You don't need that. It serves no useful purpose. Why don't you get a nice little Honda Accord. [roll] Karl.







































Nice, congrats. Karl.

That's what the rack on the back is for. :mrgreen:

It is a 1999 with only 18,250 miles.

Total custom suspension and axles, it should go over just about anything.

His statement was "I have 6 cars, 4 are Jeeps, the wife said one must go."

He said that he wanted to sell it because it doesn't have enough room for all of his family and the dog. He is planning on building up a Cherokee next. I also think he likes to build them as much as drive them.

I did buy the Jeep, got it on Friday. Took it out today to try it out.

Ran Moody Hill and Crystal Mountain. Needless to say I was very pleased with the performance.

At the quarry.
