We want two Wrangler!

050_SF-J1-Helico We just forgot that it is Sunday, September 2, and that everything is closed. Tour of the city and Alcatraz, while spotting the Jeep to sell along the roadside. We have to stop in a “Star Buck Cafe” to “refuel our Jeep” our documentation being obsolete as we changed our target, we must now look for TJ instead of YJ. Preferably, with a motorized 4.0 L for horses and torque. Monday morning, September 3, 2007 - we go away more motivated than ever in search of our Jeep. Bad luck, it is a public holiday in the state of California and most vendors are closed and telephone calls to private persons remain unanswered. The few answers we get inform us that the Jeep are sold. Sigh, huge sigh. Suddenly a call, the Jeep is still there! Hope. It’s a TJ, three inches raised, but it has only got four cylinders. We inspect the Jeep. No, it does not seem to match our criteria and after the test, the transfer case is blocked. We thank our host and leave head-hanging. What a pain to find a Jeep. We analyse the situation. After a day, nothing in sight. There are still three days left before we give back the rental car. Motel, eat and sleep. Tomorrow will be another day.
