It's a jeep thing, I don't understand.

[crewdcab]

Yeah, I do have to admit I have had to tow the Jeep out, but I've done it the other way as well. Like fomocoguy said, I've had the Jeep on some trails I would not want my highboys on, for they would surely get some serious body mods by the end of the day.

I think the whole "Jeep" thing is like a lot of marque "things". People get so caught up in their brand that they automatically assume that since it is a jeep, chev, toyota, or whatever, that is automatically the best at everything. I know a dude that thinks any chev will beat any ford. So like a stock chevette drag racing a boss stang, and he's actually ignorant/stupid enough to say yes. Point is, every automaker made some great stuff and some junk. I really try to distance myself from people like that. So, I think I may understand the "Jeep" thing, but I think it is kinda dumb.

Anyhow, I would also take great pleasure towing out anyone with that mindset. Great pics by the way.

Absolutely. Acknowledging that is the mark of a maturity that few people achieve. At the same time, it's fun to bust the ball$ of friends with Chevies, Jeeps, or imports. It loses its fun when people stop laughing and take themselves or their vehicle brand too seriously. And any vehicle can get stuck/break down with a bozo behind the wheel.

Distributor conveniently located on the side of the motor to catch water on both engines when used as boat

I've owned several 232's and 258's in cars which had this problem. If you hit a puddle big enough to splash the side of the engine, a few miles later you were dead in the water (pun intended) because of condensation under the cap. Back then I always kept extra McD's napkins in the glove box to dry it out.
