I grew up on a farm in Canada, so I had most of 34 acres to bomb around in. When I tried to access the last 5 acres that was blocked by the creek (Serpentine river) my poor old '61 Vauxhall Victor didn't have the proper tires or ground clearance for a water crossing! Took the tractor down to pull it out before my dad got home from work. (I would've gotten a hiding if he knew!) I also used to wheel a '65 Pontiac Stratochief 4 dr sedan with Ford 1 ton coils under it for a 5" lift. We made it everywhere till we went to a lake during winter time through snow up to our fender tops. I made it in through the hills and such down into the crater by Davies lake and had to come back out in reverse. A 4x4 was waiting for us at the top of the hill and when he saw us come around the last corner, he took off. He had sunk into the compacted snow and my car dropped all 4 wheels into the holes and got high centered. A buddy from work charged me $50 and a case of beer to get me out with his 4x4 a week later. Car was still fine with tracks going around it and it only took a little tug to get it off the hump and rolling on it's own again. My brother and I had tried to dig it out all night long with pieces of rear 1/4 panel we cut off and branches nailed to them to make shovels. (my then pregnant wife helped by driving the car when it needed it but we couldn't get it to budge) My dad showed up the next morning as we were trying to walk out. They were more scared than we were, but we came prepared. I had a hand winch (comealong), my toolbox, Gerrycan with gas, firewood and paper to start a fire, 2 spare tires and lots of food (we made tea with my cig lighter kettle and fresh snow melted plus we had a bunch of freshly bought groceries) I had my cookstove and enough woods sense to survive quite a while on what we could catch (had some VERY nice salmon. This was before I found out I was allergic to fish, but we had allergy stuff with us too because of my younger brother's allergies) The other thing was we let people know where we were going and didn't change plans. That is VERY important during winter outings! From: john Subject: Re: xj: Jeeps outclimb an H1 hummer the military videos I saw of it showed it going through a swamp... I'm kind of thinking that the driver was a bit sheepish and not Jeepish... If my kid can take a Mercedes 300D off road, and another friend of mine a Volvo, and I've taken a Ford Fiesta up trails... I think it's more the driver than the Hummer... of course I want to think that Jeeps are really better... ;) a buddy of mine came over with an H1 and made it up the test hill after a bit of effort... but he did make it... john _________________________________________________________________ Get the latest Windows Live Messenger 8.1 Beta version.

If something I'm checking out turns into the real deal, then a diesel will be needed to test it on. A buddy that works for KIA is looking into bringing over one of the KM450s from Korea. I told him I want one as well if they aren't too expensive. Being a used vehicle, the emissions may be more lenient. From: "Allen Zylstra" Subject: RE: xj: Jeeps outclimb an H1 hummer It is amazin where a small xj will go. My future diesel plans are starting to point toward the sprinter vans. I still think a diesel Jeep would be nice. Allen _________________________________________________________________ Get the latest Windows Live Messenger 8.1 Beta version.

Keleigh is looking for a 999, 998 or 727 Jeep trans for his Eagle. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Teddy Roosevelt Glenwood Springs. Hey, I just messaged you on the "Eagle's Nest" site about the T-5 wagon at the youpickem. If I can get all the parts at a reasonable price I'd prefer to go manual. I'll probably go with the 998 if not. Either way, I'll probably end up driving to Denver, there's not much around here. Thanks!
