It's so nice having a truck!!

Man, I had forgotten how nice it is to have a truck to be able to move whatever I need whenever I need...only thing nicer would be if I got to keep it at the house!

Anyway, here is what I get to do now:



Here's what I'm used to attempting! As useful as the shape/style of my car is, it has its limits.



I suppose this was just one of those "I love my jeep" moments. and I wanted to share.

Well I will say this. You have an awesome looking Jeep!

Could you have put the back seat down? Beale.

I do this all the time! I've been driving these old rigs for the past 10 years and every time I smell a burning smell or see a puddle under the jeep the first thing I think is "please don't let that be me".

I built a L-shaped thingy and a u-shaped thingy to haul stuff like that the in the Cherks and waggy. L-shaped thingy goes on the floor behind the folded seat and the u-channel goes over the tailgate to keep the wipes from getting messed up. Lots-o-stuff I take the dually.

Smart! I was a little nervous about the window in the tailgate.

But the magnum has been useful to me...I actually "use" it unlike alot of people who pretty them up and wont get a spec of dust on them...things I've hauled in the past:








Alot of that stuff makes the magnum guys cringe!

So nice to have a big rough truck that I dont have to baby!

Ha! Its a Magnum of Keystone! get it!
I always wanted a Magnum. I can't afford to drive one, but I always liked the idea. My wife thinks they are ugly. I told her she would not be required to drive it, just me.

My sentiments exactly, it was a late night beer run for about 70 people at a birthday party.

There's a box of Negra Modelo behind there somewhere for me to drink.

Huge, roomy, comfy, every little feature you could want, and ballsy as hell!

Drove 36 hours straight with 4 people and several hundred pounds of crap in the back, most comfortable road trip ive ever done.

Gets like 24mpg on the highway, i average about 16 around the city though haha...but then again I actually DRIVE it.

Only reason I could afford it is that my mom didnt want it anymore and I bought out the remainder of the loan.

Looks to me like you need to add a J-truck to your fleet!

Do it! You know you wanna!

There IS a gladiator that's about 15 colors of paint and primer just sitting in a driveway about two miles from my house.....I've thought about it!

I can't afford to drive one because it only gets 24MPG. Ironically, that's better than my wife's Nitro V6.

Red and yellow and green and bare metal and gray? Haha...only thing it blends in with is a junk yard.

I should get a closer look at it...I've never seen it move.

It was killing me too...hardly an economy vehicle!

I currently drive it about 2000 miles a month EEK! I get my oil changed about every 2 months (stupid 7 quart oil changes too...)


Lucky for me I haven't paid for fuel in almost a year. I have a company gas card and they pay for it all considerig about 95% of the mileage is work related. Some days I put 125 miles in without leaving the city.

Car has 136k on it and has been trouble free and still goin strong! Not bad for a dodge.
