Main Topic: Family Wheeler
Greg,
I have owned a few jeeps, 84 CJ7, 97TJ, and 03TJ. These rigs were great wheeling rigs for when I had no kids. Now with three kids, I want to take them out wheeling. What are a few great family rigs that you have seen out there. I am leaning toward the almighty JK but looking at the high startup cost. So what are some other great wheelers that you and your dodge loving bro would suggest? Keep it real and get out there.

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.
