Two weeks have past since I purchased my first Jeep, and strange things are happening to me.

1. My poor ole 98 Dodge SST sits in the drive alot more than it use to.
It's days of ripping up pavement, and making GT's wonder how a Truck beat em off the line are fewer now.

2. I bought a 78 CJ w/ V8 and auto tranny. Needs a little engine work, but has alot of potential.

3. I'm haggling $ on a 79 CJ that has been heavily mod'ed w/ suspension / body lifts, Fiber tub, and "great big ole wheels".

4. Wife got mad at me for driving over a parking lot barrier, instead of driving around.

5. I think about rock rails, lift kits, skids, and will stock tires get me through a 3 rated trail?, more than I think about low ET's, narrowed rear ends, and trying not to red light.

Is thing normal Jeep behavior?
