Got it all cleaned up and running again. Threw in a new battery and it fired right up and drove out of the garage for the first time in a year. Now it's time to replace the bent control arms and align it. Then it will be trail worthy again

Offline There were actually very few spiders that we had to evict. But even one spider is too many for me

Nice. Hopefully this will be my inspiration.
Originally I was going to fix it and sell it. But after driving it around a bit, I'm going to keep it. I've got so much money tied up into it that it seems a shame to just let it go cheap. Besides, there are a lot of memories wrapped up in every dent and I think I'm one of the few original members that's still driving his original rig

I'm not quite an original member but I'm still in my original rig too. I know how you feel. I've had thoughts about selling my Jeep and just going back to a stock Jeep for a commuter/weekend mall crawler/rv tow vehicle. Then I think if I did that I want to at least do a few things too it. Next thing I know I've mentally built the theoretical rig up similar to what I've already got. I still have fun driving the old Jeep and even took the doors off this week for the first time in two years!

Exactly the same way I feel. Besides, it isn't costing me much to just keep it.

I wheel? I think that's just a myth

I don't have much attachments to my rigs. I miss the 4Runner but it was the right choice. The boyfriend of the gal that babysits the boys has a ridiculous Cruiser (V8, air lockers, shower, every crazy addition you can think of - and he works at a body shop so it's gorgeous). That makes me want a cruiser again. But I like A/C. Of course we just bought a pop up trailer so my weekends are full again. But, I drive a company car to work so maybe a daily driver isn't as important as it used to be. Tow hitch on the Murano, sell the truck, buy something fun...
Too many choices.

Offline Suspension is fixed. Replaced the broken bolt in the rear and replaced the front control arms with brand new ones. Drives really well now, nice and solid. Now I just have to get it lubed and aligned. It's a slow process. . .
Thanks Brad for the helping hand
