The end of the road for the daily driver.

Thank you so much guys!
I use a Canon 7D. It's a mid-range SLR, but it has a magnesium body and is waterproof. Seals out against the dust and dirt very well, and I can shoot in the rain.
Many of those pics, though are just with my iPhone. I'm amazed the quality you can get out of those things these days.
Honestly the interior was off-putting to me at first, but now I love it.
Very true about the Jeep Wrangler. Mine is a 2000 TJ. Never had any other trouble with it except when the engine went out which is a biggie. Maybe it will be good to go for a long time now.
One thing I like is being able to change the oil and filter myself without even having to lift it! But it hates the open road and it reminds you that that isn't it's strong suit. The contrast is good though.

Well, she's at the shop.



I should know something by the end of the day.
Thanks to everyone again for their support!

Not to go too far off topic but as a 2nd vehicle the Wrangler is a nice choice.
I do like mine for the open road as well and that kind of driving requires Cruise Control, and I lower the front tire pressure a bit so that it tracks straight with less steering effort.
I've done a number of long distance Wrangler trips (Socal to St Pete's, FL & towing a trailer back ~3,200mi)(Socal to Il and towing stuff back)(Socal to Ut and towing stuff back) with it and found it comfortable to drive 12 hrs/day no problem.
It tows trailers loaded up to its own weight (I know its over the specified rating) at 70mph without issue. A real workhorse.
