I know the feeling. We've bought 4 F150's, 1 Expoder, and 1 Ranger for our kids.


I need a whole bottle of Crown......'cept I can only afford Jim Beam.

....cries into jelly-jar glass of Jim beam :(

beam > crown

don't like my bourbon to be sweet. used to, but then (years ago) i got to the legal drinking age

:xmastup:

well played sir.

I was going for the cost difference but thanks for ruining the joke....hater. :mad:











:D

i know you were, but that's what i'm here for :tiphat:

should've said something like Glen Livet vs Old Grandad or somethin lol

Old Crow, there.

Does it have a roll bar/cage?

i see that there is a lift on already and what looks like 33" tires a winch onboard air. anything done to the axles or do you know what kind it has? what brand and size of lift?

all wranglers/CJs do :tup:

That's an awesome thing you did. If I had a kid, I'm sure I would've done the same. My kids happiness (and safety) > my hobby/dream car. I'm sure one day, this kid will surprise you with a car of your dream in your driveway!

BTW, soft top wranglers are one of my favorite 4x4 . :tup:

Nice move. And at least you'll get to go jeeping this way :)

Just please make sure he understands center of gravity, and the fact that a lifted Jeep is a tradeoff - it can go off road, but does not corner fast. Nor do they do well at high speed on the highway. If he's racing someone, even someone in a crappy sedan, he needs to let the other guy win.

I know I was pretty crazy with my first vehicle, but certain points my dad made did stay in my head. You don't want him spending his life regretting the girls who died in the back seat because he was showing off.

Sorry about the downer - I'm not usually much for safety - but I think it's worth bringing up...

Good!
Teenager that use to live behind us had a Jeep, no roll bar. He rolled it. He now rides a three wheel bicycle.

my parents got me a 370z and i'm 19.. 7 years ago we were living in the philippines living in the slums. i couldn't be any happier ;\ i'm sure ur son will be really thankful for what u've done.

:eek:

that was stupid of them to take it out. the factory ones like on the jeep i have and that moonlitebiker bought, are good and very safe but lack an A pillar which is its only weak spot really. im about to put one in along with some other supports.

Rolled Jeep!!!

you can see how the windshield is mushed down that it doesnt have much support and in the third pic you can see where there is no A pillar. ive seen alot worse and the stock cage has allowed people to continue to walk away with relatively minor damage to the drivers/passengers. after seeing all that i have i gotta say i feel alot safer in my jeep than any other car in a roll over :icon17:

Edit: BTW Moonliteboker, do not let your son or any mechanic no matter what they say remove the sway bars. you can disconnect them for offroad which is a really good thing but if he is driving on the road make sure they are connected. the only jeeps you can get away with not having a sway bar are the leaf sprung jeeps

buy another Harley - I'm a HD engineer and need to keep my job
