members with last name of Sears

Hi, I am Dan. I wanted a YJ when I bought my first car, but my mom said it was too dangerous and wouldn't co-sign for a death trap. In college I had my first test drive in a Jeep, my older brother and I rented a TJ in the San Juan Triangle in Colorado, and I was foaming at the mouth to get one, but waited 6 and a half years until I was able to fulfill my dream. Finally, after a little coaxing from my older brother, I jumped the chance to buy a 2005 leftover in Feb. 2006. Since then I have gone down the same bumpy path as all Jeep owners, spend, spend, spend, until my dream is complete or at least satisfactory.

My first Jeep experience was in the mountains of Colorado. My brother (JeepinDan) thought we should rent a Jeep. We had a blast and I have been wanting one ever since but didn't have the means. I went with my brother to Penn's Woods last year and 10 minutes into the trail I made the final decision to buy - I called a friend from the trail that had an XJ for sale and here I am. I use the old thing for my daily driver all fall, winter, & spring. My kids love it - my wife isn't so crazy about it but I could be doing worse things... The lift kit and mudders scare most people where I live in the city and I love it. I'm always looking for a place to ride but have very limited time to do it.
