Bought a new Toy today :steer: Also sold the Heep :bounce:

Now that it is officially sold, I can finally fess up to owning a Cherokee since we bought it new for my wife in 2000 (I suppose that makes it a girl's four wheeler.) What can I say, even Luke's father was tempted by the Dark Side and it proved to be his undoing.

Fortunately, I eventually remembered my past LandCruiser, HiLux and Mini-Truck experiences from 20-40 years past and rejoined the good side a few years ago when I bought my Tan 40. Selling the Cherokee is like having a divorce where you get all the good stuff, all of your freedom and most of the $ instead of the other way around. I never realized how much I really hated her at the end until she was finally gone. :D. Oddly enough, I lost my first 40 in a divorce in the 70's, but I was able to buy it back when the ex realized it wasn't any more civilized than I was. I do still have a soft spot for her..........the smurf blue '74, that is.
 
Got a job, should have some money to blow on cruiser now!!!

Congratulations!

New Toys for Me!

Seeing a lot of the threads on mud really makes me want to go the minimalist route with 80, high clearance simple armor that I will do myself, so my next purchases will be more tool oriented not necessarily bolt on. Probably a welder and some cut off tools!!! I like chopped 80s also but I think I will wheel it till its crushed then go that route! I really want to go with 37s, so I will be posting up the duratracs for sale here shortly I hope and probably the arb for cheap since it has dent in wing now. We shall see how much time I have and ambition! I don't know about everyone else but I want spring here! Have a good weekend all.
