lol he moved the firewall back in that jeep and put a corvette engine in it...then got the huge balloon tires on it and we played in the sand dunes with it when we lived on the coast. My understanding was the guy that bought it wrapped it around something solid rather quickly. Yeah.....pretty nice shop.....sure wish I had that shop now AND the jeep!
After 10 or so years Jeeps keep costing more than when new. For some reason they hold up better on rough roads than the highway, at least they did years ago. thanks for the show. The old scouts were pretty good too by International, they were quicker to high center though. Gnewt
LOL I have a pic similar to that one that was taken of our ram charger years ago! Oh gracious....had not thought of that in a long time...may have to find the pic and scan it so see!
It use to be cheaper to go around, the price of gas now make it cheaper to sell it take a loss and buy another one on the other side or risk tearing it up. Makes a horse look very good. Good show guys, thanks. Gnewt
...hmm.. Ironically.. my "primary" digging car is a Mercedes ML320... ;-) I sold my Jeep... I was just plotting the biggest tires I could get on it.. and what the lift would be.. I just came down off the mountain about 1/2 hour ago.. a "road" that would make a lot of Jeep owners think twice.. I bought the ML when I had my first boy.. after a really close call on the beltway in a midsize car.. I liked the idea of 4800 lbs of real steel around us.. 162K miles later.. still going strong... I figure some big mudders.. a lift.. roof rack... brush guard.. and a rack to hold the metal detectors in the back!!! I have to admit.. having been in one wreck in the car.. someone ran a redlight on me and I hit her broadside and sent her for a full 360 plus a few extra degrees... totaled her car.. I drove mine to the dealership for repairs.. the size and weight is great..
