Actually, she recently found out how much it was worth and was surprised because of how high the number was. I said "That's because it doesn't have any miles on it."

I used you, ThunderbirdJunkie, myself, Vicki, my friend Jasmine, and you as examples and she couldn't believe how many miles you guys had.

She used to work a whole 3 miles from home. I've always worked... way more than that from home, and it has never left the state of Michigan except for a couple trips to Chicago.

My Jeep has left the state... uh many times.

As much as I pay in insurance, I want my money's worth!

They make the kit to open them up but yeah from the factory still fake

I read the Tom Petty before I left to go out to do a review today and on the way there I was like "wait what ? Tom Petty" and busted out laughing
How much room is there in the back of yours? I need enough to haul my Step father back in whatever I buy

in the mail today :BANANA:

NATO 20 Litre Jerry Can
with spout and extra gaskets
now to build a barcket to hold it :pepper:

Ted15 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2012 5:48 pm

They sell them but they're not cheap. Where'd you find a NATO can. All the places I looked said they're no longer being imported because of some bull doo doo DOT regulation or child safety thing. I've heard both reasons. Looks REAL good by the way.

Look for Deutsche Optik 49.00 for the can, spout is 24, 4 extra gaskets are 13.
They had the company that always made the Jerry cans do a run for them.
Of course to meet "government requirements " it is stamped on the can "not for gas"
But it is a gas can and can be used as one, by the time I am done with it no one will know when it was made or what it has printed on it.
:wink:

I looked at all of the approved containers and they all had issues with leaking etc so went this route.

Oh and if my wife was here that would just be one pair of shoes for her, so actually I am more than likley money ahead

and if you order 4 they are cheaper or were

Think I am going with the Adventure Trailers carrier like the style and looks of them, 100 bucks but WTH :ROTFL:

Ted15 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:43 pm

That's a pretty good price for the can. I've seen them as high as $150, if you could find one. I guess I didn't look hard enough but it was kinda last minute and rushed. Detours offered up that bad booty Knucklebone and I couldn't resist. Too bad though, I've been kicking around the idea of a pair of bumpers with the rear having a receiver. As it turned out, my crossmember got bent a little and I may have it replaced along with a steel winch bumper, just a thought. It's really not bad though, I could leave it go. Just enough to push the backbone bolts against the crossmember.

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:53 pm

Steel bumper time
I see one or possibly two in your future
Look deeply into the crystal ball and you will see them as well!

Ted15 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2012 8:45 pm

MAYBE but I still need sliders and a safari rack and let's not forget lights and maybe lockers. I've heard tru tracs are pretty good.

yodejt02 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2012 10:04 pm

lots of room in the back once you get there.....and that is the problem with the coopers, the seats don't leave enough room for an adult to gracefully find the back seat. Now the countryman is four dour comes in an all wheel drive version and has a turbo with good fuel economy. My wife is thinking about getting one. We are going on a test drive down in Indy in a few weeks to see how they drive.

$110 now for the Adventure holder :shock:

Super easy to make, just shake some steel loose from Larry and we'll get it done :twisted:

Make sure to buy a stack of cut off wheels :5SHOTS:

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2012 10:09 pm

I need to look at the 4 doors in them
Thats the issue with the cars I want, my 84 year old step Father would never be able to get back out of any of them! :lol:

So have to buy a 4 door :banghead:

Let me know what you think of them when you try one out
Drove a Cruize and Malibu tonight , Cruize was a 6 speed sort of peppy with the turbo plus over 40 mpgs

So ya forgot about the Volt is or is that one still in the running?
:POPCORN:

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Apr 06, 2012 11:10 am

The Volt
nah never was in the running

I think a horse with an Amish buggy will work better
take a few days to get down home but will give me time to think about things along the way

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Fri Apr 06, 2012 4:10 pm

Cruze and Malibu are both boring.

I'd rather have a Focus or Fusion.
