How old is your rig?

[Mortblanc]

I was just outside putting fresh refrigerant gas into the "hot rod" Sentra. I had a little left and decided to see if the Jeep would still make cold air.

The poor thing sucked that gas into the system and 30 seconds latter was blowing snow out the vents.

I am in the same place you are CH. A 1997 Cherokee 4L with 175k and burning no oil and now mechanically sound. I just had new brakes put on last year and a new front end 4 years ago. Tires were replaced 5 years back and do not have 5k on them. The tread is still sharp.

I have the sneaky suspicion that in about 10 years that vehicle will still be sitting in the driveway and I will still be wondering when it will die.

I have owned 5-6 Jeeps over the years and put over 200k on two of them and do not know about the 1948 MB, since it had seen government use, been sold as surplus and used seriously for 24 years before I bought it back in 1972. I traded it for a new Jeep model when I graduated from college and went to the Army.

Now if I could figure out a way to put those big off road tires on that Sentra, along with the cactus smasher and Lucas lights off the old Ford, I would be on the way to the WRC. I wonder how much of the sun roof my expedition roof rack would cover?
