If you are looking for a cheap hobby that will get you out into the woods, collect rocks or bird watch........don't buy a Jeep.

Id be in for it :)
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

Planning on doing a welding technology when you graduate from what?  WET is for people looking to go into quality control.  Its always good to have a handle on what your in for before entering that program. We have hired and fired several WET graduates in the past months..a picture in a text book and what a quality weld are very different.

I doubt they can teach stick in more than one position over 8 hours, nevermind go thru 4 positions, and then tig. ..It's one thing to give a beginners course over 8 hours..but to teach fundamentals of two different hand skills is impossible.  Good on everyone for wanting to learn the basics of a great trade.
