Old school 4 wheeling photos

[Herzog]

Post up your old-school photos. Let's make 1 rule... any photos 8 years or older. So anything 2002 or older is game. Let's see how far we come in that time.

I'll post some up when I get home. This should be fun.

1986... 1 ton axles on a cj 7, 44 inch tires, leafs all the way around, power assist steering.

Started out like this. All stock.

Then a SPOA

Then The 33's and lockers. The same setup still till this day. Though it's alittle more beaten up.

Did we even have digital cameras back then?

I have a few from digital camera, but most were 35mm.

 

[SmokinCamel]

Alot of mine were video captures back then. Since video was more exciting then still shots.

Blow the dust off of that scanner, and lets see some pics.

Oh man....I should break out the scanner

How old? This one is probably about 1995 or 1996. (doesn't compare to 1986, but I wasn't driving at that time )

That eventually became this:

Notice I carried a spare?

I even competed in the first UROC, in Cedar City. Should have been 2001, I think?

 

[I Lean]

Speaking of UROC, Craig has come a long way....hard to believe his current buggy is the "same" vehicle.

Also, Rockmonkey has come a long way, without the same vehicle.

I really do need to scan my older photos. This is crazy. I though I had many more on the computer.

Here's a few.

Running a trail in Price back in 2001 I think. I can't recall the name of this one.


Crusing around down by the Swell. Circa 2002


RIP Dump Bump. I never did make it that day. I remember trying pretty hard too. This one is 2001 or 2002.

Holy crap - is that Braden's jeep that eventually turned big and blue? I guess that Willys eventually turned blue too.

Yes....but before it turned blue, it turned partially black.

Hey Carl some of those look familiar or maybe just the terrain. Were they in the first Hammer Down vid?

 

[I Lean]

Yes, a fair amount of Hammer Down I was filmed in/around Delta.

 

[Badbuggy]

1985------ 5 ton axles blown 401 AMC turbo400 two transfercases, Jeep Honcho pickup on 66 inch Terra tires, rear steer.
You guys are making me feel old, I thought we were talking "OLD school"

Its not Escalator and its not Hells Gate either? I seem to remember it an optional part of Hells Revenge that has since closed?

 

[Coreshot]

Cool thread. Maybe we can lure Muleskinner in here, I know he took a ton of photos back in the day...

The ride that started in all, 1986...
