Nice job Bug.

RIP minivan. I barely knew you.

Do you still carry all that shit around in your vehicle for work?

Well, seeing that I am not currently employed, the answer would be no. But that shit ain't happening again. I'll put my tools and basic things in it but I'm not doing what I did at my previous job.

congrats Bug. Now go take it off some sweet jumps.

Cool. Seems like it would wear on the suspension.

Nah, nothing I hauled around was all that heavy. A lot of wear and tear on the interior though, which I wasn't all that concerned with my van. The most annoying thing was having to spend 45 minutes cleaning all the shit out if I needed it for personal use.

Heh, I was tempted to have some fun on these snow piles I saw in a nearby shopping center this morning. :evil:

Nice bug! you won't be disappointed...

welcome to the Jeep family!

:rockon:

So, tell us more. We know it’s got the 4.0 HO, how about the transmission? Transfer case (part time/full time)? Axles, gear ratio? You can get away with not knowing these things as a Jeep nOOb but you’ve got your homework assignment. ;)

Bugeater 03-15-2013 10:12 AM

4 speed slushbox for the tranny, it has Selec-trac which has full and part-time 4wd, plus a 4 low setting. Axles...gear ratios...omg I don't know those lol.

COchief 03-15-2013 10:15 AM

Well done, that should be a very solid vehicle. Glad my odd tip helped, it's the little things that sometimes help you find a jem.

Bet you're glad the hunt is over, that by itself can get exhausting.

4 low feels like it will climb a tree.

Selec-trac has a 2wd drive option. The full time 4wd option is nice on those days that it's slick in spots. You just put it in full time and forget it. You don't have to keep shifting in and out of 4wd like a part time system.

I had it in my XJ and it's still my favorite system from any of the others I've had.
