First trip out I flopped the truck onto her side. I looked down expecting to see her all sorts of pissed but she was laughing. I picked a good one.
Of all the cars on that list the pinto has me the most intrigued...

That must have been the one that followed me from the Sno-park to Tampico. Sorry I didn't drive that fast. No sway bar in front.

Yep, I think that is the one. I know what you mean about the front sway bar; my Jeep just gets silly when it is disconnected. I meant to come over and say "Hi" when you were airing up at the SnoPark yesterday, but Jose kept luring me back to his trailer with homebrew. I'm sure you understand.
It is good to see that you get such a large group out wheeling.

We had an All Wheeler member with us at the Sno-park that was headed home to Benton City too. He goes by TJ40.

Hey Silly, where did you pick up the XJ?

Well, it was a project xj that a co-worker spent a few years building and then decided he was a (REAL) JEEP guy, so he started building another square eyed one. He felt bad when he left the XJ outside in the lonely cold in order to house the other jeep and when his conscience got the best of him he decided to give er up. I just happened to be in the right place and went to Yakima to get er. Now shes all mine...
