"GEO TRACKER"

When Chevy was about to introduce the first Geo 4wd.The president said to the engineers,"What should we call it?".One engineer jumped up and said "How about the Geo Tracker".The president said "that sounds like a winner!".After the meeting the president asked the engineer "What made him think of that name?".The engineer replyed,"It was simple,since it will have to follow a JEEP".Only in a Jeep...


"JEEPSCAPES"

HERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO TELL IF YOU ARE A JEEPSCAPE:
1. To stubborn to let someone else work on our babies.
2. To arrogant to admit that we don't know all there is to know about our babies.
3. To cheap to buy a new part when we can take the JB weld and patch it then spray paint it so it looks new.
4. And finally,would love to be able to field fix SOMEONE ELSE'S rig with the car batteries (welding)but dont even think about it on my baby!!!
If you fill any of these scenarios,then you just may be a JEEPSCAPE.

gone jeepin' n. 1. The act of being on a trail ride with jeeps.2. STATE OF MIND SIMILAR TO INSANITY.

Wash your XJ's windshield and the guy behind you too!

This really isn't as much a tech tip as a joke on your friend in the JEEP behind you.If you have an XJ I know this will work.I discovered that if you wash your windshield at speeds over 55 mph with another JEEP following you that the fluid sprays nicely onto thier windshield too.No harm just kinda annoying when you just get a little mist and a lot of bugs! Great for amusing yourself on the way to a trail run or on the way home.(just bend a little to make work)

~~~PROFOUND TRIVIA~~~

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather...not screaming in terror like his JEEP passengers!!!
Duct tape is THE FORCE...it has a dark side,it has a light side,and it holds the universe together.
Had God not driven man from the Garden of Eden,A JEEP would have!

THE TEN BEST TOOLS OF ALL TIME

Forget the snap-on truck;it's never there when you need it.Besides,there are only ten things in this world you need to fix any JEEP,any place,any time.

1.Duct tape:Not just a tool,a veritable swiss army knife in stickum and plastic.It's safety wire,bodymaterial,radiator hose,upholstery,insulation,tow rope,and more in one easy-to-carry package.Sure, there's a prejudice surrounding duct tape in concourse competitions,but in the real world everything from Lemans-winning Porsches to Atlas rockets-uses it by the yard.The only thing that can get you out of more scrapes is a quarter and a phone booth.

2.Vice-grips:Equally adept as a wrench,hammer,pliers,baling wire twister,breaker-off of frozen bolts,and wiggle-it-till-it-falls off tool.The heavy artillery of your toolbox,vice-grips are the only tool designed expressly to fix things screwed up beyond repair.

3.Spray lubricants:a considerably cheaper alternative to new doors,alternators,and other squeky items.Slicker than pig phlegm.Repeated soakings of WD-40 will allow the main hull bolts of the Andrea Dora to be removed by hand.Strangely enough,an integral part of these sprays is the infamous little red tube that flies out of the nozzle if you look at it cross-eyed,one of the worst ten tools of all time.

4.Margarine tubs with clear lids:If you spend all your time under the hood looking for a frendle pin that caromed off the peedle valve when you knocked both off the air cleaner,it's because you eat butter.Real mechanics consume pounds of tasteless vegetable oil replicas,just so they can use the empty tubs for parts containers afterwards.(Some,of course,chuck the butter-colored goo altogether or use it to repack wheel bearings) Unlike air cleaners and radiator lips, margarine tubs aren't connected by a time/space wormhole to the parallel universe of lost frendle pins.

5.Big rock at the side of the road:Block up a tire.Smack corroded battery terminals.pound out a dent.Bop noisy know-it-alls in the head.Scientists have yet to develop a hammer that packs the raw banging power of granite or limestone.This is the only tool with which a "made in India" emblem is not synonymous with the user's maiming.

6.Plastic zip ties:After twenty years of lashing down stray hoses and wired with old bread ties,some genius brought a slightly slicked up version to the auto parts market.Fifteen zip ties can transform a hulking mass of amateur-quality rewiring from a working model of the Brazilian rain forest into something remotely resembling a wiring harness.Of course,it works both ways. When buying used Jeeps,subtract $100.00 for each zip tie under the hood

7.Ridiculously large standard screwdriver with lifetime guarantee:Lets admit it.There's nothing better for prying,chiseling,lifting,breaking,splitting,or mutilating than a huge flat-bladed screwdriver,particularly when wielded with gusto and a big hammer.This is also the tool of choice for oil filters so insanely located they can only be removed by driving a stake in one side and out the other.If you break the screwdriver-and you will,just like dad or your shop teacher said-who cares?It's guaranteed.

