Brad,
Make sure you are in simulation mode...turn off any auto assist options.

BTW come out tomorrow and ride.

I looked at your link and had to laugh. I was in Pennsylvania last year for a Jeep Jamboree and witnessed a Sheetz gas station for the first time. I just about pissed myself the first time me and my wife saw it. I turned to her and thought... Sheets - More than just gas!!!

It was in Hazleton PA, but in 2005.

I see you work for 4-wheeler mag. Have you driven the new wrangler? What do you think. I have been holding out on buying a new jeep for 2 years to wait for the new 4-door style, but now I think I may go with the Toyota FJ instead. I 4-wheel much less now and am towing a boat quite often.

Yep, I was one of the first, just got back from testing them in Africa. I have an article coming up in JP magazine, and my FW editor wrote a review for Four Wheeler. Other than being a bit bigger and slightly underpowered, they are better than the TJ in almost every way, especially the Rubicon package - it is flat out amazing. The four door (I ws the first journalist to see it in person!) is nice, 5-pass capability, but IMHO too long for the trail, should be 110-in WB instead of 116-in, but with the right rocker protection it'll go anywhere the two-door will. I am not a fan of the FJ, no personality. Feels like another Toyota appliance, and while the front styling is dead-on, the rear leaves much to be desired, but it does pretty good off-road, but it isn't a Wrangler.

im not trying to be a dick, but there are a few things ive noticed about this board and this is a prime time to call them out - why not put something like this in a more general section besides the XB section?
same goes for the water coooled thread, should be in a more general Buell section, not just XB

Because your asking of something even yourself is guilty of. We all are. Got my point!!!

bads1 - onthe "got my point!!!" part, is that a question or a statement. you said it as a statement and it doesnt make any sense.
plus, ive never asked about something off the wall before.
only thing thats remotely like that would be the cafe racer thread in which i put it in the tuber section.

buellfirebolt31 - explore more of the site, not just one section.

ummmm. let see. okay, step one to breaking a belt? (1) hold the front brake, stand up so you're not sitting on the seat, rev the engine, let out the clutch...tires a spinin' now. keep control of the clutch! slowly release the brake.... now you're rolling. heehee smoke is cool. this also should fall under the category of how to destroy stock dunlop sport max tires!

Here, let me join your hijacked thread, my current ride...that only gets dirt time (gas is too expensive for daily driver).

I like the FJ. Not as much as the wrangler but I need to tow. I'll make a decision when I can see the 4-door. They should be out in a month or so. Here one more pic since yours was so nice. This is Moab last fall.
