    Got an old 96 dodge truck, it and the jeep are cousins. One thing I like is they made everything caveman simple. One thing I hate is that sometimes it seems like they were just throwing whatever parts they had laying around together so when you go to change something the biggest task is spending a couple of days just getting to it and cussing them for doing things that retarded way.
    My 2 cents is keep it stock, that's going to keep things simple, all your parts will be compatible with the random collection of parts they assembled it from, and it has lasted 27 years. Changing things up could open the door to nightmares.

    I'm one of those idiots that thinks they have to get to where no man has gone before turkey and deer hunting, even ruined 1 engine accidently going under water (it looked just like those other puddles that were an inch deep), don't think I've ever gotten stuck because my tires weren't good enough. If regular off terrains can't get it, then farmer John's aren't going to save you, imho, and like I said, you get more than double the life.

    Quick question. Anyone else seen slow/late payments from brokers. In 60 days I have had 4 late checks, and filed on one bond. It's like dealing with tenants and late rent. I have heard multiple excuses. New system, wrong address, they mailed it on time. Are big companies using the poor people lies like they are dodging the utility companies?

    Circle Logistics, I filed on their bond. Guy got nasty with me. "I WILL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER HAUL FOR US AGAIN". Which my response was "Why would I, You don't pay invoices".

    I was dumbfounded.
