My Not So New, Not So Beater Winter Vehicle
 

I've had this beast since Feb. and finally have time to post pics. It's replacing my 400,000+KM Accord that I've had for 2.5 yrs. Best $450.00 car I ever bought, but time to move on.

Really I hope to keep this on the road during the summer for camping trips, work horse and fun in the mud.

First if it's going to the scappers, abuse it!! Block the rears and see if the ol' Auto tranny will hold. Oh and spray paint/hamer the ---- out of it too!

And just some shots on the trail. Only gone out 2x (Other the playing around down by the river at my parnets). The only close place to me is actually a swap, so you have to stay on trail other wise you literailly won't come back!!! And thes are snowmobile trails that they close down with cement blocks but every one finds ways around. Normally I'm the only Jeep/Truck out there and it's just littered with ATVs.

The wife trying to look like she's having fun. Had to go off trail a little to get a round a fallen tree, but had to back all the way out because it go too tight.

Came to a water crossing, ATVs have done it so why can't I?

Got to the point where the oil pan and header was under water and the wife made me back out because she didn't want to get dirty, not winch, just good ol' come-along and Hi-Jack. The front did sink it alot, really mucky, and no rock base, just pure farmer's feild run-off mud.

Just a fun mud hole. Trust, it's ALOT deeper then it looks. The last watery part is frame deep on the jeep, straight pedal to the floor to keep the treads clean!!

Nice.. Jeeps are superior to all other "off road" vehicles as far as I'm concerned. Keep that unimog ---- out of here. I love the 4.0L inline-6, those things pack a serious punch.

Re: My Not So New, Not So Beater Winter Vehicle
 

Hahaha the words of someone who has never tried to drive a jeep ON the road. Lol.

Re: My Not So New, Not So Beater Winter Vehicle
 

Are you kidding? The first thing I ever drove was a 4.0L Cherokee.

Re: My Not So New, Not So Beater Winter Vehicle
 

Poor accord :(

nice jeep though

Re: My Not So New, Not So Beater Winter Vehicle
 

My jeep is fairly Civil and EXTREMEly comfortable on the inside. The seats are perfectly matched for my size. The only shitty part is my head brushes the roof, but I'm 6'6". For a 16yr old chassis, biggers tires, simi-wore balljoint(so the shop who safetied it told me) and raised up, it rides nice. I even drive it around with the sway bar disconnected and it handles alright.

Re: My Not So New, Not So Beater Winter Vehicle
 

Oh it was done for, Needed Axles, Balljoints, tie-rods, tires, exhaust, windsheild. Needless to say the 450.00 car depreciated to 0.00 wasn't worth the parts

Re: My Not So New, Not So Beater Winter Vehicle
 

I love it. :y Better get the sawzall out if you want to run 35's. :P

All I am saying is that 4.0 = gutless worm on a real road due to heavy/bricklike jeep madness. It's sweet offroad though. :6

Re: My Not So New, Not So Beater Winter Vehicle
 

Sweetness. I can't wait for this summer. Two weekends from now we're installing a 4 inch lift, swaybar disconnects, and 33 inch badass tires on my friends wrangler. I'm still trying to get him to buy a locker of some sort and a winch. He only has the 2.4 though. Mayber next summer on the 4.0l swap :l
