Taking a break from wheeling for a few years
« on: February 03, 2009, 11:15:42 AM »
Well, some of you may have noticed I've got my Jeep up for sale.  The wife and I have come to the compromise that we ditch the Jeep now and get a used 4 door JK down the line when our boys get in school (2 year old and the other due in May).  The Jeep is not a necessity at this point (I get a truck from work) and we could use the money.  I also see so many 4 door JKs around with 3" lifts and 35s right from the dealer that will never see off-road so I like my chances of finding one in a few years.  I guess this is probably a horrible time to try to sell a vehicle with the economy and all, oh well.  I will definitely still hang around so I can re-join y'all when I get another rig.

I always have an open seat for you if you get the itch. You got to do what you gotta do.

Yeah, what Matt said. Just cause you ain't got a Jeep doesn't mean you can't come ride and hang out.  {toast}

I tried talking her into letting me find a dedicated trail rig or something for like 2 grand just to hold me over  {no}.  Got to prioritize sometimes I guess.  It is hard to justify having such an expensive hobby and toy during this stage of our lives and daycare is freakin' outrageous.

Got to take care of family first and goodluck on selling the Jeep. Us 4 door owners have plenty of seats open if you want a ride! I got my 4 door rubicon used for $23k with 4k miles on it so deals will be great in a few more years.

I'm with the rest of the guys on this, do what meeds to be done, stay on the Board and show up to some rides and hop a seat. I know it aint as fun, but it beats sitting at home. When my seat is open it's yours, or jump in my backseat. Good luck on your sale.

It's cause it got so muddy at Morris Mtn aint it?   ;)

You're making all the right decisions with the Family first, and keeping the home front unified.  All my best.

You don't have to have a rig to come ride or hang out with us!
