Risk Analysis: Healthy Risk VS Unhealthy Risk

[Zoom66Participant 57]

I’ve been away on business the past few days and didn’t get a chance to followup till now. But these are all excellent replies I enjoyed reading. I can tell some extensive thoughts went into this and the result is I definitely learned some new personal approaches for myself. Thanks for the great input fellas, this was an important one for me.

And I’m still triggered by the ‘Jeep’ comment by the OP from three days ago:

Seriously –

On the first leg of my winter road trip, I drove 23 hours STRAIGHT from 2pm on a Wednesday until 1pm the next day (Thursday) stopping for less than 5minutes each time I needed fuel. Pit stop style. No problems.

And that is with a rack/cage system and my living quarters (Smittybilt tent system) on top of it.

Ive spent more nights than I can count driving off road to secluded areas between ridges in the desert to set up the tent system in peace – Like areas normal vehicles cannot access.

I slammed into TWO deer going 70mph in January at 4am.

Got my Jeep back 19 days later covered by insurance and the shop manager told me any other vehicle would have been totaled.

I had to get a new alternator three weeks ago:

Yep. Replaced it in the parking lot of an O’Reillys in under half an hour after I bought a new one and walked back in with the old one to get the core refund.

My tires cost $268 each – And there is a reason why. BF Goodrich Mud Terrain. Choke on that.

I even had a manual radiator fan switch installed on my dash that bypasses the ECM – So I can flip it Mad Max style when I need it going up a hill or in certain conditions so I don’t have to rely on an auto thermal switch to have it kick on.

And the list of other total-A kicking things about it is long.

Yeah. . .

We can talk about Jeeps all day.

Let me know when you have a Mobilized Sky-HQ on top of your vehicle that can be set up anywhere the Jeep can access OFF ROAD in under ten minutes.

And furthermore, I really hope the reference to ‘Jeep’ was primarily focused on Jeep Liberty, Patriot & Cherokee because I know there is no way that it could even remotely refer to Jeep Wranglers (YJ, JK, TJ, XL) –

I’m willing to chill on some level if/when anything derogatory regarding Jeep is ever mentioned in the forum again as long as a disclaimer is stated (in the post) that excludes the Wrangler model in the reference.

Anything that can bring pain has risk, as the end game is usually more loss than gain.

Real risk is where you lose the option of breathing anymore. Usually those kind of situations are not worth the chance. Ending up in a situation where you wish you were dead — is even worse than that worse.

"Women have become so full of hatred that they are blind to reason and humanity. That which they practice will be the end of humanity, long before any war that men may fight.." "Women are predators by nature. Why else do you think they are so quick to gang up and go after a man they hate for showing any sign of weakness?"
