Cool Hello everybody

Register Now to remove most ads!
Just a quick intro. New to the site and living in Washington (state). Have an '85 Jeep that my father-in-law couldn't get to pass the smog in Calif, so he brought it up here. We got it registered and then he decided it was too much of a pain to take back and gave it to me ...darn the bad luck.

I've been on a few trails around here, but am looking for more. Would appreciate any info on trails in the South Puget Sound area.

Somebody asked me if I was going to get a winch for it. I told them I had one already, but couldn't get my wife to sit on the front bumper.
Unfortunately, she overheard my comment. Ever have to sleep in the back of a CJ? I wouldn't recommend it.

Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.

Welcome.










Ha-ha, look at that. I made a harmless greeting.
