talk to the guy driving it.  It was a head turner for sure.
