lexluthier72 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Today, it just sort of happened, I was cruising along on the freeway, and despite all the work it needs and all its quirks, and faults...I was just really content in owning an MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 You sir have officially entered "Good Dude" status among us MJ owners. Welcome, you are appreciated! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexluthier72 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 I do remember going through minor issues and being very frustrated with it when I first got it. Thinking the constant repair may never end. It then occurred to me I had not worked on it in a few months.... :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The last time I bonded with my MJ was when it slipped of the jack and caught my head between the brake drum and cement floor. Fortunately I have extra brake drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backdraft Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 My car is my primary means of transportation (still paying on it BTW), and I find I drive the MJ more. Is it weird to talk to it while cruising down the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBKrazy Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 yeah.. the most memorable time was when i was up in new hamsphire for the day, and after driving 2 hours back home to rhode island promptly realized upon getting out of the truck that my house keys were still up at the cabin :wall: she was running a little rough that day but i gave her a little pep talk and she made the 4 hour trip again without issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalob Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Everytime I have a really crappy day at the office and go out and see her in the parking lot looking forward to the drive home... I am instantly in a better mood. My wife mentioned the other day that with all I have spent (time and $$) on the two trucks and trailer, parts parts parts and ...also more parts. I could have bought a new truck. I said what would be the point in that... it would be a new truck and not a manche.... For the price of the "new " truck I have my newly converted to 4X4 88 short bed, a factory 4X4 87 project, a killer trailer (enough parts to build another MJ) AND... have put three out of four kids into jeeps all the while watching the addiction go to the next generation...can you say "priceless"??? yup I bond with bucky every single day My name is buffalo and I am an addict.........

87mjdriver Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I drive a beater Honda for my commute to work so the mj doesn't get much drive time, there are days when I think of selling it cause it just sits in the driveway, but it never fails I take it for a drive and it puts a smile on my face. Even better is that every time I drive it I get a nod, a thumbs up, or a compliment on it or some old timer will chat me up about. Honda is in the shop and I drove the truck to work today, had a guy in a brand new BMW m3 come alongside and give me a big nod as he was looking at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tux_Fan Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Not yet I haven't. However I also haven't driven her more than 500 feet... I remember those times with my XJ though. No other vehicle really gives me vibes like that. Not even my motorcycle which is particularly fun to drive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
