yeah mike, i hang out with joe, the georges, eddie, edward, and juan when he was still around. i now roll in an 07 jk sahara unlimited. its still stock but next month i am lifting regearing and running either 35's or 7's. i used to roll in a 99 tj and before i rolled in a 94 yj, both lifted locked and geared on 35's. i also fixed up george's baby blue 82 cj and know i have an 84 cj as well w/ 3/4 ton chevy axles dana 44 and 14 bolt (welded rear and locked front) w/ 4.10 gears turning 36" tsl's. i did a 4.0 motor swap out of a 93 yj with 94 yj springs set up soa. i also installed a 95 family style cage witch has been tied to the frame and i added structural supports throughout the cage. i am running a 15 g fuel cell in the cargo area and built a front stubby bumper with clevis mounts, stinger and winch. also built a matching rear bumper with swing out tire carrier.

Default wheeling

we mainly wheel on hwy 48 just past the port before the fishing pier on the hwy. we get off the road right when the concrete hwy divider starts just to the right. we go in up to the flat spots and wheel off to the right. their is a massive runoff their and we traverse the crevases through out their.

pretty kewl pic there. I wish my jeep would have been in the pic as well. Hey, I just got back from Cozumel, Mexico and saw lots of jeeps, but none were with lifts. I just kept thinking of my jeep. Cozumel was awesome and hope to go back again. Hey, when do you all get together off of HWY 48

I wish I would have made it but I was sick and in bed all day. Maybe next Sunday if you all go. Do you all hit SPI afterwards just to kill time?
