    Default How do you handle.....

    ... letting go of something you put a lot of heart, blood, sweat, and tears into...?

    ... and the darn thing is just putting more headache than peace of mind....

    Take pictures of it so you can just look at the Jeep, or whatever the thing might be, whenever you're feeling nostalgic. Being totally serious.

    That's the problem... It's my Jeep... it breaks my heart what's happening to it. From one problem to another... it finally broke me yesterday.
    I'm planning on stripping it down and selling it.

    It's just stuff. You can always get another one. Older, newer, whatever; it's not like they'll be banned any time soon.

    It's always when I really put a lot of work into something that I lose it, or it dies, or gets totaled, or something.

    Well, try another angle. If all you're getting out of it now is trouble, then you've gotten all the joy out of that Jeep that you're going to get. You've reached 100% of the possible joy you can get, and keeping it longer will just soil the good memories that you have now. Every month you waste holding on to it is stealing a month of joy from whatever the next thing that is out there waiting for you. Good luck!

    I feel ya man. I sold my Jeep last August to buy an F 150 Super Crew from a forum member. I poured hundreds of hours of labor into that Heep and loved it. My favorite vehicle ever.

    The F 150 is nice too. Much nicer actually. I have many awesome memories with the Heep, but now I'm making more with the new truck with my kids.

    PARTING OUT (INSERT YEAR) jeep.
    Well loved jeep with too many accessories to list. Buy it all or in parts. SOLD AS IS .












    it's an inanimate object..
    Here's how to look at it w/out getting all weepy.

    IF this was your business OR a spouse who you've invested shit loads of time, money and heart in to. BUT.... for some reason became more of a burden than joy. You'd drop it ASAP without looking back. Sure there would be those times you waxed nostalgic over the great memories. Yet in the long run you knew it was time to part ways.
