What's so great about that? Nobuhiro Tajima did it a couple of years ago in a little over 10 minutes ...............
I wouldn't last 5 minutes trying to go up that mountain in anything not powered by an internal combustion engine. But, I am pretty good at drinking beer.

Is it just me, or are there a LOT more JKs running around town? Saw a white 2dr, running no spare, blacked out stock rims, and what looked like PIAA headlights (very blue looking) cruising down Hwy 20 in Madison this morning. And at least 4-5 more. Including Justin rolling with no doors. Seems like every red light I stop at, I see a JK. They are all taunting me ..............


I like the chop on that Red Rock Sahara posted above. Hmmmmm ........ since I am waiting on the engine and transmission, I have some free time, a sawzall, and some masking tape. Bwwwaaaaaahhhhaaaahaaaaaa

Well the reason you see me so much Anthony is we live like right next to each other. And I'm loving the chopped sahara fenders as well. If I ever get tires (one day lol) I'm chopping mine up.

Have fun on Barr Trail. Cori finished the Ascent (the race from Manitou Springs Trailhead to top of Pikes Peak) Saturday in a little over 5 hours. She was disappointed because she did it in a little over 4 hours last year, but she wasn't able to train for this one.
I assume you were heading home and have already driven past Little Rock... if not and you are still out there in R-Kansas, come on by and have a beer!

Your supposed to wash your soft top??

I normally just let the rain wash mine. The rare case where I do wash it (when removing it for the hard top-winter season, or when putting it back on @ spring time) I just use regular car washing soap and a sponge.

Also to hell with all the stuck up people driving TJ's and JK's that I wave at and all I get is a turned up nose........I guess some people don't appreciate being part of this way of life, driving a Jeep
