The Rental

We went and rented a 4 door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. It's pretty cool. It doesn't feel as spry as the old junkie jeep I had, but it's kinda nice feeling like I'm in a Hummer. We've rented it for a month and had Omani auto insurance added. That way, we can really test drive one before we buy! When we do buy, thanks to 'baby step 3' for those of you who know what that is, we'll be paying cash. Mad about spending the money, but VERY grateful we have the money. But, hopefully, we can bring it back to the home country. Otherwise, Jeeps are huge here and we can resell it - eventually?

Here's a review and pics of pretty much what we've rented and are thinking about buying. We prefer the hard top to the soft top still at this point. As the husband put it, "A jeep is still the only way I can give my family a full roll cage." Also, even in town, my vehicle sees a lot of off road time - this place is not the home country! I offroad to get my munchkins to and from school.

Everyone is still ok. I'm still a bit achey in the neck and head (but that's always been an issue for me), so basically no worries.

Peace.
