Our Three Jeeps

Do we like Jeeps?
Oh Yeah!!!
The Cherokee we had the longest, 14 years.
The Liberty we had 3 years.
The Wrangler we just bought.
The Cherokee and Liberty have been gone a few years now and are good memories, so we needed to get another one.
The right capture was taken with my Nikon D70s.
