Probably. The kiddos these days don't seem to know how to fix
anything. Although there are few where I work that do listen to
the ol geezer when he tells them how to fix something and walk
away with tools for less than the stealership cost.

My Heep got a "wee bit bent" on the rear "subframe" and started
loosing some of the clearcoat, but apart from that it still runs.
At this point I no longer care about rockrash.

My Jeep is old enough to legally drink in this state!

My old 89 Renix is still plugging away with either a bad cam or a couple
bad lifters either of which I will be fixing this summer.

I'm still plugging away with a couple new shiny stents put in just
before my birthday (2-20), which resulted in the cardiologist telling me
I need to "take it easier" since I went 10 years over due for the stents
before having the ticker act up.

So I sold my 12 foot yacht (1973 Mirrocraft 12' aluminum boat and
trailer) and I need to find one of those small 4X8 utility trailers to
haul my wood dinghy that I'm gonna build.

Other than that life has been average here in the foothills of the Rockies.

Good to see you guys are still around. I check the postings about
everyday to see if there is any more sage advice on keeping the old CJ
running. The manuals simply don't have all the answers and it takes
real world experience to keep the rest of us running. Thanks!

A buddy of mine many moons ago tried to fish for Blue Catfish from one
of those back in Indiana ... but the first cat he hooked was bigger than
the belly boat and dragged him on the fresh water equivalent to a
"Nantucket Sleigh Ride"(whaling dory being dragged by a whale).

I handed the cardiologist my old beat up roll of genuine WalMart "Duck
Tape" and he tried to toss it in the trash. Darn near gave me another
heart attack trying to get past the RN to rescue it.

Darn city slickers don't know Jeeps run on gas, oil, water and duck tape.
