Santa added to our collection of Jeeps by bringing us a new 2019 WK Grand Cherokee. It has all the bells and whistles for the wife to enjoy as her daily driver. It has the 5.7 hemi and trail rated package and a number of other packages to make for a trouble free mall crawling experience.
We had to pull all the Jeeps out for a photo shoot 'line-up'. It looks like we are keeping up with the Oh's.... lol

No, it's a dust collector in my shop, to much personal history/memories to get rid of it. Had dreams of 'down grading' it to a nice rock crawler but Jeep came out with the JK and totally shot that ambition... but I just retired and it's back on the 'to do' list now with more time on my hands. I last raced it in '92 as the local race group stopped due to the economy and my career took off and left no time to chase after the big boys in SCORE. For the photo, I pulled the carb and did a quick cleaning and change out the old gas in the fuel cell, dropped in a battery and started it up and drove it out of the shop.

I get that! Hopefully you get it back to road/trail worthy and get to run it around in your retirement!
