Arrrrrrrghhhhhh!!!!

What have I done????

I sold Blue to a couple of really nice thirty somethings this afternoon. My TJ is gone. They'll take good care of him.

First time in several decades, I don't have a Jeep of any flavor.

I think, I think I'll go eat worms and die! (or go buy another lever gun...)

 

[KennethS]

What? No more fresh oil spots on the driveway?

go buy another lever gun

You should do this regardless. Hell, everyone should.

@Chris Delete this man's profile ASAP. He no longer belongs. Thank you.

WHY?

Next Thursday, the blushing bride and I are hooking up the Airstream and going rouge. Can't take it with me, so Blue needed to find a new home.

The guys that bought him seem pretty chill. It's a project for them. They have buddies that offroad, wives and kids who like to camp.

I pointed them at the forum, and told them everything they needed to know was here.

Thank you @Apparition - It's gonna be a blast. I'll try to get back here to post pictures and stories as time allows.

Sucks you got rid of it, but it sounds like it went to good people, and now you get to start that next chapter of your life.

I'll warn you though, Jeeps are addicting and you might find one in your future. My first vehicle was an XJ, I have owned 3 of them. The last one I sold in 2018, and at the time had owned BMWs as daily drivers. I was down to just one BMW sedan as a daily and no other vehicles, thought maybe in the distant future I'd own a Jeep but not right away. I lasted a year before I bought my TJ, and now own a Grand Cherokee as a daily.

You know you could have went this route

I vote 45-70 or 44mag

I've not busted my 45-70 cherry as of yet (it will happen), but I do favor my .44 lever over the .357 a bit. .44 from a revolver's nice every now and then as swell. Also partial to .45 auto.

 

[OldBuzzard]

TJs and 44/45s. This thread is turning out better than I expected.

Sitting, waiting for my background check to clear on a nice Rossi R92 in .44 Remington Mag. It's my new truck gun. Blue bought it for me for finding him a good home.

Nah, we off road and boondock. Heck, my trailer has more lift than my TJ had!

I know. I've been through a lot of XJ's and one TJ. I'll probably pick up a 2003 - 4 Rubicon manual, slap H&R springs under it, a winch on it, 31x10.50 16" equivalents for shoes, and call it good.

New to me Rossi R92. Apparently the State Police still like me.

For anyone into Pendleton wool blankets, that's a 150th Oregon anniversary blanket. Ferns and a Mt. Hood reflection on one half, Mt. Hood and Trillium on the other. Pretty cool. Came with a letter signed by the Governor's wife.
