No more jeep--for now

Nice score....A few of us are after moving from the JK. Mine went for a pretty well new micra. I still have the patriot for backcountry. It works great, is deadly on gas, lots of room, and very comfortable. I put 1100km on the pat yesterday alone! ....doing it again on Monday as far as I know...never bought it to look at it. The micra is a HOOT to drive. WE love it as well.

:sombrero: Thanx for the reply Kojack--
I just can't believe how rock solid/stable/comfy and freeway driving requires almost NO STEERING wheel input--Dodge went to ALL COIL SPRINGS for this 2016 RAM Sport--rides like a Lincoln town car !
Whatever-

Jeep or Tacoma
Explorer
did't hear about the bear . can you recap it. I think sometimes i'll go for a power wagon but then I think my 08 ruby is paid for. even with 143,000 on it well keep us informed. and watch out for bees they like yellow... Don't ask me how I know.

:sombrero: Yeah, we were in the Sierras--about 8K feet above one of the high lakes up the ridge from Bowman lake--alone in my Tentrax/w a TEPUI RTT/5' above ground and about 3 am --
A big black bear started "wuffing" and stroking the tent, on my wife's side--she was totally petrified and I grabbed my "BEAR SPRAY" and 45 1911and stayed quiet--waiting--there was no more action, but she won't camp in that trailer again !
That's one of the reasons for the jeep departure, so we'll be a little more careful, using this truck/camper, at least she accepts that--ya gotta keepem happy---
One of the rangers told me that there had been several "encounters" in that area, but no dangerous trouble-
Survival of the fittest !
