Fuel gauge does not work. I drive this daily to work, she has been a very dependable jeep for me. I bought her to restore and just don't have the space or time to do everything I want to do. KBB does not list older than 1986 on their site. NADA lists it as a classic car, it is eligible for collectors plates. NADA Average retail is $5873. She is dependable mechanically, body and hood are in fair condition for its age and the asking price is appropriate for a fun and reliable classic vehicle. Ready for snow, mud or sun! Pics show old tires and wheels, I added a shot of the new tires and wheels. More pictures and details available upon request.

  2. I pm'd ya about the truck. If you get pics please send them to mitch531@gmail.com
  3. I've used lexol on the grand and have been happy with it. I got mine at the andersons, but I have seen it at autozone. The leather cleaner is very useful, you wouldn't believe the dirt it pulled out of my seemingly clean seats. Zaino makes some leather stuff as well. Its supposed to leave a strong leather scent. Normally, I'm one of the guys who thinks Sal can do no wrong. Its not too expensive, but I didn't want to pay shipping for just one thing and didn't need any Z2 at the time. I was going to try it but got a good deal on the lexol locally.
  4. Chuck Norris has already been to Mars, thats why there are NO signs of life there. Don't make him go to the Dagobah system.
  5. http://www.tirerack.com It even lets you pick the color of your car.
  6. Here's a pretty good (but really long) article on what its like in the car sales business http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/articles/42962/article.html?tid=edmunds.a.landing.feature..3.* I worked at a jeep dealership in sales for three months. I wouldn't do it again. The thing I hated the most was the customers. They treated you like dirt because of the negative stigma associated with being "dirty car salesman" They would lie to you more often than tell the truth. No matter what you would say they would think it was a lie. You will spend most of your day waiting for your "up", your turn to help a customer, and they're not serious about buying, just kicking tires and telling you stories about the car they used to have, or that their friend has or whatnot. You finally get someone serious and get them inside and run numbers to find out they planned on having a $100 payment on a vehicle thats $30 grand and of course no money down and they are upside down on their trade. This comes after they hold you over from your lunch time and waste 3 hours of your afternoon. Being at a luxury dealership does not mean you are any better off pay wise. You often make more profit on used sales anyway, but there are a lot of spiffs on the new sales. Bottom line, you work hard long hours, get treated like shit, under pressure to make sales from the sales managers. Some months you make good money other months you make what amounts to minimum wage. It wasn't my idea of fun, but you might like it.
  7. So, any supplements you guys would recommend from experience. I was looking at NO-xplode and Muscle milk. I put in moderate cardio and moderate weights 5 days a week, but I want to get more serious about it.

    Red Baron

    he's right, here's what I found. The Red Baron's Fokker Dr-1--Number 425/17: Introduced in late 1917, the Dr.l had not only three wings but a supplementary airfoil on the undercarriage. These features enabled the diminutive plane (length: 18 feet, 11 inches; wingspan: 23 feet. 7 inches) to outclimb and out-turn almost any contemporary Allied aircraft. But the small engine, an Oberursel of only 110 horsepower, limited top speed to 103 miles per hour. Nevertheless, in a dogfight a skilled aviator flying the agile triplane usually enjoyed the advantage. He could evade pursuit by turning tightly, and once on his quarry's tail, he could rarely be shaken off except by a high-speed dive. If the duel dipped to treetop level, an Allied pilot had only one course of escape: to zigzag away as fast as his plane would fly. Any attempt to turn or to climb merely closed the distance between him and the Fokker's guns.
  9. that's f'in great. Most people have no idea what its like to climb. (my only experience is indoors on a wall and I know how hard it is on an overhang nice to have a little friend there, no pun intended)
  10. Hospitals are hotbeds of promiscuity. Straight male nurses have their pick of hot, head nurses
  11. TRBOvan is REALLY good. fast, good shipping, fair prices and an all around good guy. Can't say enough good about him. I gave him an idea of what I wanted and he reproduced it perfectly from my description.
  12. Agreed. My sister and brother in law are both RN's and doing quite well for themselves. The baby boomers ain't getting any younger and a person with nursing experience is invaluable. Yeah they put up with a lot of shit, but if you can bring in 100k a year, it would be real easy to forget everything that bitch said as you shift into fifth in your porsche, mercedes, bmw or Z06
  13. any bike trades considered? Maybe a trade for a sleeper street bike and cash? That way you will have something very agile on the street and great for longer rides? Lemme know
  14. are you using it for hardcore racin or wanting to be the best you can get for your own pleasure/use? I have been happy with the performance given the price point at the LX level. Each pound off the bike is going to be nearly 1000 bucks.
  15. http://www.cofba.org Plenty of local help with heads, cams and other goodies there.
  16. Southeast Ohio, twisties? Well its some of the best turns north of the tail of the dragon. Hocking hills or triple nickel, the routes are knuts.

    Jeep Srt8

    Your local jeep dealer is taking orders now!!! That is the first jeep ever produced where lowering it would be...moderately acceptable in certain social situations. I would have rather seen jeep make a WK rubicon edition, with front and rear lockers, and 31's, but I'm just joe redneck, what do I know.
  19. Paintball Ohio on sawmill is within walking distance of my place. anyone know if they stock an assortment of softair guns of better quality than galyans, which are mostly the spring loaded type?
  20. top gear attempted repeatedly to destroy a toyota and had little success. Consequentially, I would buy a toyota 4x4 in a heartbeat. ( to haul my dirtbike)
  21. You wouldn't want her to get athletes foot would you?
  22. Thats what I was thinking too. It REALLY pissed me off that NascarTV, uh I mean SPEED didn't televise it this year. In that race you usually don't come back from an off track excursion.
