    A Chevy owner would have plowed through there in five minutes 
    I didn't think it relevant to mention (till now) it was an off-road 101 class, we were in a line of about 12 vehicles, mostly Jeeps & a couple Tacomas, thus the slowness; the instructor was up front in an LJ & we were all in line listening to him by walkie talkie.  Was only my second time off-road & figured it'd be a good idea to learn some stuff the easy way before going much further...

    But I have to ask, is your snarky ass comment meant to suggest that a Jeep is incapable of "plowing through there in five minutes", or that Chevy owners are more predisposed to spending 3 hours cleaning mud & crud from every crevice of their ride afterwards?  If I were a bettin man I'd say you're just a fvcking douchebag
    Please come to Atlanta and run your mouth like that. Delta's ready when you are. I'll show you what Zippylip means.
    let me guess, you'll "drop me where I stand", another internet tough guy; thanks for the confirmation. 

    "Delta's ready when you are" hahaha, f'in tool
    Come find out big boy 
    let me get this straight, your brilliant suggestion is that I buy a plane ticket, fly down to Atlanta, meet you in what, a parking lot or field somewhere so you can, what, shoot me from a bush that, surprise, is really you in cammo?  Or, perhaps you'll fall out of a tree on top of me Rambo style & stab me in the neck?  Maybe a good old-fashioned fist fight? 

    Jesus man here's (apparently) a news flash, the American penitentiary system is busting at the seems with fools like you. 

    Grow up you fool.
    Nothing needed to stomp a mud hole in you. I've got frequent flier miles...

    You're a big talker until somebody calls your punk ass out. 
    "Stomp a mud hole into me" hahaha that's priceless, guessing since you're not in a cage with the other animals you're nothing but pure talk

    We put a sticker on my male friends car that read, "Cowboys butts drive me nuts!". He was less than enthused when he found it.

    My dad's friend put a, "honk if you're not gay" sticker on his wife's car without her knowing. She couldn't figure out why everyone was honking at her.

    Man, this got REAL interesting after I quit paying attention. Anyway, ended up with a 2007 JK with black rims and 33" tires. Soft top with only 40k original miles. Looked practically new top and bottom. I love it and, just as I suspected, I really needed it.

    Bought it July 3rd and have put it through its paces all over the mountains, fields, streams  of NC. They have a great forum too. Thanks for the nudge @Zippylip

    Ive had three jeeps, a CJ7, Sahara and first generation rubicon.  All inline six cyl, all soft tops, all stick shift.   Wish i kept all three.   The rubicon would go just about anywhere, snow, mud, rocks and sand never stopped it.  

    I also had a scout and that thing was pretty cool...wish i still had that too!

    @Zippylip , check the front ball joints for play.  Maybe where the midget is hiding.

    Don't let the guys get you up in arms.  Full size chevy drivers are the types that keep getting public lands closed to off-roaders.

    I have owned a few Jeeps in my life. Loved every one of them. Spent tons of money on each, keeping them mobile. Likely to do it again, if I survive our son's college carrer.

    yup, aint cheap that's for sure.  I'm done with the college subsidies so it's not too bad.  Wrapped up the off-road classes a few weeks ago & the last few modifications I thought were appropriate so now it's all about keeping it operational & upgrading whatever breaks.

    Uh, no.  The wife didn't like it, that's one reason I sold it,the other I was tired of it and replacing axle shafts.

    D35 shafts by any chance, they seem to snap most often?  That was a nice XJ you had, seems like most of the guys I wheel with drive those.

    Just dropped mine off at the shop, slip yoke eliminator developed at leak at the shaft, was shooting ATF all over the place - not sure what happened there but I noticed it after a long day bouncing around on rocks, musta jarred it loose.  Put in 4 skids this summer & giving them all a workout.  Build, drive, break, repair, repeat.  I heard that before I got into this, now I see it

    Off and on over the years, I have thought I wanted a Jeep. Actually, that's not quite accurate - I have always wanted a Jeep, from when I was a kid and saw the ads in Boy's Life where you could supposedly buy Army surplus Jeeps in a crate full of Cosmolene coated parts and build your own. 50 bucks or some such. "Some assembly required". =)

    Never bought one, crated or otherwise, in large part because every time I thought about it, I would hear yet another story like yours. "Just dropped mine off at the shop..." or "break, repair, repeat." 

    My son was recently looking for a new car and mentioned Jeep as one of his possibilities. I advised against it just because of all the stories. He bought something else. 

    But I still want a Jeep. :confused::rofl:

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    well, yea, that's all logical & whatnot but life is short & the runway is getting shorter every day - can't take it witcha

    Ask yourself this, do you want to recapture that feeling you haven't had since you were maybe 7 rolling a toy truck around in a mud pit with smile from ear to ear & a little pee hard-on to match?  Buy a Jeep

    Yes it was a D35. I was wanting to put chromoly axle shafts in it, but wife said know sell it.  I found a D44 after I souls it from another XJ for cheap, but to late.  I am thinking of looking at a Jeep in a few years after I get tired of my F150.
