Excellent video! We have had our 2001 Jeep for over 9 years and it's still going and in great shape. We recently had the headliner replaced because it had started to fall down. After I drove it for a few years we passed it on to our eldest son when he got his license. Tell Frankie we said hello :-)

We had 4 kids so we needed a large station wagon. I laughed when you call the vehicle a 'grocery getter'. The kids use to call the station wagon the same thing. I watch you because you remind me of my late husband. He was a carpenter, too. A real one, like you. He would figure things out and always worked alone.
