Well folks it has been about 4-5 years since I last wheeled and at least 3 years since I have driven the jeep on the road (yes I still have my jeep). Sometimes life happens and some things have to go on hold. This past weekend I finally got around to pulled the jeep out of storage and into the garage for some much-needed maintenance and upgrades (shocks, brake upgrade, fluids, OBA, rattle can touch up and a good cleaning). Not sure if I will be able to make any runs this season, however, it would be nice to meet up with some familiar faces.

Didn't I read somewhere that the last Jeep built rolled off the assembly line back in late 2006? ;P

Frank - Yes, Cam is a very moody, all knowing 12 year old going into 7th grade. Collecting rocks has turned into collecting broken items and building something out of them, kid will no doubt be an engineer. Tried to get him to help working on the jeep and he told me he would just pay someone to fix his cars. My only hope now is, if I can get his 3 year old sister to help as she doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. Until last week when I drove the jeep out of my pole barn shed to the garage, she really hadn't see the jeep up close. Going to be a treat when she gets to go for a ride with the top off.

Jeff - I do remember! Your girls must be at least in high school?

If possible, as I know there is a member wait list, would love to get a class VI run under my belt... get my tires wet again.

Trying to get the jeep back up and on the road. Currently waiting for the VANCO Big Brake Kit to arrive to finish up.


BTW I see Dave just stepped up to 35's... get the popcorn out!

Hey Amanda! It has been a long time... I think I remember your first run. Believe you were getting either getting married or still boyfriend/girlfriend? Yes, it has been a long time! Do hope you are doing good.. believe you had the Cow colored jeep?

So this week I have been cranking on a soon go-live website for a client and working at night on the jeep. A ton of work, finally upgraded to the Vanco 15" Big Brake Kit and all new brake components for the rear brakes. If all go well, I will be mall crawling the Maine shoreline next week with one over kill mall crawler ;). Cannot thank my wife enough for freeing up my schedule so we can get the Heep back on the road.

Is Kurt, Mark, Jay, Ryan aka Mr MIT, Jon W, John C, Don, Steve & son, and Pat C still kicking around?

Cow!! A cow!!!! I thought more like a police interceptor.. Haha. Yes, first run ever on the power lines and someone lost their tire bead. Yup, remember that. I did get married in 2011 and we have 3 kids now. My jeep is currently down, thinking the starter.

Kurt, Marky, and Jay are still around. Jon and John show up when they can. Don moved. Pat C is always around! Steve & son: doug???? Doug sold his jeep a few years back
