I got my first KJ in 2002 and have never been without one since then. BUT......my KJ is in the body shop now, dropped it off this morning! I got the shakes already! So I put a picture of her on the computer screen to ease the pain. :cry: There is a guy up the street that has one. Maybe I should go steal it for a joy ride...but it's a 2X2! Any suggestions on how I can get through this horrible time in my life?

Terry

THE OTHER.. omg i saw it like.. out of the corner of my eye.. i think it was black, and it had an aftermarket roof basket with hellas or something, like 5 of them, 3 on the bottom 2 on the top kind of deal, it looked really RIGGED out! i wish i had saw it more directly, at first i thought it was OHV-KJ but out of the corner of my eye it didn't really seem SFA'ed and gigantic :lol:

Now that solar-powered flashlight was a wise investment, seeing as how it has a 200mah charge rate and a 1800mah battery that is charged by the solar panel.

ThunderbirdJunkie isn't dumb, he's just ecologically responsible :shock:

hey Terry,

maybe this will make you feel better:

i talked to heather yesterday to see where my lift was and she said it will be another week before they even mail it out.....great after i already took the kj apart and the only wheels i have do not work well without the lift....i can only drive it straight.... :shock: .....otherwise there is major rubbing.

It should only be in the shop a few days. The bumper is fine. There is a bent piece that goes across the front that needs to be replaced, both turn signals and not much else. Okay..........2X2 = 2 wheel drive.......I know, I know. :lol: I can't see any reason to test drive a KK when my KJ is better even when in a body shop! :twisted: :lol:

I did go down this morning to visit her. She cried like a little girl. It was really sad to see that! I'm getting the jitters under control with the help from a couple of friends of mine: Jack Daniels, I.W. Harper and Jim Beam.

Don't feel too bad, it's confusing sometimes. I have a friend that owns an 8x8 (it's a military vehicle from the Soviet-era, a missile launcher) that he takes wheeling from time to time.

Maybe you should go "test drive" an FJ Cruiser... and go over the curb with it a few times.
