Tony_M,
Look in the photography forum, I think its right above the trucks and 4X4 forum. In this photo forum, the top of the list is a sticky and it shows how to post pics. Really easy.
Me is truckless but been looking for something for a while. Prolly will get a Taco before the end of the year.
Let us know if you still have problems.

To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.

The current 03 Jeep GC. It's history next weekend to be replaced by an 08 4Runner. It's a true POS having gone through $7K in unplanned maintenance in 93K miles. Had a prior 91 standard Cherokee and a 95 Grand that were good trucks. Just have to assume that Jeep is pretty much done in. Issues: Front brakes and rotors at 30K Driver side seat heat at 40K Both hatch struts shot at 45K All four shocks leaking and replaced at 50K both rear bushings shot at 50K Plastic surrounding shifter snapped in two at 60K drivers side air duct broken at 75K (requiring disassembly down to the firewall) Glove box latch came off in my hand at 90K requiring replacement of whole door assembly Constant clunk from left front backing out of driveway (not ball joint I think) Constant grinding from rear that goes away f you flush and fill differential every 15K Hopefully the Toy will be better, can't be much worse. ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/gaepps/Allenbuck05.jpg)

Pugs ... on the bright side, buying a Taco employs many Americans since they're made here!!! Almost like buying American.

The sad part on the Jeep is it wasn't a lemon. The build quality was fine. Even today it's quiet and has no odd rattles or other noises. The problem is stuff simply wearing out long before it should. Brake rotors, hatch struts, climate control doors, shocks, bushing etc, stuff that was planned to be obsolete so it could be replaced. I won't be party to it and bad engineering.

Well, went and did it. Finn the Wonderlab approves ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/gaepps/L1000989.jpg) Atlas gray that looks bluish. Looking forward to a little off-road driving this next week when I head to the farm for deer season. ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/gaepps/L1000991.jpg)
