So have you seen the new Jeep ad's that talk about how they build "Dream catchers" and "bread crumbs" and stuff... Kind of a neat ad campaign. Anyway, it got me thinking, what all have you used your rig for that may not fall into the normal use for a vehicle. I haven't had my Jeep long, but so far I have used it for....
Mood lighting / Holiday lighting - For Halloween we set up the lights, and ghosts and stuff, (Nothing like Hooties I am sure!) and then I left the rock lights on flashing red as well. oooooh!!! Spoooooooky Jeep!
Gardening - Yep, used the Jeep for gardening. I had this dead tree bush thing in the front yard. I hacked it up with a hand saw as much as I wanted, then let my son and his friend hack at it a bit. When they got tired of bending over and fighting with it, I asked if they wanted to winch it out with the Jeep. I dont know who was more excited, them or me. Anyway... we wrapped it up, and then I let JT man the remote as we pulled it out.
Firewood breaker thing - So I had this bush tree thing. I may have mentioned it before.... anyway, I had the kids out breaking the branches up. Its funny, you tell the kids not to break something and its broke in an hour. You tell them, break this, and two hours later they are complaining how its hard work. Go figure! ;D So we had this decent size pile of limbs and stuff in the front yard, and the kids are tired of breaking them up... what to do? Drive over them in the Jeep of course.
There was probably about 10K different ways of doing both these things, but none of them would have been as fun.
So how have you used your rig?
