Other-Since our log on is my sons and I we'll get some photo's and info on their stuff up on here too. I have only been involved with off roading about two years. I never expected to want to spend so much time and money on this hobby. Now I am addicted I can never go back nor do I want too.

Now that I have my own profile this should be under my name but what ever.

It looks like the old girl will be getting a new engine to go with the new drive shaft. My son got stuck in AF canyon and the drive shaft got bent. Luckily we had a spare ready to go in. And then yesterday as Nick (same son) was on his way home from the Relic Run the engine picked that moment to give up the ghost. And once again luckily we have a spare engine too.

I hear the Relic Run had that effect on Jeeps

Bummer about the engine... A good friend here at work blew his motor on day 1.

We knew the engine was tired but I have to rub it in on Nick. After all he did take off for the "Relic" on my birthday, in my Jeep, when I had to work. I'm really glad he made it back out to pavement before it blew.
