"What the hell is a toad Billy Bob". Well, if'n ya ain't got a motorhome, toad is meaningless to ya. But if you just so happen to own a motorhome an' travel, you should already know what a freak'n toad is. Think of "towed" an' "toad". They kind of sound bout the same don't they? A toad is a vehicle towed behind a motorhome....for the convenience of go'n to Walmart when ya need groceries an' "stuff". I suppose ya could use a toad for other purposes too. But anyhows, all a toad is is a spare vehicle you tow behind a motorhome.
For all those that have been following this blog, ya probly know more about "that jeep" than ya need to know. It's a POS....that's all ya need to know at this time. I've replace almost every gald darn part on that car....an' it's still a POS. For two years I been look'n for a replacement for that....POS. I think I may have found one.
This is a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It's already set up as a "toad" with a brand spank'n new tow bar base plate. One item I wouldn't have to buy (bout $600 installed).
Just in case ya want to go take a look, here's the addy.

Before ya get all excitis an' all that stuff, I ain't quite made up my mind yet. Just look'n at that thing, I'm think'n it may be a bit too classy for a old redneck like me. Shit, I would be strut'n my stuff all over town. You should'a see me when I bought a Jaguar. Drive around town wear'n hunnert dollar sunglasses. Then there's the $$$$ thing. Do I really want to spend that much just so's I can go to Walmart in style? The POS "that jeep" has enough style for any Walmart I ever been to. Last but not least, it weighs too much....it's fat. Bout 400 pounds or so more than "that jeep". There are no diet pills for Jeeps.
Yesterday, me an' the OFM Barney play a round of golf. A good round too. So good that we gonna play another round tomorrow morn'n. Damn I like Mexican food.
Ok, I got to go somewheres. Probly gonna pick me up some pocket change in case I go to Spring, Texas this weekend. See ya laters.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is my all time favorite vehicle! That's a pretty one. I love Mexican food too, but find I just don't want it since my operation. Maybe some day.

I don't know BB I went from a Jeep Cherokee Sport to the Grand and man will you ever know it behind you. I think the book shows it weight bout 1000lbs more. I don't think you can beat Sport for all down towing if you meet me on I 10 in Fla I would buy your POS just leave the base plate on it.
ReplyDeleteHave ya ever try to find a Spot for sale after Obama's disaster with "cash for cars"?
DeleteNo Joey, you don't want "that jeep". I'm afraid the next thing to go out will be the tranny. Plus, "that jeep" weighs 3800 pounds....naked.
My toad is an older Jeep Liberty. I just took it in today for service (oil change, etc.). Not counting towed miles it only has 50,000 miles. Although it is a 2004, it is still running as smooth has a kitten's purr.
ReplyDeleteWell let me see Dizzy. Can ya carry a boat in that Jeep Liberty? A couple batteries? A hunnert horsepower troll'n motor? Tackle boxes an' fish'n poles? A set of golf'n clubs? And still have room to pile 20 bags of groceries? An' don't forget a fat dawg (Sadie Mae) gotta fit in there too. Didn't think so. That's why I have no desire to own a Jeep Liberty.
DeleteYikes Billy Bob. That"new" to you Jeep has 150.000 miles on it. 4 times around the world. 25 times round trip new York to Los Angeles and back again. A mite long in the tooth.

"Bout 400 pounds or so more than "that jeep". There are no diet pills for Jeeps."
ReplyDeleteLol :D
I do not know the first thing about "toads" except that if you own an RV you should consider having one, unless you like unhooking your home just to go to the store or to tour the area you are currently in.
It is a nice looking vehicle. While in Spring, Texas can you swing by my house?
While you're in Spring, you, Dizzy, and Hermit Jim should all really get together - boy the stories would fly, i'm bettin'! Bring along Ms B to keep things purty, and a good day would be had by all.....
ReplyDeleteJust a thought.............
Nice looking Toad but maybe a bit too heavy for your rig???
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty nice to me! Always wanted a jeep or a Land Rover!
ReplyDelete400 pounds, the equivalent of an obese wife but a lot less expense.
