I was tooling around on the 'net checking out mods for the SixStang when I realized the fundemental difference between Jeepers and people who modify thier 'Stangs.
A Mustang owner will find the part they need, order it, wait for it to come, and install it.
A Jeeper? He'll find the part he needs, and make it. Failing that, he'll find the part he needs, look at it, copy it, and make it in his garage and install it.
Not to mention the wimpy tires and single drive axle...

Sooooo.... Now that you have owned both?
Buy it or build it... ???
It's a little harder to build the stuff that you need for a Mustang!
On an up note, hubster is thinking of building that bumper for my Jeep... heh heh heh...

I really like Mustangs!
I owned one in 1984. I got stuck in a snow storm, walked ten miles, shoveled
12 hours, drove home and fell asleep at the wheel.That's the last time I owned a rear wheel drive without also owning a Jeep. As a matter of fact, I've owned at least one Jeep continuously since then.
That is why they put a trunk in them. It is for the sand bags or the cast iron radiator. There are some people where I live who do fine with rear wheel drive vehicles all year long. Last winter, we had four meters of snow too.

I know. It was in May. I had taken the cement out of the trunk.
Right about building stuff. There's no factory in the Philippines stamping out new replacement Mustang bodies.

That's the problem with cement. The weather warms up and then after a while the body starts to decompse and you have to chuck the whole thing in the river.
KJK.
You shouldn't be carrying bodies around in your trunk all winter Kate.

I didn't! I don't know HOW it got in there!

No difference here, my 01 Cobra is for looking pretty, going fast and making ricers wish they hadn't revved their fart pipe mufflers at me, my YJ is for looking ugly, getting through stuff no car can (or should) go through, and taking all the rain, road salt and sand the Mustang shouldn't be subjected to.
I can't think of two vehicles that compliment each other better.
thats why I have a TJ and a 5.0 coupe!
