That’s so weird about the ducks.Hobby Lobby had a bunch of little yellow rubber ducks in their “man cave area”,car signs,etc,those familiar with Hobby Lobby.They’re spreading all over the place here in NY.Anyway,I’ve owned a few Jeeps,XJs only though.After reading this,now I realize the whole “duck” thing.Wonder where or how that got started.Hmmm🤔And of course they took JP magazine off the news stand.Actually not sure,but I think the really “only” ALL Jeep magazine.🤨

About five six years ago I owned a perfect 2000 Jeep Cherokee,well it was perfect to me.It got wrecked bad.I loved the truck,was gonna give it to my kid.And then it gets wrecked.So I look at a bunch of others and wind up buying this POS mall rat Jeep,from a 4x4 shop,cause it reminded me of my 2000.My 2000 had low miles,no,”0” rust or big dents.Automatic,not like my old 4spd two door green one.Rare little Jeep.93,Two door,the color,like a Forrest Green side rear pop out windows.And a few other small factory options.Anyway,so shortly after my 2000 gets wiped out,I see this thing sitting up for sale,like I said at a shop.That was my first mistake.I built my 2000 from the 6 and 1/2 inch suspension,a snorkel,a visor,cut fenders,35s,12.5,on 15 x 8 inch wheels,and that was it.It could and did go anywhere,Rubicon Raush Creek,The Hamptons,my friends property in PA…The 2000 was just put back on the road after 3 years,cause my 09 CV police interceptor got wrecked by a fat ugly sh#% brown UPS truck.That was that.But I kinda hate this Cherokee,now that I put it back on the road.Yesterday I finally got to go a little off-roading up in the woods near my house.It poured Thursday so I knew it was gonna be nice and muddy.It was,and the truck was ok,not as good as my 2000,but not bad,Anyway,I bought a 2004 Landrover.So I may sell the Jeep,& throw the Landrover Discovery on the road.Its lifted,but not high enough.So I’ll go up.The first pic is the 2000,And the other is the 2001,obviously..Thats only on a four inch lift,but with 35s,but on 17 Hummeresque,if that’s a word,wheels.They are a pain to take off.Its got a winch,but I never use it..The 2000,and even my 93 two door rode on regular black steel wheels.I wish I had a picture of my 93.BTW,if you are looking to buy a Cherokee,buy one from 93-2001,(well that was the final year for the XJs.Most prior to the 93 model was supposed to be garbage, especially the diesel’s,which were kind of rare.Thats what I read,IDK.👐

What Bob,I thought you go there all the time,no?In some church in Patchougue.Its just N.of Sunrise,On N.Ocean Ave,on the left,in the back,with a long wide parking lot.Not as big as Bellmoore,I went there once this year.Almost got into a fight with the insane girl.🙄She wanted to try and hit me,no,especially not there.Anyway,PM your last name,so I don’t walk around all day at LIARS looking for you.Only if you want to…I know you said,kind’be where you’ll be set up.I gotta way too many kits to bring,gotta narrow my choices ,soon,They have a WIP area,right?Your a member,are you not?I think that’s a class,or in primer,idk.Better not oversleep.Now are u going to Bald Hill tomorrow?And if so,are you selling?I only know one guy named Bob into models,and you don’t him.Gonna be c😬Ld tomorrow under that stupid solar panel roof monstrosity of a roof.The wind up there gets trapped.During the summer,it’s great.

Thanks,yea I have to admit the chassis was prebuilt..The supplier has various chassis for different cars,including pro mods.I will have to say that they are some nice chassis(3D printed),I believe.At least that’s what they all look at...Ok but at the moment I can’t recall the supplier.I’ll look into it though ,and will get back to u…I promise.Actually this might be the supplier.

Finally got the old Cherokee off-roading in the woods by my house today.It had poured all day yesterday,so I knew it would be slick and muddy.Ah it was great.
