3.8L is an ok engine but they to tend to have a lot of oil consumption issues. If you are going the JK route, try to find a '12 model with the 3.6L. Engine seems to be pretty good so far. That is what is in my '13 JK.

 

IMO if you are buying a vehicle to just take off road, don't spent $16K on a newer model Jeep. Just get something cheap and keep throwing parts at it to build it up. Personally I would go get a cheap Cherokee, small lift and a sawzall and you can fit those 33-35" tires and do almost everything a Wrangler can do off road for A LOT less than $16K

As many have said, stay away from those Brinkmann pieces of crap. Very thin metal that warps because of the heat it does produce. All very cheap coatings on the grill surface.

 

Picked up a King-Griller brand a couple years ago and it is world of difference. Great heavy duty unit that I picked up at Menards for like $180. Picked up the charcoal add on unit so I can use either gas or charcoal on the same grill.

At my former job, we used TeamAIR or United Freight when the company relocated an employee and their family.

Have you checked with Lowes or Home Depot? I know they can cut glass for you, so might be worth a check to see if they can also drill.

I had to help plan my department one last year and here are some I found you can do locally:

 

Shooting range, ATV tour, Food tours, GPS/Geocaching, Cooking classes, painting classes

A 2004 vehicle with a tape deck?????????

Man my student loan interest rate was never above 1.5% during the whole time I had them. Once my loans went into repayment, I signed up for the auto withdrawal and they cut my rate to .25% as long as all payments were on time. Still glad those things are completely paid off now. Graduated college in 2001.

Line-X > Rhino Liner any day

 

Haven't heard of Bullet Liner, so can't comment there.

Looking for a handheld GPS unit for hiking and Geocaching. Let me know if anyone has something sitting around collecting dust.

 

Thanks

I was always told that as long as you are not in a state park, they can't stop you from drinking and canoeing or kayaking. Do it all the time up in Mohican. Also buddies of mine and I hit up the Birch Bark Canoeing in Urbana at least once a month once the water gets warm.

At any point in the movie, if they don't say "I'd buy that for a dollar" it is complete fail!

Seems like if you pick the cheaper shipping options from Amazon, it has been delivered this was for me for over 6 months now. For me, it seems to add one extra day to the estimated delivery day.

Don't forget to watch out for wild packs of dogs

My 15 year old Doc Martins have never let me down. One pair of brown shoe style, and 1 pair of black boots. Love those things to death. In those 15 years, I have only replaced the laces once.

Good friends of mine will end up living like 3 minutes from this. They are going to be very happy having a range that close. And as much time as I spend with them, means I will be at this location a lot.

Remove of as much wood as possible so that you can put all the weight in the back of the car.

Not to thread jack, but i have a relevant question.

 

I am looking to buy a pair of tickets from some guy on craigslist for 11/15, who claims to have season tickets. From my limited search, i have found that you typically just print the ticket and take it to nationwide arena with you. How can one purchase a pair of tickets from someone who holds season tickets and not get ripped off, scammed, whatever. I know that you can transfer tickets, but it would be pretty fucking easy to make copies.

 

Yes it can happen very easy. Don't ever just buy some tickets from someone that just hands you a printed piece of paper. Not even from a scalper. A STH should transfer the tickets to through the Jacket's Ticketmaster page. All they would need is your email account. You should receive an email from the Jackets that you will need to create a ticket account and claim the tickets. Once the tickets are claimed, the STH can't get those tickets back unless you refuse the tickets. Their STH card won't work and they can't print off more tickets for that game once you claim those tickets. Another way is just to buy tickets on the Ticketmaster ticket Exchange site.

Another for Jones Topsoil. It was the best price for what I needed plus delivery.

Wait, you bought one in San Jose, California? Or you bought one that was similarly equipped? If you bought the exact one I'm looking at, I'm going to be a sad panda lol. Either way, the only thing I'm bummed about is that it doesn't come with the 3.73 rear axle ratio.

 

No I didn't buy one in CA. I got mine right here in Columbus, so no worries. Mine sounds like it is equipped exactly the same as the one you are looking at. Honestly don't worry about the axle ratio. If you are planning on lifting it and putting bigger tires on it, you better do it right and change out the gears. If you are keeping it stock, don't worry about what gears it has.

 

Also I did get mine for $25K. Got mine "used" with less than 2,000 miles on it.

 

For those that didn't know, the Jeep Wrangler changed the engines in them in 2012. the older ones came with either a 3.7 or a 3.8 which were major dogs. In 2012, it only came with the Penstar 3.6L which is worlds above the older engines. Still a Jeep, not going to win any speed records, but it is a major upgrade. Also mpg has increased. With mixed highway and street driving, I normally see 21 mpg. Longest trip I have taken in it was from Columbus to Myrtle Beach I was getting 24 mpg all the way there.

Sounds like I just purchased exactly the JK you are looking at. Personally I love it. But I have always loved Jeeps. Probably the only bad thing I can say about it is that is isn't the fastest thing out there. Sometimes can pretty slow on the acceleration. But it is a Jeep, you don't buy them for speed. Keep in mind, you will want to mod the JK as soon as you get it. Just so many cool things you can do to them.

 

If you want a fun little sports car, go for the FRS. You want join the Jeep lifestyle, then do it.

 

Also if you have any questions, just let me know.

That is just crazy

The new Walmart in Westerville has had a decent selection when I was there last weekend. No 22lr though

That's the kind of deal I'm looking for! lol I don't mind to have a base because I intend on replacing the suspension and wheels. And it MUST be a 6 spd.

 

Good luck finding it. I know it took me about 6 months to find one for exactly the way I wanted at a good price. But just keep looking they do show up.

I just picked up my 2013 Sport S with hard top used for $25k. Had less than 2,000 miles on it and includes all factory warranties. Picked it up at a local dealership. Pretty much the Jeep I have wanted my whole life.
