Anyone an AAA member?

I used to have it growing up and haven’t in my adult hood. However owning the Jeep and my wife’s car having over 80k now, I keep thinking about picking it up again and plan to this month
The tow company came out of Hood River Ore. , it may have been a slow day and they wanted the money.

I've been binging his videos lately. A ton of fun, he's super respectful of everyone he pulls out and watching some of the stuff his jeep does is pretty impressive.
The last time I was involved in getting a rig to a place where AAA would hook it up we had to get to pavement. The tow operator wouldn't go onto the forest service road intersecting the highway. However, he had no problem towing my buddy's rig 245 miles to his house.
It's an impressive rig. I haven't seen too many XJs on tons. He seems like a great guy.

Been a member since 1974. Worth every penny. The biggest advantage is when travelling and not having a clue who to trust. One call and they find and send someone.
Plus Auto Clubs offer great deals on Travel Insurance. When I leave Canada, being a Senior, Health Care expenses can be astronomical. With BCAA all inclusive International Travel Insurance is $35 a day for me.
Since they partner with gas companies some years my BCAA membership is 75% off due to points from buying gas at Husky Stations.
Yes, we do it all the time. Your AAA won't cover the "off highway" portion but the drive to the trail head and home will be covered. We charge $75 an hour off highway. Highway includes forestry service roads, but not logging roads etc.
If you have a trailer, get the RV Plus which will include towing your trailer.
As a jeeper I think you have to be willing to spend some coin if things go wrong.

Have a AAA w my family. Towed my Jeep home when I had issues with my fuel pump & short.
I also have Geico, which provides roadside and towing with my plan @$5 a month.

It's amazing to read how many people get such value out of it. I guess the math is different for everybody. With $150 roadside from my insurance company and the tow limits on AAA the gap which it would be helpful for towing is pretty small for me. I'd have spent well over a thousand on membership at this point, don't mind having that in my pocket instead of the magazine.
I had a flatbed tow truck driver contracted to AAA refuse to drive down 7 miles of washboard gravel road. Claimed it would be too hard on his equipment. Total bullshit. But I had already contacted a buddy to come tow my boat so he ended up dragging the truck to where the tow driver would load me then he went back for the boat.
