Have you ever....

[carwash]

yes, i guess i shouldn't say i know what i want now... but i can safely say that i have a much better idea about it.

It is just as important to know what i don't want...

- I don't want stock jeep axles, no matter what jeep they came out of... I built a set of stock CJ axles with ARB's, gears, chromos, etc.... man that was retarded.

- I don't want a daily driver rig to drive on the trail... did it for a long time, did my time you might say. the stress of "oh my god how am i going to get home if i break" and "then how am i going to get to work/school tomorrow".

- I don't want an enclosed rig, whether it be hard top, soft top, whatever. the most covering i want is a bikini top, even in the dead of winter.

- I don't want anything less than 40" tires, ever again. Once you go black... well you know what i mean.

- I don't want anyone else working on my junk, ever again, for any reason. you learn by doing. I got soaked for at least $30k in just labor back when i had no idea what i was doing.

- I don't want an RV, or fifth wheel, or pop up, or anything like that. It's tent or hotel for me. Or sleep in my truck, etc... I don't need a second house to take care of. I have too much maintanance on my real house already.

i guess i could go on for hours about it... it's funny what you learn along the way...
