Hello everyone. My name is Jen & I own a 1991 Eddie Bauer. I purchased her back in 4/06. Yes I'm a newbie but I love her. She needed a little TLC when I bought her but it was worth it.
When I bought her she smelled of dog & had dog fur all over her cloth interior. She needed all new brake lines & drums not to mention an alignment. Her accelerator cable was disconnected & had a dead battery.
Since I've bought her I have done all necessary repairs, put in a new stereo/cd player, cleaned her every week inside & out including trying to restore her glossy exterior, installed vent guards & a cute bumper sticker thats states "Normal people worry me"
I never wanted an SUV but I was in a bind when I bought her but I have grown to love her.
I will pretty much keep her stock but will continue to make her look & drive better everyday.

As soon as she recovers from her latest endeaver in the shop, I will most definately have pictures of her to post. I'm also in the process of trying to get her twin that I saw for sale today.

Ah you figured out the secret. So are you going to drive one X Monday-Thursday, and the other Friday-Sunday? Or drive them every other day? hehe :)

It'll be cool having two X's that look the same. What kind of condition is the other one you are looking at in?

Ya know I never looked at it that way!?!? Well my Eddie has a cloth interior, is a 1991 w/roughly 151k. The other Eddie has leather interior, is a 1992 w/roughly 158k. They look almost identical right down to the rust spots.

Oh, GAWD. Someone's gonna get in trouble here, I can see it. "These guys get that syrup in them, they get all antsy in their pantsy." Anyways, welcome, Jen. You know, if you buy the twin, will you drive them both down the same trails so they get the same battle scars, too? If anything, at least one can make a sweet parts vehicle, right?

Is it me or are the girls that come from NE area. Are so down to earth and know something other than oh my nails bla bla bla or how much $ do you make. Take my wife for instance she know more than me about sports and stuff. We go to and watch redsox games all the time. We watch football ( go bears) and she says oh you car needs something oh go fix it, not you spend to much time on your car, she rulles! she's from Boston!

The worst part of today was I must have laid my butt in a puddle of water as I was under the truck cause after I came inside my whole right butt cheek & thigh was soaked & frozen!!!!

The lack of winter has seriously aggravated me too, but if it couldn't be snow, I'm glad it was rain. I can do without ice storms...they are so dangerous. Seeing the weird winter weather all over the place makes me think of the movie, "The Day After Tomorrow"

Hoping for some snow soon :(

What can I say? I can be either really lazy or really busy. There's no happy medium.
But now all can see my babies. When it's not so freezing I'm gonna give both a good bath. The blue one definately needs it from sitting so long!!!!

Ya, the guy didn't say anything about that missing rocker panel there. I have rims like that on my 2000. Actually I did have rims like that on my '91 for a while.

A majority of the older ones have the same rust spots. All you do is weld some sheet metal on to cover the hole. No biggie

Yeah he said there were only a couple little spots. I guess that's true since if the rocker panel isn't there it's not rust. :rolleyes:

My original Eddie didn't have the rocker panels either. Step rails are better I think anyways

Sure the more the merrier. Both my babies are stock & it's not what's under the hood, it's who's behind the wheel. I'm a b*tch that knows how to drive & have blown many people outta the water in both AT & 5spd. So the challenge is on to who feels to take it on!!
