I know that some people will do this. I know that some people will even post their intent to do this on a Forum. But the truth is that your skin has to be a little thick if you are going to broadcast these plans to a Group of People that mainly consist of members that wheel their rigs and shop for vehicles for this reason. If you want to deface a $30,000 vehicle in this manner, hey it's your money. I don't have to like it, I can joke about my concerns for your welfare, and I can laugh with my wife as I drive by in my Lifted Rubicon on the way to the family favorite wheeling spot. But what I would not do is make suggestions about putting someone in the Hospital because of their opinion. I could, with my Military Service over the past 18 years, 8 of which i served with The Special Service Force Headquarters including 1 Tour in Northern Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in 1991 during Gulf War 1 and a tour in Bosnia........But I won't, because of the freedoms I have dedicated my life to protect...Like freedom of speech, I support. I thought Reptiles had thicker skin, maybe I'm wrong "Snake". I have known two people with the Nickname "Snake". When I first met them, I thought these guys must be tough and respected to get a Nickname like "Snake".........Until I found out that they...............Drum Roll Please................Gave themselves the Nickname! I will just let all viewers of this thread, judge just how thick your skin really is. What do you think folks.......I bet he has a Python Tatoo on his Forearm because it best displays his personality. The truth is that my response was the Joke that you should have expected by posting the comments you did. If anyone views it as being too serious or feels threatened - Well then they need to lighten up.
:toung:
:toung:
:toung:
:toung:
Wait a minute.....How about "VIPER" that's a tough Nickname.



.................LIKE A FIGHTER PILOT!

This site is the best source for the info you seek.
-The information provided by theWebmasters and the Sponsers.
-The direct replys from Sponsers to people like us in our Forums.
--Check out the Superior Axles Thread.
--Check out the BOR Webpage - The Unlimited with 2" of Lift and 37s. These guys are Sick and Talented.
-You can find Parts at Rusty's, Quadratec, and other sites out there.
--But you can't find the knowledge about and the support for them like you can here.
I think I may have brought this fun thread to a screeching halt with my dry sense of humour - That's the Canadian Spelling by the way. The good thing is that most members won't make quick Judgements about a Website by the actions of one.
Of course, being a Senior Member - You already knew this.:toung:

Must be nice
The Rubicon Unlimited costs $29,900 here with the 6 Speed and Base Radio.
- That's before any options.
:confused:
:confused:
Oh, wait a minute that's $29,900 Canadian. I guess it's not too bad then. I mean really, what's that in US funds? I think, with the exchange, it's got to be at least $47.25 or $47.50..........Right?

Seriously though....Even though you talk of a ... Cough, Gag, Yak ... Lowering Kit (Sorry, Had something caught in my throat), Please say you bought a 4X4 Model so I can "TRY" and talk you out of it.

You guys are so funny, it's like having 1,000 big brothers! YES DON'T WORRY I AM A WOMAN!

I really loved the asphalt scrapper comment!

Come on dude, I am a woman and I AM lifting my jeep.. I am 5'6" and I can hop in just fine! SO I figure a 3" lift should be about right to get some steps to get up in it!

If you lower it maybe some pink neon underneath would look good too!

Hmmmmm i gotta think about that one! KIDDING!
