If CJ parking brakes are like the XJ's, they're pretty much useless without a wheel chock of some sort anyways

Not sure about the phone (good possibility though), I almost wonder if the cop took the corner too fast and either got it sideways then bounced it over the curb when it grabbed which allowed it to get high enough to get on the rock with momentum taking over from there or misjudged where the driveway is (the island more of a reverse L than an I there before you get to the drive), bounced it over the curb, with the previously mentioned altitude and momentum thing taking place. I forwarded this to a friend that I worked with there and now works for a different HTU and is a local fireman and paramedic shortly after posting this here. He texted back a couple sarcastic responses, followed by "Is that our Taco Bell?" When he recognized the building and saw the address in the article

Your Ranger, Explorer, and screen name look familiar Mark. Are you also on RC Crawler? I go by the screen name BJoe over there.

I saw this on the local news and thought that the place looked familiar..........now I know why!

That's what I'm thinking too, Leno has had a couple on his YouTube channel in the last year or so.

Nice van, I learned to drive on one from that model year that had the regular bench seats in the back and normal side windows!

HA!!!!

Not only that, but it looks like it might be an AWD model, which sits an inch higher than the RWD car does.

Eh, I stil call it Comiskey most of the time

What's that from?

That sucks, I was just listening to their "Iron Man II" sound track on my way home from work tonight.

Seems like starting out in '16 might be the better choice, gives them more time to develop things. Would love to see him create his own chassis and maybe engine at some point too.

We shouldn't be too far short of the winter of '77-'78 after this year, last I read, we were pretty close!

Eventually

Yup, it was in Toledo.

I was off work at 6pm tonight and had to make a run to Elburn before heading home. THE roads weren't bad, but the visbility sucked from the store to Elburn as well as the rest of the trip back to West Chicago, not sure if I even had 1/2 mile of visibilty at times!

That should have been the same plant then, up until that plant went off line, the only modern Jeep that hadn't been built there was the Grand Cherokee, which us still being built in Michigan.

Depends, you should be able to air up or down on the move. I saw a Drive episode on YouTube where the guy was driving an Audi wagon with an AccuAir system that allowed the driver to have a set cruising altitude, high roller stance (that was taller than stock), a parking lot/fairgrounds stance, all while on the move, and then when you parked the car, it would air out completely and set the car in the weeds. Wasn't cheap, but if I were going to bag something, that's where I would look first. It would even be if use for my parent's minivan when Mom was more mobile and could go places, just park it and air out the suspension and make it easier for her to get into and then air it all the way up so it would be easier for her to get out of and since it could take into account the weight in the vehicle, it could handle their luggage and Mom mobility scooter and could be aired up to deal with places like the driveways around Branson, MO where ground clearance and suspension travel is more useful than you would think.

Been there, or been chastized for doing something nobody told me not to do or not knowing about something I wasn't there for.

No

Was that still the same plant my XJ Cherokee was built in?

I wouldn't, plenty of fiberglass clones out there to build from.

I'M still wondering when # became a symbol for pounds, I always used lbs instead.

Not by much, they would have stuck a matching set of rims and non airbag wheel on it then stuck their logo all over it.

Don't get me started about salt on a floor Harry.............
