Ken, I have owned two M-series military jeeps and two Ford 15cwts, as well as four civilian jeeps. The last one of the latter is all I have right now, a militarized 2003 TJ. It's all I have the space and money for at the moment, but I'm quite happy with the old girl... she drives like a dream.

Over the years I've actually driven everything from an MB to a Sherman tank as well as just about everything M-series.

Yep, I think so. She's set up just right, and I have the olive drab soft top for her too. I just need to get a set of half-doors for the summer.

You HAD to ask, Pinky. For when the world goes to hell in a handcart, of course! You've got your Fox, but I'm going to have to fight my way out of the Republik of Tronna to get to our Sanctuary. Once there, I'll be able to act as hi-speed recce as well as the lead vehicle of the Mobile Response Force against any Urban Incursions. Tsk-tsk... I thought you had that figgered out...
