Was heading home from a day trip to Montauk last week. We passed through Sag Harbor and got takeout. The kids improvised with beach chairs and coolers.
Just another reason why I'm glad to have a JT over a JLU.
I have not noticed any fade just yet.
It rains quite a bit here on LI too. I park it with the cab inside of the garage most nights.
Took it to one of the local farms for a drive in movie last night and it rained the whole movie. Kids didn't mind it much but the interior got a bit wet.
Brilliant. I need to get one of those.
When I was younger a friend of mine stood up in the back seat of one of my YJs on the highway one night and pissed out the back. The vortex circulated piss all over the interior, on the inside of the windshield, me and the other passenger. Squeegee would...
I took it from my beach house to my main house one night in a storm. For the 1.5 hour ride it was pouring and my only option was to maintain speed. Had the defroster cranked to keep the inside of the window partially clear. I felt like I was in an episode of Grand Tour / Top Gear.
Worst I had...
It's been 102 days since I have had the top on. Doors have been off most of that time too (had to put on for some highway travel).
Looking to make it till mid October.
Build date is on the sticker on the driver door b pillar.
It's completely possible that it was used at an auto show. Even the truck used in the Superbowl commercial was sent back to the dealer and sold.
Nothing beats running top/doors off with Millionaire by Queens of the Stone Age cranked, or the entire Songs for the Deaf album.
Same goes for bombing down a mountain on a snowboard.
For a more subdued mood - The Joshua Tree.
I am no longer putting on door hinge bolts or the door plungers. I am also only putting on 4 hard top screws (2 on roll cage, 2 rear near seat belts).
I wish the front door electrical connection was easier to pop off. I need to use a key to pry the lever up.
I only tow it to the ramp that is about 1/4 mile from my house to put it in the marina for the summer.
I'm going to take it Thursday to fill it up with gas since fuel at the marina is like 4 bucks a gallon and at the gas station 1 mile a way on land it's about $1.60. 80 gallon tank it's worth...
The backstory is even funnier. It was pouring rain. Truck was in the driveway and at like 6am something shorted and my monster stereo turned on by itself and woke everyone up.
The top was up but I guess enough water got in to cause a short.
You are correct. I was thinking GCVR. Which is basically the weight of the truck and anything on / in it on a scale.
I do think that the GCVR and payload capacity are related, just not sure how the calculation works.
