Leaving the Cj world ( For Now )
Ha ha that sounds like a pretty cool way to live.

The only time it is ok to leave the CJ world is when you go get a Willy's truck. There is no drop in cool factor there. My first time up Lions back in Moab in 1993 was with a redneck that has a chevy blazer frame and drivetrain converted under a Willys truck. It was the coolest damn I ride have ever seen at the time and he was driving across country by himself to wheel all the popular spots in the west. He even had striped coveralls with the sleeves cut off and a mullet and worked at a beer plant. This dude was hardcore.
