I'd guesstimate 90 of older jeeps are unreliable no matter what! It's just the nature of older rigs that get used.

That woodie with the razor looks nice. It's a good combo.

This is true Surf and made a great show of it at ECI. I was wanting to tell you that I like the way you did your rock sliders. Even Seth said something to me about them. ;)

Thanks guys. I had an awesome time at ECI and my wife just told me yesterday that she would love to go on the fall ride. I'm hoping to make it in October with the whole family.

This is an old newspaper photo of the EPA Wagoneer pulling their boat. This was just a mile away from my above pics, just 30 years prior.

I guess it was when the EPA didn't recognize itself as being a polluter. Why on Earth did they need a boat with twin Johnsons on the back to cruise the Ohio River? I wish I had more pics of it.
