I just noticed your new sig with the Jeep. Since you've disabled PM's and emails to you, I was just wanting to ask what your website was and am interested in taking a look at it if it has anything to do with Jeeps.
I suppose to make this topic into something not quite as spammy or whatever, does anyone else here have a thing for Jeeps or any other makes of autos?

My grandmother had a late 60's model Beetle. That was one cool car until my mom wrecked it when I was six years old. I wouldn't mind getting one to see if I could fix it up.
I guess I should have said what I've got. My last three vehicles have been Jeeps. I had a Jeep Cherokee up until a year ago and a few summers back I had an 89 Wrangler. Had to get rid of it though, but I bought another one back in March. I'm considering taking it on a Jamboree this Spring. My first Jeep experience was my dad's 79 CJ7 with the straight 6 258. He took that thing places I'm scared to take mine. I just haven't worked up the guts yet. :)

Yeh. My VW's 36 HP of raw power. :D
My first experience with a Jeep was my Dad's '48 Willy's.
I have a brother that still plows his driveway with a '49 Willy's though.

I never owned a Jeep Coach. I am a truck enthusiast and run a truck related website. Mostly lifted fullsize rigs. That was a sig I found. Nothing more.
I've never attended a Jeep Jamboree but do go to a couple of the Special Events Series Jamborees. www.familyevents.com Been doing so since '88.
I've owned a few lifted show trucks along with a couple stockers in the past. Just sold my 2000 Dodge Ram last summer. Never really liked it so I scrapped the idea of building it up.
One of my favorite trucks that I owned until a couple years ago was a 1990 Ford F-350 with 13" of lift and 44" Boggers along with the usual goodies. (It was sold because of lift laws :bawling: )
Off-roading where I live really isn't an option so I was more into show type rigs. (Before anyone starts knocking my trucks.)

That's a beauty Curtis. I'm not a huge fan of flatbeds for offroad use, but I'm extremely impressed by that one. That is a fine piece of work.
The Jeep I have now is mostly stock unlike my old 89 YJ. I won't be able to do some of the stuff that I did in the earlier one, but I should be able to have a bit of fun in April. :)

Ever since I got my drivers licens, I've wanted a big car, like a Dodge Ram, Toyota Landcruiser, or something similar. It has to be both beautiful and big. I like the way I can see over everybody elses heads :) and I belive it makes me a safer driver.
I don't have a car yet, because of where I live. The insurance is 3 times more expencive than normal, because of the neighbourhood.
And then there is this: http://www.toyota.com/images/shop/look_ahead/rsc_1L.jpg the RSC!

Thanks Coach. That picture was before I did a frame off. It was highly detailed actually.
Took months and $$$ but I like clean, detailed rigs. I'd have to dig through piles of CD's for better pics but here's on of the front end.
Good luck with your Jeep. :)

Sheesh, you weren't kidding when you were talking about show quality.
I couldn't have a vehicle like that and not get it dirty. :D
