[strictlyxjs]

Found this tonight sorry if its been posted before but this my first time seeing it. Looks like it was published to youtube recently

Some things I learned watching this:

1. It was acceptable to hike your shorts up past your knees

2.People were jerks and left trash strewn about the forest. 

3. People threw their old hot water heaters in the creek rather than scrapping them for beer money

4. It took 2 people to move an old tire and 3 to carry a small empty cooler.

2 people to move a small tree branch and 14” wheels on a pickup!!!!!

Great video!   Thanks for posting it.   It might be easier to find an MJ in good shape than to find a pair of those shorts!

Great video, goes great with the one owners received on VHS in 1990.

@strictlyxjs Thanks for sharing that video. While slightly bizarre, I do appreciate Chrysler's Tread Lightly! Campaign 

 

For some reason I literally laughed out loud when I saw this:

The shorts and the socks!!!  Man that takes me back to the good old days.  I was the EXACT demographics of the targeted market.

 

I probably had those shorts and socks.  (I'll have to check, but I may still have a pair shorts in a drawer.)

I bought a 1990 XJ Laredo at the end of 1989 and a VHS came with it.   It was so long ago that I can't honestly can't remember if it was this one but my guess is that it was.   They may have made a separate video for the Canadian market but I doubt it.   The XJ and video are long gone but I still have the sales brochure in which I highlighted the options that I wanted.

2 things

 

1. I know why, but I found it funny that they weren’t comparing the Dakota 

 

2. @Pete M, we have a pinned Comanche literature page, could we get one for videos too?

This is what the cover looked like.

That's interesting.  I'm sure it did not look like that.   It came in a white carboard VHS sleeve and I'm pretty sure it had a very simple label on it.   Again I doubt we got a different video but I'm wondering if they made one with metric measurements and English/French labels.   Everything we get has the labels in 2 languages.  The joke, for me anyway, is that at least I know which side of the can to pour the paint from.

I was just thinking that.  why don't you start a new one with the title asking for all videos   that way there will be 2 of us that can alter the lead post to gather them all together in one spot.
