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?

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.

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:

I remember the jeep after one of it's trips through the canopener. I realized how it got that name then too:haha:
 
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.
 
Great pics Corey. I remember Dean hitting the log on sac-up like it was last week...That jeep was nice.
 
Wish i could find a old picture of John Deere.

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!
