Nah, just following some EJS stuff on the Four Wheeler web site.

That hood brace makes it old school for sure. When did those change over to the tube brace most of us have? I forget.

Looks to me like they did a quick cover of some bad rust, and made some very nice flairs. I want the flairs, please. That is all. And bad form losing the Rhino.

This Waggy wasn't a factory Rhino as far as I know.

I have been seeing the red Chief all over the place. It was apparently pretty popular.

Seemed to work well from photos. He was there for the FullSizeInvasion which happens at about the same time as EJS. He goes by Dr.Deathwobble on instagram.

Wow, I think I have seen that Chief before. Over by Gemini Arches maybe. This week the FourWheeler group was on Steel Bender. First time we ran that, Krista and I both ran 32s. It was easy peazy in 2002. Phoebe needed a little tug to get up the obstacle below because the Edrive was not shifting. Now you should probably have 35s and at least rear locked to run Steel Bender. Good luck with 33s.

Been up and down this a few times... :fsj:

Last time I run Steel Bender was 2012 on 35s, locked rear, open front.

Yeah, that part made me chuckle too. And I really like how Mark Allen is a jeep guy, he isn't some exec that cares nothing about the vehicles he is in charge of.

That had to keep something to remind you that it is a 52 year old vehicle ;)
