Well, I had to know. I did the baja thing and then decided to do the Jeep thing. Current plans now are to fix the latest breakage of the Jeep (busted front U-joint) and then sell it. I've decided I'm not a "Jeep guy." Next offroad project is going to be aircooled... but... it'll be a dirt-bike. I think that'll be fun, but a lot of the fun I have with the offroading stuff is taking the pictures and sharing the stories. I don't see that happening much with the dirt bike so I think that a few months after the novelty of the dirt bike wears off it will be time to look into getting another capable offroad vehicle, and it won't be a Jeep. I'm thinking something light, with a simple suspension and engine that would be easy to work on. Something I'm familiar with. Hmmm...
OT You read it here... first.

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. -- Oxford University Press, Edpress News
You're going to get an old Suzuki Samarai?

. Be sure to post some pics when you get it trail-worthy.
One part of your stories have been your children offroading with dad and enjoying the ride. Getting a dirt bike will lessen their = possibilities=20 to enjoy. Standing on the ground beside the track: "Look there is daddy driving behind that hill and splashing dirt. I think I almost saw him."=20 The same time they could be on the back seat of your off-road ACVW,=20 cheering you to show to those puddles and hills of doom... ;)

Unless he gets 3 dirt bikes. Wait - that's sexist. What would it be? -
5? -BaH
I've already thought this through. Each kid already has their own bicycle. I figure I can weld a piece of rebar to the back of my dirt-bike and then buy a rope for maybe $20 and cut it into 4 equal lengths and use those lengths of rope to connect each bicycle to the rebar rod I have welded to my dirt-bike and then just tow them all along on the trail. We could play "Let's see who drops first!" or "Let's see who gets tangled in the ropes and gets dragged on the trail!" and other fun games like that. That's just me. Always thinking about the kids.
