Hi everyone, my name is Jake. The wife and I both grew up wheeling. She actually grew up as a Desert Rat. We have been guests with them for awhile now, but I am always looking for people to camp and wheel with. Have a couple Jeeps as you can see by the pics below.

The first one has been an ongoing project for years, and is close to done. This is the wifes 46 with a Buick V6. D44/D27 w/lockers, cage, etc....

The other is my Barbie Jeep. Which has the factory limited slip in the rear and a lock right up front. Always prefer fabbing my own stuff like the rear bumper, etc.
Its the white one in the pics.

The last one is my kids jeep. Wish I could fit in it :)

Last but not least, you have to have a tow rig!

Welcome. Thanks for posting up with pics. I'm jealous of your wife's rig (I already have one of those Barbie Jeeps like your white one.) My kids are rolling the same way, plastic Jeep-wise, but some other Peak Putters are looking for them to out grow it.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.
If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans.

I'm a Scout guy, but that red critter would sure tempt me :wink: Welcome to the lunacy...

It is Ok Lee, Isabel is patient. Your girls have plenty of time to enjoy their jeep. I am on the other hand... More jeeps to our collection :roll:

Welcome!

Nice flatty and TJ. I'm sure I have met you before at the last couple Cool Desert Night events. I work with a Desert Rat that keeps threatening to join our site. He doesn't like the user names I have come up with for him though! :D

Also, like many here, it's good to see you like to rough it while camping. 8)

Thanks for the compliments, my wife has an even bigger head now :roll: . I probablly have met a few of you before at the Cool Desert Nights, we really appreciate the help. Hopefully I can get the flatty running soon, just needs brakes and drivelines to make it road worthy. Although a Painless wire kit and some new hubs would be a nice Christmas present too.
