    I wheeled the TJ today...

    For those of you that haven't ever gotten to see me wheel, here's something new.

    For anyone that ever got to see me wheel my freshmen/sophomore years, and then knows that I've been trying to get the damned thing running right for the last year +, here's a teaser of what you will see when I get a trip scheduled with everyone.

    here's the whole album

    this is the highlight of the day

    this my stupidity for the day

    here's the little damage it did:

    The clip of me? That's not retarded, that's WFO. It's not the first time I've caught air, and I know it won't be the last. I think Paul summed it up in one of those clips when he said, "It's not like it's your [my] only vehicle."

    I tried that hill the normal way about 6 times before I started getting pissed that I couldn't make the crest, and the fact that I didn't take my happy medicine this morning didn't help matters either. I lined up and gassed it, and caught what the rednecks called "GAWD DAMN THREE FAWKIN FEET UH AIR!"

    It didn't feel like that much to me...

    Cooper - that's Bill Whit Park near the industrial park close to Yorktown and Rodd Field.

    OK. We've been to about three places lately that are on the "Oso", so I don't really know. It was muddy stinky.

    Yeah, I know how bad all that crap is on vehicles. Every one out there was missing body panels as a result of rust. Paul and I went straight to the car wash and soaked our vehicles down after we got tired of watching.

    The underside of my Jeep is pretty rusty from playing on the beach in high school. I'm not too worried about it, but I do try pretty hard to wash everything out. I'll get back to the car wash in a few days to get the rest cleaned out. For now I'm just driving the truck and the Jeep is parked in the shade.

    I thought the beach would be a lot of fun, and it was, I drove into the ocean like on the commercials and everything, dug my axle to the frame in 2wd, and Garner even launched the Blackbird (a moment of silence please...) However, I will never take my truck back to the beach. I washed the **** out of it as soon as we got done, didn't matter. The tie rod ends, jam nuts, and everything else that was missing paint was rusted to ****. That was just one trip down Padre Island. I would be happy to go again and ride along, it was a lot of fun, but the salt sucks. The place you were at was salty mud? That sounds like my two least favorite kind of terrains. I would rather dent the **** out of my door then clean mud out, or have to deal with the rust...

    That's why you don't see pics of my Jeep hauling ass through the mud. I just sat back and watched the rednecks play and took pictures.

    My preference was to try to jump the Jeep over a big hill in an attempt to break it in half.
