Way to go, Laura!
 
I've been wanting to get over to Coal Creek sometime, so maybe we can hook up there. Think you might want to make a trip to Turkey Bay sometime?

Have you hugged your Jeep today?

I have thought about it a few times and am trying to think ahead to when I have a free weekend ... I would love to come up there sometime.

And yes she has been hugged (even though she doesn't have a name)

Flying through mud and water and spraying it everywhere can be fun, but preface it by driving through slowly first. Sometimes it can either be (a), deeper than it looks, and /or (b), concealing a large rock or something similar.
 
Hitting either of those at speed can be entertaining for onlookers but not for you!
 
(Couldn't tell if it was the same ones you'd already been through slowly from your post, so I thought I'd pass on the tip anyway).

What to Do????? by jeepem

I put an order for a 05 Unlimited in early May. It was too late, they stopped taking orders. My sales guy found another one, but I just found out yesterday that it was classified as "Z status", which he states is b/c either it fell off the truck or something is REALLY wrong with it (or it was sold by mistake....) Anyway, now I am SOL right now. I have the chance to get a Chrysler employee discount on one, so I really wanted it.
 
There are no more Unlimiteds with the options I want (manual, both tops, ....). So I told him i'll pick up my deposit on monday. I got to thinking about other models, but I don't want to get something that I'll regret later. I never drove the Sport or X, only the unlimited, and the price b/w a sport and unlimited is ~$500.
 
What would everyone recommend? I "could" wait until next year and get a 2006, but it may never happen then b/c of the discount. Is the Sport a pretty good model or will I regret getting it and not waiting for the unlimited?
 
I miss my Jeep......

Yeah, like the Macster said, Laura, be careful about water holes, creek crossings, and mud holes. If you suck water into your engine, that could be the end of that engine.
 
Wonder how the dude came out that posted a while back that his engine had ingested some water? He never did post and let us know, did he?
 
Also, Laura, even though Jeeps are tough, too much playing in water and mud can mean some parts will have a shorter life than normal.

Oh, Tomster, you're really rolling today!! Now that's one I hadn't thought of. Don't know why....at my age, it seems appropriate...ahem.....
 
I've been to Kentucky several times; alas, just passing through. Beautiful, beautiful state. Nothing more I'd love than to have a caravan of Wranglers to pay you a visit. Been there, done that when I was immortal and rode a motorcycle. When I was in the Air Force at my last station (Air Force Academy), a friend and I drove our Goldwings to Austin, Texas...1002 miles driveway to driveway...nonstop. That's another story, but I truly came to understand what truckers mean by white line fever....half the trip I don't even remember due to "zoning out".
 
(By the way...my ID, randyace, is originally from a forum for Honda Shadow ACE 750. Thus, "ace"!)
 
It's nearly 8:00 central time here, and I think I'm going to experience some star-lit driving in a few minutes....I've only been out in the garage to ogle at the X oh, several dozen times in the past 3 hours.....

Do an appraisal to get a baseline price. Everyone else can chip in about their local prices and the value of the mods (although mods usually don't add much value to a used car, but then again, a Jeep isn't a car).
 
Check out Jeep Wrangler: Prices Paid & Buying Experience too.
