What model? Wranglers are noisy and rough riding along with being useful for dragging trees around ones property and nearly as much fun as a Russian motorcycle.

We got a 4 dr wrangler. We live near the Gulf and we want to drive those sandy roads to the more remote beaches. The wranglers truly are noisy and busy on the highway, but we can use my truck for road trips. We have a lot of high water on our little highway from the tides, a few times per month and the jeep will help with that.

Just remember, a clean Jeep is an unloved Jeep.
So show it some love.

Cheesy...
Why is the top on your Jeep? There is a country song, “Take it Off”!
It’s a Jeep Thing!

I didn't actually buy these. These showed up at the house Friday afternoon thanks to a generous fellow member with a few extra goodies wrapped inside. Had the stock turn signals and chain inside the stock Hawk tires. Thanks Dan-O. This is how to properly ship tires. That's one he'll of a wrapping job.
Ps: damn near got me in trouble with the wife trying to explain that I didn't buy them.

Today I bought 2 plain hotdogs for a buck and 12 cents at Sheetz. it's all I could do today...but at least despite the cold start to the ride (28 degrees when I pulled out of the driveway),I rode for several hours (including 25 miles up the interstate just to see how cold it really was,LOL! :P )
IALMOST bought a 2017 RX3,but the first place I called for financing said no (something about having bought a new CFR250L back in April,so they wanted a considerable percentage down pmt on it,which I don't have). Waiting until tomorrow for 1 more place out of 2 that I called to call back. I can't really afford it right now apparently (note that I was saving for an RX3 when I bought the CRFL,but a deal I couldn't pass on it as a new leftover '16 came and I jumped....still want and RX3 though ),but the email Sale flyer I got from CSC has me drooling and scheming on how to pull it off

We find out tomorrow if we are bringing home a 2016 Kia Soul for the wife. I got my Avenger back in april and the dealership suggested coming back in 6 months to see if we could get something for her. Hence how we even ended up vehicle shopping at all today. A part of todays convo also involved the idea of trading in the Avenger in a couple months to get a better interest rate and upgrade again myself...but...not really feeling that idea. I think i may just stick it out with that car as i quite like it.

A hunnert turdy bucks worth of gas. Towing the Desoto resulted in about 10mpg.

Which? The DeSoto or the pickup? Pickup is usually around 18 when I'm not pulling a 2000lb trailer with a 4000 lb car on it. The DeSoto will run about 15 but has about the same size tank as my Wrangler, so the range will be under 250 miles.
