I've learned alot about jeeps since JF, so I believe with the next build, I am sticking to strong, well know American companies and not that Smittybilt Chinese crap. It will most likely be for use in Arrowhead snow, but fun to cruise on a warm day.
And as far as finding a house, we have narrowed the search to 23 houses, but as soon as I start really liking them, another one pops up, for a cheaper price. My realtor said to take my time, because prices are still dropping rapidly.
