You could have bought that Wrangler for 6000....from my friend who just does not understand.
We can borrow my dads f250....same friend as we are getting ready to hunt this year....still does not understand.
I have to speak up about the "Grand" comments from your local parts counter guy....I was that guy for 7 years and I would rather have them ask then just guess. I am sure that I was guilty of "Grand or Regular" at times, but some people are just stupid and they forget to add the "Grand". Be nice to these guys, some of them know their stuff and can save you a lot of time with the right part the first time.
Later,

I hate Wronglers. Take the money someone put into a Wrongler... ok, now put it into a cherokee. You are going to get a WAY better rock buster. Cherokee all the way! We should boot all Wronglers off this CHEROKEE FORUM....... agree? yes? good. JEEP SPEED

thats alright, i went to autozone today to get my fan clutch and some guy i know from my street racing past said to me "you should have bought a 4 runner" i just started laughing and i responded "why would i do that when my jeep runs?" then some guy in autozone had to remark "chrysler sucks ***" i shook my head and said "yea chrysler sucks soo much *** mine has 221k on it all original huh pretty good to me dont ya think bet ur mustang hasnt broken down a million times before it hit 100k lol"
people are dumb my mom had a 92 4 runner when i was a kid, that thing was a piece of ****, it always blew headgaskets, and it handled like **** in the dirt why would i buy that crap lol

My jeep was called a tonka toy by a 8 inch lifted blazer ten minutes later I sent my girlfriend out in my "tonka toy" to go pull him out. She decided to do a few doughnuts around him first I loved it!
