A Shop Is Charging This Guy $48,000 For Towing His Old Jeep

Joel Ramer and his girlfriend got stuck off-roading this old Jeep Cherokee on a powerline road in Walpole, Massachusetts last week. Seems egregious that he was arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace, but the $48,000 recovery charge is downright offensive.

It’s unclear whether Ramer got slapped with a trespassing charge aftercalling for help, or if somebody spotted and busted him while he was screwing around in the mud. And yeah, you can be jailed for that in Massachusetts.

But after Walpole PD rolled up on him Fox25 says the cops called what is presumably their go-to recovery outfit, Assured Collision, to pull the mired vehicle out.

After spending twelve hours on the job, Assured Collision lugged the Jeep XJ to their facility. Ramer went to collect it and was given a bill for $48,000 instead.

Episode 62 – SEMA Prep, Rare Parts and Fun
Jeff keeps talking about a new rig and needing more room in his rig for people. Thinking you need to swap everything from your truck to a old full framed cherokee. (Gotta have the cherokee love) you will get more room for people and the back is almost the same size as your bed and keeps tools out of the weather. With rear seats folded down you could sleep in it. And you can keep proving people wrong when they say your to big and won’t make it! Don’t slip into the jk trap! (Love the jk just to many of them out there) vote Jeff in a cherokee for 2016!!! Lol

FSJ/SJ (full size cherokee) would be good but I think he should go for something even more odd-ball. Options that come to mind include the Jeepster Commando (similar dimensions to an LJ), Plymouth Trail Duster (similar idea to the SJ), or possibly midsize crew cab pickup (dakota or frontier seem to be the most reasonable $ wise). I prefer the look of classic vehicles but part of that is being in california and how strict the emissions compliance is. What is more important to Jeff, interior comfort or lack of emissions requirements?

Hey Greg and Jeff.

Love the show. Lots of good information. I signed up a couple weeks ago and have listened to all your episodes. Whew that took some time. I haven’t really heard anything about engine and or performance mods. My question is what is your guys’ take on cold air intakes, snorkels, tuners and anything performance wise. I have a 2013 rubicon. I know it has the better engine in it but I’m sure the factory doesn’t make this motor into what it could be just curious what you guys opinions are on tweaking these motors to get more out of them.
Thanks
Jmaes

When you talk about rig requirements for trail runs( need 35s and a locker etc.) is that just a baseline to give an idea what to expect? What I mean is, a mega cab dodge on 35s isnt gonna get around as easy as a cj-2a on 35s. I guess u could call it tire to rig ratio or something. Haha
I’ve got an urge to build an old willys rig and wondered if I would be ok with smaller tires since the wheelbase and width is so small.

Love the show, and ranch on my pizza
