   I can't believe it.  Those COE's are selling their soles for bale out money. 

Just what the country needs....a 2WD Rubicon.

	Don't know anything about selling to International, but one of the conditions of Chrsler getting the bale out money is ending 4-wheel drive production after the 2010 model year. I guess 2WD will still be made, but who wants a 2WD Rubicon?

	Well John has always wanted a Yota. The article I read didn't say that they were going to stop producing 4x4 jeeps. It said that they were working on a hybrid two wheel drive jeep, and that they would evenutally start working on a hybrid 4x4 jeep. This is the article I found... http://www.automobilemag.com/green/news/0901_2010_jeep_wrangler_unlimited_ev/index.html People will demand a 4x4 jeep, and if they can't see the 2WDs then they will find a way to make them 4x4s.

	That 4x4 CJ is going to be worth a lot of money unless Obama makes us all retro-fit our jeeps back to 2wd.

	Over my dead body ... It's only a 2WD when I spin a hub...the axle upgrades are almost done. We are just finishing the rear disk break conversion. Hopefully, I won't break the one piece shafts.
