8 against the KK
2 for it
looks like it will not be Chris' next ride,
well at work but thats all :wink:

Wow. I like the new 2011+ Steering wheel. I wish I had it, it feels great... to me.

The shifter does take a bit to get used to, and they included the worst feeling shift knob known to mankind. Glad I got rid of mine. :lol:

The 4WD switch works... which means it's fine with me.

If you think KK seats are hard, ride in an '05-'07 KJ.

I know, I know for a Jeep
now if it was just a Bowtie :ROTFL:

actually looked at a Bowtie model yesterday, test drove it and all, liked it somewhat , think it would make a nice DD and cheap transportation but.... Well actually test drove a Camaro and a HHR, still thinking.
The KJ is not going anywhere but just need a new toy to play with before I get stupid and start cutting this one up just to have something to do! :ROTFL:

Now I didn't say it. You Jeep does look good, I just hate ours. I don't like working on it and it is truely one of the worse riding vehicles we've had. Maybe some new shocks/Front springs all around will cure it( no lift, I know that's the tru fix :jester:

). I drove it yesterday over some speed bumps, the front was squeaking horribly like all the bushings are shot or something...wife tells me, it sounds like that all the time. Now she tells me. She also said it sounds like a grinding when she turns, but I cannot get it to do it. Looks like some new shocks/alignment on the "to do" list.

Tom, while camaro's are super cool, not sure if I would want one for a DD, okay, yes I would.
My coworker has an SS/RS totally loaded, she drives it almost everyday, unless weather is bad, htne she drives hubby's Yukon. I think the HHR's would be under powered for my tastes, but that's me.

Woke up to dog diarrhea all over the kitchen... what a way to start out a monday :dizzy:

Who's the 03CDKJ person? :goink:

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Oct 24, 2011 9:01 am

Yes the camaro would be more of a fair weather toy for sure not a DD and the HHR is/was way underpowered for sure. I just wanted to drive one to see what it was like , felt like I was in a cave or something
Back to looking for a 65 Chev. Station wagon :wink:

or early to mid 70s van

I hate:
No oh-sh!t handles in front
The steering wheel
The auto shifting mechanism
The electronic 4x4 switch or the hill decent
No overdrive button on the shifter
The seats are hard as hell
The rear sticks out too far(almost ripped off the rear bumper crossing a ditch today)
Window controls not in the center

I do like
the buttons on the steering wheel....cruise etc...
and the center consol where the AC/Radio/and vents
That's about it.... :lol:

More stuff I don't like....
The lights automatically come on when you put on the windshield wipers.. Even if just for a second... So all of the dash lights are flashing bright and dim.... STUPID!
The Key/Key fob.... I like them seperate.
The rear window wiper... stops 8 inches too short..

Spare under the jeep... BRILLIANT! :roll:

The Jack in the rear cargo area... If the Jeep is loaded... you have to take 1/3 of the stuff out to get to the jack

More I like..
The rear cargo plastic flippy thing for muddy stuff... :lol:

The color of the guages at night....
and the temperature display in the gauge cluster....

Woke up to pile # 2 this morning, I'm gonna be one less dog pretty soon!!! Wished I could figure out which one is doing it, he'd be sleeping outside :banghead:

Nothing like waking up to a hot pile of steamin dog poo. Our dogs get gated in the den where we have pergo flooring and its easier to clean up. Last time they had an accident inside the house was on the carpet...within 24 hours of buying our own steam cleaner and running it for the first time. Apparently the dog didn't like the results of the cleaning and made some adjustments for us.

Megalos · **Posted:** Tue Oct 25, 2011 9:51 am

BTW....Been reading but not posting much if at all.

Tom...the Rims look great...similar to my renny rims in styling now

Chris...good to see you're still running around out there...still in the pole inspecting business?

Hart... :goink:

If anyone is interested, I might (MIGHT) go a different direction with hood ventilation and MIGHT be willing to part with my GTP louvers with drip trays if anyone is interested. Maybe.

Otherwise, I've fought 2 sinus infections in the last 4 weeks...may need surgery on them again :BANANA:

My boy is growing up fast and keeping me on my toes. Amazing what a little kid can get into in the blink of an eye.

I hope everyone is well and I'll try to see if I can make the lift party in November.

Reserved a 20' U-haul truck for the weekend. Trying to get this old house packed up but not seeming to make a lot of headway!! :evil:

Trying to do it all since my wife can't help with her bad back. Hope I get everything ready by Saturday morning! :banghead:

I'm sure the furniture and big stuff will be moved but I'll still be moving smaller boxes for another 2 weeks!! Starting to feel overwhelmed :dizzy:

21years worth of crap in this house and I don't think half of it is even worth moving!! :furious:

I've got 1 whole bedroom packed with stuff from the kids that I told them I'm not moving! If they come for it, fine, if not ........ it goes to the curb!!!!

So um, backpay from June 9, 2010.

This is gonna be one major paycheck.

I wonder what I should do with it?

Be responsible or buy something for the Jeep?

Whatsayyouguys?

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Oct 25, 2011 2:40 pm

BE RESPONSIBLE!!!!!

with half of it!
The other half is Jeep money!!! :pepper:

I heard it passed and the new hires would do pretty good in the new contract

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:37 pm

Will do, Tom. Already got a plan for the responsible side.

TAHOE · **Posted:** Wed Oct 26, 2011 9:01 am

What's gonna suck for you Marlon, if they give it to you in one big check, Uncle Sam is going to take more out of it. They did that to some guys at my plant 2 years agao when they layed off 35% of the people here, they were expecting a big check, din't get as much. Granted you will get it on the back end when you file taxes....hopefully.

So, wifey calls me this morning, say Libby is trying to stall on her when it shifts gears and when she slows down. Started running fine though after 2-3 miles when it got warmer.....TPS needing replaced?
I'm going to hit Advance or my neighbor's scanner tonight and see what codes it's throwing.

yeah, no dog poop this morning.....I heard him at 3 am whining so out he went :mrgreen:
