When you are a competent mechanic, and you can repair vehicles so they do not break again, you can sustain a successful relationship while still having nice things.

Mine was the same way when I purchased mine back in 2010. Enough dog hair for 3 good sized labs. Love the wheel/tire combo.

She still has the Jeep. She will be driving the Jeep until this truck is done, then the Jeep will go away.

She has had it a little over 48 hours right now...lift is 90% done with exception to the bumpers...the tailgate had more rust than expected, so a replacement tailgate is being painted as we speak
