This is an open invitation to all you Jeep Buds. If you can somehow get yourselves over to western KY, I would be honored to serve as your trail guide at Turkey Bay. I would love to see you guys who have never been off road learn what your Jeeps are capable of doing. But, even if you are a seasoned off roader, I would still enjoy meeting you and wheelin' with you at Turkey Bay. Turkey Bay is just about the perfect place for people to wheel Jeeps that are stock or near stock. There are some fun obstacles that won't tear up your Jeep, and there is some really nice scenery. The Kentucky Lake area has attractions for the whole family. There is horseback riding, a planetarium, a buffalo and elk range, fishing, camping, and a nice water park to name a few. Wherever you go wheelin', a local guide who knows where all the fun spots are and where the places to stay away from are makes all the difference in the world. I'm that guy when it comes to Turkey Bay. No, I don't guide for money. It's just something I enjoy. If you have a good time and want to buy my dinner, I might let ya do that.  I firmly believe that if you drove 8 hrs to get there for just one full day of wheelin', you would say it was well worth it. Tomster Have you hugged your Jeep today? This pic shows the Old Tomster and Ross Allen taking Thelma Jane through a fun little spot that flexes the suspension pretty good. All the weight of the Jeep is on the right front and left rear tires, and she was actually teetering. If you could see the left front, you would see that the axle is fully drooped on that side, with the tire off the ground.

Replying to: tsjay (Jun 03, 2005 7:25 pm) Well, I appreciate your frankness! Althought I'm deeply hurt at the thought I have no literary imagination  (Kidding, of course). I, too, wanted something synomous with the "X", but as you say, choices are limited. Now I've come up with "X-Rated" ....and if you want to read anything into that with respect to my, um....choice of fine art films...who am I to stop you???!!! By the way....mine is coming with the 7-additional speaker soundbar, which I've not read much about. Any thoughts as to this being a nice/cool option? Thanks....Hope everyone's Saturday is safe and tops down! Randy |

Amanda, Sounds like you're burning the computer-file-type songs to the CD. What you have to do is burn the CD as an "Audio CD". This will limit you to 12-15 tracks, as that file type takes a BUNCH more space on the disc. Then, your burning program will "finish" the disc out as an audio CD. Newer players can usually handle a "folder"-style CD with a bunch of WMA, MP3, WMV, or whatever on it, but older players are a no-go. Just look in your burning software's help files for "make an audio CD". Sorry, I'm a professional nerd, so I couldn't resist...

Replying to: randyace (Jun 04, 2005 5:45 am) I believe Jeeps, just like Ships, should have female names. I am quite the enlightened guy in all other areas, but male names just sound weird to me for vehicles. In high school, my best friend had a really nice black and chrome Chevy truck that was named "Roxanne". I thought that was the coolest thing ever, but I WAS only 17 at the time. Hasn't anyone seen Gone in Sixty Seconds? Tell me seriously that Eleanor wasn't the coolest name in the world for a Mustang!? With these miscellaneous ramblings complete, let me humbly suggest a couple: Xandra, Xzandra, Xara, Xena...Any of the Baby-Names sites should have a decent list. I like the old-fashioned type especially.  Tomster, I think you might get the nod for coolest name I've seen yet. Thelma Jane is great! I haven't seen them all yet though, as I'm brand new to this board...

Replying to: randyace (Jun 04, 2005 5:45 am) eXcellent (sorry, couldn't help it...) choice on the 7-speaker system. It's the one option I didn't do that I think I really missed. My center console has the cut-out and fake grille on the side where the subwoofer would be. I just have the four-speaker and CD standard radio. I must admit, I'm already sneaking looks at adding in the better stereo or that MOPAR rear sound kit (does it suck? does anyone have it?). I'm not a hip-hop guy, so huge bass isn't an issue, but I sure would like some more clear sound. |

Replying to: buckminster3 (Jun 04, 2005 6:40 am) RoXanne....that has a nice ring to it. (did I say that already??). Tom--thanks for the info on the soundbar. I'm not "hip-hop" either, but hey...I still love the Eagles and anything George Harrison....I suppose Hotel California would "roX" (heh heh) down the highway (oooohh...Doobie Brothers, too). Accessorizing is everything....does anyone have their Wrangler's name in script or block letters anywhere on the vehicle (like on a boat's stern)? I was thinking perhaps unobtrusive vinyl lettering in quotes would look pretty cool. Thoughts, anyone? Randy
