Thanks for posting the pics. Looks like you all had a blast and looks like your rig does well on the trails.

the tires are awesome they have about a 1000-2000 miles on them and show little to no wear and are super sticky on the rocks. cant complain at all.

Tough times in the Jeep club. Thus no wheeling. I have a friend that has been in the ICU for almost 3 weeks, thoughts and prayers appreciated.




Also have another friend that lost his rig due to his now ex girlfriend wrecking it. The jeep known as seafoam is now dead.



A jeep called Nacho Libre has started to rise from its ashes.




For my personal transportation another red wagon has currently stole my heart and my wallet.



Its reasonably fast and twice as good on gas.

The cherocar will just be getting the love it needs for another season of wheeling, hopefully a little more armor and some more time out on the trail this season.

Good Jeeping everyone!

Updates. We lost Crispy an awesome but emotional send off to a great man.




Nacho's first ride was to the funeral. Of course Boneyard had to stack on it asap.

Signed up for a trail ride hosted by Built Not Bought. Wicked fun NEA trail in northern Mass.








Jeep did awesome, but I did push it through an awkward off camber squeeze and ended up with some body damage.

I found a couple of your posts when I was looking into purchasing a set of Dick Cepek Extreme Country tires. Looks like you're putting them good use. My set should come in some time this week.

Sorry to hear about your recent loss.

Thanks for the love. Haven't had much time for the Jeep, but the wheeling juices are starting to come up again. Had some time today to show her a little TLC so I washed it. Funny how good it can still look after all the trails and abuse.



on the agenda hopefully more sooner than later. Is to install this bad larry.





XJ 44 that somebody botched TJ mounts on. The goods, its got 4.56's in it with a detroit locker and a riddler diff cover. So a regear up front will be in order.

Also have this kicking around for a just in case.




and the family has gotten bigger. Meet the new wheeling buddy, Maestro!
