My uncle had a brand new Jeep CJ on Nantucket for 2 years and sent it to the scrapyard after the 2nd year. His family left it at the beach at low tide. Spent a full tide out there before they got it back. Literally sat on a sand dune for 2 years getting blasted by sand and salt air before dying.

Has anyone bought a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and regretted it?
Moored a YJ in distress today as this GP thread is going:
Thing died in front of my apartment on the road. Young owner dude managed to get it to the center lane where they tried to jump it. Had plenty of juice to turn (figures ) but no gas/spark.
I helped them push it into place in the parking lot. Here at my apt. They’ll fix or move her tomorrow.
Can’t stop ogling it just a bit. They sure are cool even in modest trim.
She’s a 95 with a 2.x 4pot and a 5 spd. Looks pretty stock which is fun to find these days for that era.

You probably tell it better than I did. Great tale.

I dunno. Just looking at the way that thing is parked, it doesn't look like the fuel pump.

That's a given. Sean Penn wouldn't be caught dead in that.

I wonder if he's ever sold anything to Sean Penn or Scott Baio? He probably won't dish, but I bet Bobby's contact list is a who's who of movie stars.

Yeah I love the integrated “sending unit” on top of the tank trick. I had to drop the tank in the CJ to clean the rust out. You’d drive until it started to hesitate, clean or replace the fuel filter, clean the tank with muratic acid and tons of water and repeat.
He insisted it had gas, but for his sake I hope he’s just trying to save face.
Interestingly, there was a shower curtain rod snugged up between the rear braces of the roll bar. I confronted him about it and he insisted that him and his friends had just been out doing “some owl stuff.” I nonetheless took the opportunity to note the problems he’d encounter trying to falconry with such a primitive setup and how upset the raptor might become. I don’t think he took it to heart but hey I’m not the kid’s dad.
A good friend of mine once said to me he said “Scrape em off Claire; you want to save somebody, save yourself.” Not sure why he called me Claire.

This said by a person who thinks they can just buy their way into a falconry club with a Bentley falcon edition. A production falconer? I hope that you are prepared for replacing those falconry systems with those that fit your personal and raptorial needs much more suitably.
Even the man in the video has been banished to the desert to be alone with his falcon and Bentley. (It is romping those dunes though.)

When tooling about the tournament grounds and, of course, if you spot a fellow falconer in the host village city center while motoring, on foot or whilst enjoying a local beverage at a quaint street cafe, I’d say that a friendly hand gesture is welcome.
Now, of course, while underway upon the carriageway, all falconers should be going the same direction, as they will be traveling to the next event, and there shall be no need to pass one another. Therefore such otherwise friendly niceties may be dispensed with, as they will generally be imperceptible to your fellow falconers.

Big Steve knew his falcons.
My guess he'd be against the sport if he were still here."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang
