Back in the day....

Here is my first love: all flexed up, circa 1996. And a year later when 33x12.5s and RS9000 were a good setup. Chop Shop, where is the 3rd one taken?

I have personally seen this jeep....by far one of the sickest jeeps ever.:awesomework:

That Jeep is super nice. Brady drove it to Virginia 4 days after I completed a 18 month build. The logo on the dash is CNC engraved. I even took the frame to Canada to have it acid dipped and phosphate coated, I did all this under a Costco tweaker tent in my driveway, after work.

Here is a pic of "Mad Dog" Brady and the frame upside down for finish welding.

Here is Dean Detweiler, owner of Bent Metal Customs. He built this Jeep the same time I was building the Scrambler. Now some guy in Nevada owns it.

I was mowing the yard when he came over, so I flexed the John Deere on the stump too..

My girlfriend drove into a water hole this deep new years night (2004?), the headlights went under, so she backed out.

I dug some up from 2001....I thought My TJ was it! Then a Scout schooled me.

Then the bittersweet memory of Stephanie. To bad that didn't work out. Lost the jeep also:booo:

426rider · Sep 27, 2008

I remember the jeep after one of it's trips through the canopener. I realized how it got that name then too:haha:

briejer · Sep 27, 2008

In that self portrait, I see a little bit of the brace on my right arm. I now remember begging friends for help, and wrenching left handed to almost 3 years. Took 5 surgeries to get it working pretty good.

Time goes by fast.

Not sure if you owned it back around 1993? Remember it from Ravensdale going through DEEP stuff. Think you guys were with a group of bobbed Yota's with tractor tires and remember being totally :worship: and au struck. I remember (which is totally a shocker cause i can't remember what i had for lunch yesterday) the wifey reading a book in her rain slicker!:haha: not much worried about what you had going on. Fun times!:awesomework: :beer:

Going to have to start scanning some ol pics. Great thread!
