Jeep fever does wear off. They will bounce the roids and kidneys right out of you. The Safari edition does look a little military.

Funny how people on your side of the pond like Jeeps, and those on this side like Defenders.

I know plenty on this side that like jeeps......

We had a jeep for a few years... Was great in the mtns, sucked for a DD though....

Ouch. That hurts.

Agreed. He does rock. Never mentioned Ted or the Amboy Dukes in the class, but it sounds like he wants to hear a report that sounds different. I will put that one into consideration as well. Thanks. :)

Yes, I know a lot of offroaders live up in Ojai. Jeeps are popular. Like the ones that look WW2 surplus.

Actually, Ojai is "down" from me most of the time. It is "up" in Thousand Oaks. I spend so much time up in SLO that I really should start calling it home.

I don't want to post this reply in that thread amongst Joe Bob and the others, but since Jim posts here too I will put it here.

So Jim, what is this I hear about pink cars not being allowed? Need I remind you that Regan drives a pink car? ;)

The WWII Surplus jeeps are miserable..... Slow...... Most of them have been welded back together.....

Flight aborted early. Weather moved in, found a couple of micro-bursts and decided to call it an afternoon.

Yeah, but for around that town it is fine. The guy I know has a son younger than me that drives one out on the trail. Not modded much. A month or so ago his car somehow ended up completely submerged in a lake. They found out a jeep full of water weighs a hell of a lot when your wheelin' buddy is trying to pull you out with his Ford Ranger.

If they'd both get real 4WDs this wouldn't be an issue.... A ranger ain't a pullin truck

Well that takes some pressure off me then. Oh, I mean too bad you couldn't fly. But you made the wise choice. Don't want to end up in the "Aftermath" section of Flying Magazine. :D

The ranger is setup pre-runner style. But hey, they got it out. That's all that matters. :D And their girlfriends had a good time apparently as they are still around.

Plus his Dad has this:

Max, today has nothing really todo with the test. :) I just need to get comfortable flying to different airports, so I can do my cross-country solo stuff. I did get my endorsement for my written and shifting schedules a bit, am aiming for Monday.

There was snow in the mountains after the storm a couple weeks ago. Here's a part of his adventures on the dirt bike:

Snow comes towards the end when he gets up into the higher elevations.

Cool. Good luck. :)

Entertain me fellas... Sitting around tonight waiting for a trauma...

Wow... You guys are heck of a lot of fun... :D

Tweeze get them to talk about guns, targets etc. That might lure them out of their men caves. :)You have got to bait the hook with the right bait.
