Re: Post your snow pix!

The whole "Jeep wrote the book on 4wd" thing kinda sets up the tone for Jeepers with a 'tude. That,and the "It's a Jeep thing,you wouldn't understand". Actually,those two slogans give me an attitude . When I had my '69 W200 Power Wagon in the '70s I wheeled with Jeeps. When they'd start with that Jeep wrote the book crap I'd reply,"Yeah,and Power Wagon taught Jeep how to write" I like,"It's a fullsize thing,you wouldn't understand. Jeeps make some killer trail machines...once you put a full GM drivetrain in them.
I bought an '87 Samurai new (my first new vehicle) for my wife when she was in nursing school. She had a long commute down to the university hospital in whatever weather. I liked that in '87 it still had round headlights,solid front axle,and a carb. Plans were,when she was done with it,to make a tiny trailbuster with it. That thing was so light. It could climb like a goat. We ended up having to trade it for the '90 Blazer when she graduated.
