    Its a piece of the earths crust. Get over it. Don't you have a sick and dying relative, friend or dog to worry about? Do you owe me money?

    Its just a car. You might find youre less stressed wothout the money pit looming over you. Ive learned to not attach myself too hard to a car. Its an object so it only gives you the happiness you allow it to and it sounds like its not giving you a lot of happiness lately so why keep it? I sold my 65 mustang when the project was too much. I felt 100% better when it wasnt constantly staring at me.

    The older I get the more I realize that the most precious commodity we have is TIME. If the Jeep is costing you that and not bringing you pleasure then cherish the memories and kick it to the curb. The time you save will be much more precious than the "dream" you lost.

    BTW as I learned a few months ago there's no better way to force you to evaluate all the crap you hang on to than to move to a new house. Carrying big heavy boxes of crap that you haven't touched for years makes you say "why am I doing this again?"

    I had a 99 Montero that vectorsc and I put a LOT of time into. We did some crazy things with it, mechanically speaking. We converted it from an automatic to a manual. Involved a lot of time and thought, cus the 99 never came as a manual transmission vehicle (supposedly it did in other markets but not North America). I once swore I'd never sell it due to the investment of effort that went into it. Then I sold it. Was a welcome relief. Guy who bought it was tickled pink. All he had to do was maintain it, instead of do a bunch of work. It was "everything he ever wanted". He drove it home to Florida happy as a redneck in a manual, lifted, chimera of a Montero. Was a relief.

    I miss the 84 300zx, I miss the 1989 Suburban, but I don't miss all the work.
    Sell it, move on, enjoy the free time.

    Sold an '81 CJ and a '99 Titan Phoenix that became more trouble than they were worth. I still have fond memories of the good times we had together, but also remember why they're gone.
    But the '74 Bronco and the '09 Street Glide I lost in a couple of divorces still hurts.

    I know you loved that jeep man. Lots of great times from gawking at it behind The Tailgate to hitting a bunch of trails. You were smart with that ride and how you found parts you wanted through craigslist. New opportunities will come and you will have fun putting together another one.

    I guess I'm the opposite. I've put lots of time and money into rigs over the years, but as soon as they start breaking down or giving me problems, I tend to become eager to part ways with them. There again, I don't get too attached to guns or other items either (hence my Glock hooker designation).
