Well Heather has a girly ride, but when she wants a MANLY ride, up Lion's Back, she does it in the Gnewt!

:P ;D


I *almost* put that in my sig. LOL.

And what is it with you guys saying NO A/C???

I LOVE MINE!! I love it when I'm out wheeling with my buddies, and they want to sit in my truck cause it's 100 degrees out. I'd also suggest you expand your market to include up to a 1995. You'd have more of a chance for getting a 16 valve. There's not many differences. The major change occured in 1996.

I have to agree with the A/C.  I don't have one on my SJ, but it was nice pulling into Moab with a nice A/C cooled cabin on my tow rig.

Besides, you can always convert it over to an Onboard Air setup.  ;D

I don't understand the no A/C thing either. You guys do know it has a button to turn it off, right? With it off the drag is minimal. When it's near 100* and the humidity is in the 90's I really appreciate mine. ;D

The origininator was from Montreal ... A/C == open the window :) I mean how often does Montreal get 100* days?

Even in the PNW, a hot day isn't bad in shade or with top/windows down.

Course a FRIGGIN desert is a different story! So do you really wheel in a desrt with top on and windows up?

(I can see A/C being a good thing ... I just see that in a used rig, it's probably another thing to fix)

Yeah, I have AC on the Gnewt.  I may convert it to On-Board-Air, though.  And the Gnewt is my THIRD 95.

95's are the best Kicks made - fewest failures, most reliable - even the evil Consumer Reports says so.

I'm in the south where the humidity is so high in the summer you could slice it and put it on a biscuit. ;D

Yup.

Here in SW Idaho, it does still get up to the 100's for a week or two in the summer. And between 80-90 for the rest of the time. So, A/C IS nice. Plus, you can stay cool and keep most of the dust out.
;D

About 3-4 days a year TOPS! And on those days, I'd rather find a pool than a trail..

Ok, on the nice to have list but not essential...

What are you, some kind of light-weight?

If the temp's above freezing, I'll wear shorts!

Now let's have a bowl O' grits, and I want a sunny-side-up egg on top of them grits!

Frostbite on me lower bits is not desirable. ;D Grits and eggs are good but I like rice and sunny-side-up eggs, that's Carolina Low-Country Style.
