Replying to: randyace (Jun 05, 2005 7:00 am) Glad X has a name now - good choice! Yeah, it sucks getting your new Jeep dirty the first time(s). Fortunately, the flat windshield makes it easier to scrape off bug guts! I don't know how many of the really early "Tomster" posts you've read - say 4 years ago or so. But many of us here will recognize the really close kinship you must have with Tom, based on your dirt and bug comments! Others will elaborate more, I'm sure! We still razz him from time to time; especially after seeing his posts of Thelma Jane wedged into Buttpucker Gulch! He'll give you sage advice on keeping your Jeep in pristine condition! (I think it was a year or so before he ever got Thelma Jane off of pavement.....) You guys have to be related somehow, trust me! Enjoy eXcalibur! Gary |

My '99 Sport Wrangler has the factory hardtop...I always thought it was some form of aluminum, but the after market catalogs state that their hardtops are made of fiberglass/plastic. Are the original Jeep Wrangler hardtops also made of such material?....the jeep advertising brochures are silent on this point. Thanks....

Replying to: randyace (Jun 05, 2005 7:00 am) Off-road! Off-road!! I have had my TJ for over five years. The closest it has been to off-road was when I backed off the edge of my driveway once. You know, over five yours and the thrill is every bit as good as the day I got it. Top has been up and down about eight times so far this year. In the Chicago area, early spring can be fickle, had to put the top up mostly because it was cold, not rain. I never get tired of top down time. Terry |

Just closed a deal on a new Unlimited!!!!!!!!! HOOOO HHOOO!!!! Got a silver "H package", w/dual tops. I went in wanting a blue, but nothing was available in H package & dual tops for 300 miles. I was able to get $1,000 below invoice, w/ $2,000 in rebates... I'm pumped! Now, gotta work on getting that hoist I've been asking about, and looking into trading in my tires for some 31"s. Any suggestions on what kind of tires to look for? FYI, I'm gonna be doing mainly city driving... only taking it off-road on rare occassions. They're doing a dealer relocate for me, and I'm scheduled to pick up tomorrow night. In the meantime, I'm driving another Unlimited they had on the lot. I'll try to post pic's when I get it! Thanks everyone for all of your advice! Scott

Replying to: randyace (Jun 05, 2005 7:00 am)  You know what was the last thing that went through their minds? Their butts. You sound just like me in my early days with Thelma Jane. I used to stop at rest areas along interstates, for Pete's sake, get wet paper towels from the restrooms, and go out and wipe the bug guts off Thelma Jane's grill, hood, windshield, and windshield frame that had accumulated since the last rest stop!!! How bad is that? It took me 14 months after taking delivery of Thelma Jane before I had the courage to take her off road for the first time. Well, one time and I was hooked! I still cared about Thelma Jane's appearance, but I was willing to let her get dirty at least. After three years plus of wheelin', she has plenty of scratches and some dings, but it has been worth it for the fun of wheelin'. When I clean her up, she still looks pretty good, but she is far from pristine. Take care of Xcalibur. Tomster Have you hugged your Jeep today?

Replying to: randyace (Jun 05, 2005 7:00 am) A month or so later I took some really neat photos of a bright and still shiny GiGi up at an abandoned fire lookout tower. I have some photos posted at: http://community.webshots.com/album/219225529PBYpqi . |

For all you folks in other parts of the country - be glad you don't live in California. I paid all kinds of gas prices this weekend. Yesterday it started with $2.31 in Frazier Park. Next came $2.17 in Yermo (of all places). This was the cheapest gas I saw. Mojave was $2.29. This morning I paid $2.19 in Vegas - sure wish it that was cheap around here. The most expensive I saw was $2.94 in Baker, so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad about our prices. Also, this sort of keeps me from going out and exploring the Mojave desert - Baker is about the only place to get gas around there. |
