check craigslist.com, you might find something there. your local grocery store usually has those free auto locator books out front, sometimes you can find deals in them.

You need to post pictures, or at least a description, ofthe wife. How else will people know if they want to trade?

well mud she has been spending as much time on here as me lately posting rides.we went around locally asking neighbors to let us post their trucks here and why we wanted to do that. it worked out pretty well except for some strange looks! i think we got like 30 or so to post and as far as i'm concerned they count so we're gettin them up here. she got maybe half done and will finish today. but yeah i guess you got to deal with bith of us now! lol i'm lucky a man, she's into wheelin and lets me spend money on the truck and my bikes.

well chopper, mines a 95 yj i got it for $7000 and a song. you might be able to find one out your way. the tj is a coil set up (like mud has), and he tells me that they ride alot nicer than my yj (leafsprung). either way, if you can find something from like 94 on up, you'll be in good shape.

good deal, that's the way to do it. be sure to look it over real good too. some of the older jeeps (if you go that route) tend to rust bad at the body mount locations. also lift the floor mats, some folks forget to remove the drain plugs untill it's too late.....the floor pan is more of a viewing portal than a floor.

I can tell you a nice vehicle that she would like.  Its a CJ8.  They are a Jeep but have a longer wheelbase with a pick up bed.  Sort of like a blazer.  There are so many different configurations for them.  Go to this page:
