Jeep update

We're waiting to hear from insurance on what they can do for the poor old jeep. At this point, we're considering a 2007 used Wrangler. Add a bit of lift and bigger tires. The Wrangler Unlimiteds (4 doors) are just way too much money. In this region, they are going for over $30K U.S. Ouch. Frankly, the old jeep just needs to be used for parts. But, we'll see what the insurance company comes back with.

If we do another straight Wrangler, I'm hoping to add a welded on 'push bar' to the front, and we're working on what big bits we could weld/add on to the rear. The 2007's come equipped with good headrests and airbags. They are also within our price range, we think. We need something with offroad capability (really, I use it just to get the munchkins to school!) but that also keeps the munchkins safe. The husband is beyond thrilled to say the least to hear his wife say, "Gee honey. Lets just fork out for a lift kit and maybe some Mickey Thompsons? Well, I actually like GoodYear." Ha, ha. Guess I'm just different.
