I love the old shirt designs!
 
its crazy to think 04' was a decade ago
 
I worked on junk today. I think I had mostly the same attitude but no Dave. :(

I talked to Opie on the telephone. :)

I was going to post a picture but the thing said no. :fangers:
 
Phil's rig, with a full roof, full passenger door, and a broken D30 pinion yoke, was in that state for Rubicon in June, 2006.

I was going to post a picture but the thing said no. :fangers:

I'll post one (or a few) for you.

I am digging the nostalgia right now.
 
Full body, no glass was a great time for me. You know what they say, "I wish I had that one back."

Maybe a driver mirror and a real front locker though. And round tires. And 'Con monkeys.
 
Nick mobbed that Jeep, and then Gus mobbed that Jeep, just to be sure! They couldn't believe it the first time. That was awesome.
 
How about 2007?


Jan 13, 2007, Phil needed new ball joints. And wanted full doors with glass, so we put my 2 door doors on his rig, and drove to Fresno to do ball joints with Scrappy and Ben H.

Then went up to bald mountain to go snow wheeling - but first, some red sled of death.

Scrappy had a rig, with a cage that was originally an internal cage, and gave phil a ride.

Phil decided a cage was in order. Scrappy thought we could do it in a weekend. We borrowed Billy's (JeepFreek21) bender and welder. I think Phil also bought a welder.

So we built an 'inside out' cage in march.

cut off the roof -

I guess Phil did wheel? Con 2006.

Mad flex, showing off for the ladies


I think he made it up?


That doesnt look like Phil?


Hmm, those look like rain clouds....


Remind me why I took the windows and hatch off?


Man, this is a lot of fun. I love when it rains!


Flooding of the camp site. Seem to recall being rather wet, and then everything drying out. There was also some sort of shenanigans around the camp fire, possibly randoms showing up and causing trouble?


*I take no credit for most of those pictures. Based on the img tags, I stole most of them. :D
 
Look, yellow shafts!


Happy Birthday?


* Again, no idea who actually took these. They were in the same folder as the previous pictures, figured they should be added for.... nostalgia?
 
Wheeling pics from any time is great! Thanks for sharing.
