    Just picked this up, pulled some downed trees and mountain laurel out of my front yard to test it out. My 4th jeep, I've had a cj5, cj7 and tj over the years. Tj was my favorite so far.

    I rented a trailer and towed it behind my Yukon on a Flatbed. Drive was ~ 22 hours. The Yukon worked but I would buy a diesel if I did it a lot.

    Haven't fixed the header on my Scrambler yet but it was so nice out this morning I took it for a spin around the block.

    Stopped to get a pic and got photo bombed :)

    I've been driving Jeeps exclusively since 1986. All I need is a good dependable vehicle so I can drive around taking pictures of everyone else's nice cars. :)

    Started with a 1986 2 Dr 4 cyl Cherokee that couldn't even pass a car on a two lane highway. Then got a 1989 Cherokee, put a 1/4 million miles on it before getting a black 1999 which I've had up until a few weeks ago. I put a 1/4 million miles on it as well. It didn't last as well cosmetically as my 1989. I've never had a garage to keep them in.

    I've been driving the 1999 that has served me well over the years and wasn't in a position to get another. Besides looking like total crap the AC went out several years ago which stinks in FL. I guess I just got used to it. The Radio went out a few years ago.

    Then a lot of different elements came into alignment and I found myself able to get a 2014 Grand Cherokee. My oh my what a difference 15 years makes in Jeep design and I'm having a blast checking out all the features that I've been missing over the years. The real value is the freedom it will give me to do the things I thought would slip away.

    I know I'm posting in the land of multi million dollar car collections but today I bet I'm just as happy :D

    Here's a couple pics of the 1999 that I traded in, my new ride and one with my 1981 CJ-8 Scrambler that I've had since 1993

    My wife and I were walking past a very accessorized Wrangler recently and she said "what is that?" while pointing at the hoopty thing mounted on the front bumper. While I had a guess in mind I told her that I didn't know.

    Turns out, it's was a Stinger bumper.

    Useful in the rock mountains out west but hardly so here in FL (but hey, another cool custom Jeep :) )

    The latest trend?
