You make it sound like a bad thing. Its not. One to cheer you up.

Funny, I remember almost every one of those pics. lol

You haven't been doing the photography stuff much anymore have you?

Didn't you have some in the snow or was that somebody else?

Yea, not much photography since working in my new position. I kind of miss it.

Hmmm....snow....

Got it.

Ditto. Thanks. I got enough car issues as it is.

Not going to lie. Seeing you all in jeeps and posting pics would be pretty fun.

It'd be awesome, but if I'm buying an SUV it needs to be able to tow the Miata first, off roading will be a secondary concern.

Shouldn't be a problem with the 4L I6. Plenty of torque.

was thinking something with a V8...

And I'm seeing most people put the towing limit at about 2000-3000lbs for the Cherokee

How much towing are you looking to do? Most agile and reliable Jeeps are the I6. The v8's tend to have more issues. and add a lot of unnecessary weight.

Miata weighs about 2200lbs and figure a trailer weighs about 1000 more so there's 3000lbs before any tools, luggage and other equipment. I need something with a reliable 5000-6000lbs capacity.

needs moar LSX

Looks like you need a truck then. Why cant you just drive the Miata around on its own? Trailer queen much?

It's fully street legal and there's no problem driving to track days. I just don't want to be 1.5 to 3 hours from home with a broken car.

Funny you should say that since that has always been my fear about going off-roading as well haha.

That is why you carry tools/replacement parts with you that are known to break when you go, and you never go alone.

Well I feel that with off-roading it's a little bit easier to ensure you don't have a mechanical failure or an accident by picking your trail carefully and since the speeds are much lower. With a track day the speed makes things a little more unpredictable.

I hate people. My point of going out there would be in a large part to be by myself. So yeah I'll stick to running and biking out there
