Thanks.
Tough question. Larson tried to bend me over on a JK, so I bought mine at Milam who tried to bend me over on servicing and fixes. I now get my work done at Larson and have been happy with their service department, though no way in hell would I buy a vehicle from them. I guess the short answer is that they all suck.

That's about what I expected.

Here is another question. We just moved here recently from Hawaii where we lived for 15 years. I have three kids who have never seen snow and they all want to see what it's like. Does anyone know of a good place nearby where we can rent a cabin or lodge up in the higher elevations for a weekend where the kids have room to go sledding or just play in the snow? We are planning on February.

Thanks

You could try Alta Silva Cabins (or Alta Crystal...I can't remember exactly) Near Crystal Mountain Ski area.

That would be less than a 2 hour drive from DuPont

Hello,

We been here for over 15 years, and are big Ford nuts. But, the '08 Rubicon sure caught the missus' eye. It's been in the drive for a couple of weeks now. Driving around town in the snow today was about as easy as I've ever driven. The Bronco (when finished) wil be for the ugly stuff. The Rubi will be for the fun stuff.

We are new to the area, trying to spend as much time around Rainier as possible, JK makes it easy, job makes it harder. Would like to find a great spot, close to Rainier or even in Olympic Mountains off the 101, to take the family off road a bit...
