Well I have finally decided to go outside my normal Cherokees and get a TJ Rubicon.  . Today I get the cheque to pay for it and decide to deposit it in the bank because we didn't want to loose it.  Then I go and check out the Rubi again and by the way its in great shape aside from a few nicks in the front grill paint (thanks to Scott, Enos and everyone else who told me what to look for). The guy selling it and I agree on a final price and I head to the bank to get the money out. Well when I get there I find out they put a 5 day hold on the cheque because its from a different bank.  So now I have to wait until after the long weekend to purchase it. It is nice to know that it will be mine soon but I would have rather been driving with the top off today.  . End of Rant, lol.

That's going to be the longest 5 days ever, eh? Friggin banks. I hope you get the jeep. It looks like a good one.

You should have cashed it.
I'd give the seller a deposit to hold the rig.

You want to bet that its going to be a long 5 days, lol. I am already itching to get into the trails. ;D. Haven't been wheeling since the year when we set up SWAT. Still have the hat and certificate that Capitol Health gave us. The ZJ is more of a mall crawler than a rock crawler, lol.  |

Well yesterday I picked up my new to me 03 Jeep Rubicon. . It is awesome. The only thing wrong is that it never came with a soft top or back seat so I am now on the search for both. It did come with a wilderness type rack, cargo basket, ski style carrier and a bike rack. Which I am still debating about selling.  It takes a bit getting used to a stick shift in a truck as I have only drove standard cars. Today is cleaning day and taking the wife and granddaughter out with the top off. See you all on the trails. . Oh bye the way where is the Halifax coffee night located at tonight? |

The Tim Hortons in the Bedford Commons, where the new Walmart and Canadian Tire are just off the highway. See you there! |
