WAS gonna get a stubby front bumper
« on: December 19, 2011, 05:26:18 PM »
Got cut off today, uninsured driver back from China 2 days decided to use the deerfoot on ramp from 17th ave to do a u-turn for blackfoot trail. She crossed into my lane without signaling and slammed on her brakes before attempting a uturn, I turned hard as I could towards the barrier and hammered her. Whats the point? I tweaked my bumper a bit after the framerail on the passenger and she royally fugged her car up... Maybe ill stick with a full width bumper.

Probably safer around some of the drivers out here... ;) I never felt scared driving down the 401 in Toronto at 110km bumper to bumper, yet here, with half the traffic, and Deerfoots max speed being about 4o on a good day, I dont think Id feel as safe without the full bull bar on my xj.
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...

If you put enough lift in, you can't tell if you are getting high beamed. 8)

On my last truck I had 8 forwards lights on it I could run at the same time.. Factory fogs, Hella fogs, bosch driving lights, KC mean mother driving lights and the regular headlights.. Those days that people flashed their high beams at me I gave them one fair shot.. If they did it again I flipped them all on. It also really sucked to be anyone who cut me off at night time, because they got the same drill.. Haha
