Here is the real reason that I needed to fit the Jeep in the garage. I picked it up last night and have been cleaning it since. I haven't washed the outside since it's going to rain, but the inside needed some serious attention.
It's a 1997 Chevy Tahoe LT. Leather, power seats, power windows, power locks, AM/FM/Cassette/CD, running boards, 40/60 split rear bench seat, tailgate instead of doors, etc....
The Jeep is no longer my daily driver. I know what your thinking. How's the mileage on that thing? Well, believe it or not, it's better than the Jeep. It gets about 17mpg and the Jeep was getting 12 to 15mpg. We'll also be able to keep some miles off of Mel's Jeep. We were piling them on pretty good over the winter with my Jeep not having any heat. So this will be our main auto for road trips, and just running around on the weekends. We're heading to Al's cabin with it this weekend and then to Bemidji with it next weekend. I might even see how it does towing my Jeep, for our next off roading adventure.

Fun! I love Tahoes! I have a strong Chevy affiliation, but they have always served me very well. As long as you maintain them the right way, you can drive them forever.
This one has been well maintained. The mechanic said that it should have no problem running to 200,000 miles. Just a little rough on the interior. I got it pretty clean though. I'm a Chevy fan as well. The Jeep is more of a toy than a daily driver type a vehicle.
Yeah!!!
Hmmm...If you need me to pick you up from your roadside breakdown, I have a good Ford for the task!!
Nice ride, dude!
Pppptttthhhhhh........Ford....They found the problem and circled it. LOL