8.Bailing wire:Commonly known as MG muffler brackets,bailing wire holds anything thats too hot for tape or ties.Like duct tape,it's not recommended for concourse contenders since it works so well you'll never replace it with the right thing again.Bailing wire is a sentimental favorite in some circles,particularly with MG,Triumph, and flathead Ford set.

9.Bonking stick:This monstrous tuning fork with devilishly pointy ends is technically known as a tie-rod-end spreader,but how often do you separate tie rod ends?Once every decade,if your lucky.Other than medievel combat,its real use is the all purpose application of undue force,not unlike that of the huge flat-bladed screwdriver. Nature doesn't know the bent metal panel or frozen exhaust pipe that can stand up to good bonking stick. (Can also be used to separate tie-rod ends in a pinch,of course, but does a lousy job of it.)

10. A quarter and a phone booth:(See #1 above.)

THE TEN COMMANDS OF FOUR WHEELING

Thou shalt not dismantle 4x4 engines in thy living room.
Thou shalt not pirate partsfrom thy family vehicle for use on the 4x4.
Thou shalt not parkthy 4x4 in thy garage and let thy family car sit outside.
Thou shalt not use thy grocery money to repair thy 4x4.
Thou shalt stay home at least one week-end a year to mow thy lawn.
Thou shalt not covet thy 4x4 and forsake thy wife and children.
Thou shalt not take strange and beautiful girls on moon-light wheeling trips (unless they are married to you.)
Thou shalt not steal thy wifes undies to use for oil rags.

WHEN THOU BREAKEST DOWN

Thou shalt not look at new vehicles until thou hast made at least one payment on thine own.
Thou shalt wash thy family car at least once for every fifteen times thou washes thy 4x4.

By following these simple commandments and a little of luck,you may just be able to keep thy 4x4 and thy wife happy....Good luck....

You Might Be a Jeeper If...

You know you're a "Real Four Wheeler" when...

- You'll stop and look at any old rusty heap thinking "Parts Vehicle....." - Your rig has more [farm/boat/military/other vehicle manufacturer] equipment on it than OEM parts

- The AAA guy breaks down, you stop and fix his problem and get back on the road.

- You have a brand new set of tires, but you keep looking at the tire ads, anyway.

- You'll drive 2 days at 500 miles per day so you can spend 2 more days driving 3 miles per day.

- Your CB has never been on Ch. 19, only Ch 4.

- You set up your rig to have a top speed of 65-70 mph - on purpose.

- When you pull up next to a Corvette, all the 'Vette driver can see is tires and whatever is on the other side of you.

- You challenge the 'Vette driver to a race . . . if you can pick the course.

- You have more pictures of your rig than of your kids.

- You spend more time deciding which $3.00 bushing to use than you do on personal hygiene.

- You think Santa's sleigh would look good with a 4" lift.

- Parts catalogs with items circled mysteriously appear on your S.O.' coffee table before Christmas.

- You're sitting here reading this message while your wife is waiting fo you in bed. ....whoops, g'night all. :^)

Three mechanics were in the bathroom standing at the urinals. The first mechanic finishes and walks over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeds to dry his hands very carefully. He uses paper towel after paper towel and ensures that every single spot of water on his hands is dried. Turning to the other two, he says, "At Ford, we are trained to be extremely thorough."

The second mechanic finishes his task at the urinal and he proceeds to wash his hands. He uses a single paper towel and makes sure that he dries his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turns and says, "At Chevrolet, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough but we are also trained to be extremely efficient.

The third mechanic finished and walks straight for the door, shouting over his shoulder: "At Jeep, we don't pee on our hands."

Here's my 12-step program for those similiarly afflicted:

1. Be prepared to spend a lot, and if you want to do it right, I mean a lot, of $money$.

2. When it comes to brand-name, it's all just opinion, always.

3. You really have to love your truck.

4. Research, Study, Learn, Repeat...

5. It will never happen the way it was supposed to in Step #4.

6. It can actually be relaxing to simply crawl under your truck after work and just look.

7. If you wait, something better will always come along.

8. Don't be afraid of drilling, cutting, and/or removing metal. You'll have to sooner of later.

9. Never forget the last time you got stuck.

10. Always help out fellow off-roaders when possible. Karma, you know...

11. If nobody can tell that you were there, you did it right.

12. If you have 400 miles till home on a Sunday night, and you're smiling, it's all worth it.

Hope you had fun,and happy wheelin.
