I have taken a few trips in the last month or so, and I get bored! This is bad because then I come on the forum a lot and see all the cool stuff people are doing to their Jeeps and I start spending... I have ordered so much stuff for my Jeeps in the last month or so, I can't even remember buying it until it shows up at the door... Vacations are so much more costly that just the trip!! I have to get back to work.

1. Vacations were meant to spend money and have fun. Only cure for this is stay home.
2. Can't take it with you. Enjoy, life's short.

This forum made me realize I could order a custom truck out of state for cheaper than what any local dealer would want to charge me, that I did want and need the rubicon, to get a lift and 37’s from the start and I can’t even begin to talk about the gadgets and money spent on other Knick knacks that add up outside of the big items. No regrets, love this thing and all I need to do is remind myself to use it more than a commuter.

I am always immature!
I like that you said "Jeeps" i am getting ready for a vacation and our camper was stolen and recovered 24 hours later thus started a spending spree to replace stolen items and a chance to improve storing and packing methods to make my life easier when packing all the crap up. Now teh camp will get a fresh coat of paint and i have replace the rotten pieces of wood and sealed her up as best i can.

Why shouldn't she. You spent on her jeep as well as yours. If you did just yours, I could see her point. Have a blast with your jeeps. :like:
