What's up all. I’m a former member of the wheelers club up at Tech, graduating in the spring of 2004. It’s been a while since I have been on this site, looks good. I just thought I would share my current build with everyone. It’s an on going project and I hope to be done with this stage by spring. Next change will be a fuel injected v8 but not four a couple of years most likely. The build is hosted on upjeeping so here is a link.
Feel free to post up some comments and suggestions. It’s getting that time of year when wheeling takes a rest to snowmobiling, winter projects, and web-wheeling so enjoy.

Great looking build! Man, I remember wheeling with you in that thing back when it was red and clean.

| I thought you were living in Florida? I remember when that thing was beautiful and clean way back when you used to own the house behind me on Pine street. |

Yes the jeep was once clean, but has since turned a new leaf. Yeah I moved back from Florida about 2 years ago. I was only in Florida for about a year and a half. My jeep did nothing but sit in a parking lot or drive to the beach on the weekends. It finally nagged me enough about the lack of wheeling it was being treated to so we packed up and moved back up north. |

I built that up more and wheeled it for a while, then ended up selling it. I’ve got a mall crawlin Ram on 35s now, but I’m building a stretched 1 ton V8 Scrambler to redeem myself.
