Alright,
I found a new spot to wheel out by my college. Old railroad land and a bunch of quad, dirtbike and 4x trails. Theres some good stuff back there, mostly just good for getting mud on my way to class. but there is some fun stuff to explore. theres a river that runs through it, and the other day my buddy and i went down by the river to see what was down there and if we could cross it. when we got there we saw a TJ wrangler down by the water, and hurried over to see if it was stuck. well, it was, but more perminently that we thought. it looks like it was stolen a while back, joy ridden, tried to cross when the river was high (if you could see where they tried to cross, you'd know the river had to be high) and they got in over their heads and ditched it. it's been rolled, and vandalized, so there is nothing left usable on the body or interior. it has no wheels, but the axles, frame and 4.0/ax15/np231 drivetrain are all still there and complete. nobody has taken anything from under the hood except the battery and air filter. If the frame is straight and the engine is not siezed, i'd like to try and recover it. my buddy and i are talking about getting our hi-lifts there, lifting it up, throwing some wheels/tires on it, and trying to haul it out. if we can, it would be awesome to throw it on a dolley and tow it home. only question is, if its stolen...are we stealing too? its obviously going to rot there the rest of its life, or if someone does get it out, it'll go to the crusher. only thing im really worried about is being linked with the original stealing...maybe they'll think we are coming back for it. not something i want to go to court over, but i'd definately argue with anyone over it who challenged me, if it meant i get a project rock buggy wrangler =D anyways, let me know what you think. im going back on wednesday to have another look, i'll take pics and post them, just for kicks. and no, i'm not telling you where it is!!
