First trip off-road in the Jeep.

Not too crazy but fun.

You get less than 15 mpg in your 911, you must drive it like you stole it, which is as it should be

What sort of tire pressures are you running when you do that?

Nice.

I went from wheeling a 97 TJ lifted on 33's to wheeling a stock 02 Jeep Liberty. So far the Liberty has smoked some mildly built TJ's.

I only watched the first 1:20...can't stand that rap krap music. Man, if only they'd learn more than 2 chords...

1 extra chord, they'd have three . . . and it'd be ROCK AND ROLL, baby!

Thats Rage Against the Machine. I never heard of them referred to as rap before. Very political lyrics. I kind of dig them, it makes for good workout music.

BTW - hammer, fun video, I love taking my FJ off road when I get the time and place all at once. Not much of it here if Florida but up in near my house in NC there is Tellico Plains and its a lot of fun.

Don't take any passengers unless you REALLY trust them. I'm still learning from that mistake.

Here we go...

SloDave,
I miss SoCal almost everyday. Although alot has taken place within the company I work for that makes me MUCH happire to be here with the mother ship.

rtoms,
Jeeps get bad gas mileage. Nice YJ.

Jared Fenton,
I run about 15 PSI in all four.

PWD72,
Just turn off the music and watch the video, it's worth it.

Jim Cesiro,
Thanks.

porsche930dude,
Sweet! Love the trailer.

Can't you just mute your PC and fire up that old phonograph I know you have and listen to "County line" or something while you watch it?

Don't have an old phonograph...I do have a linear tracking 1980's turntable...hooked to some other stuff.
