hold yer horses! ...soon.

congrats!

He always gives us what we need... and sometimes, what we want!!

Yes, Pete...he does......and sometimes he sticks it right under your nose and is probably shaking his head in wonderment when you cannot even see it!! That's how I can be sometimes!!!!


Here's a picture.....a small one. I will have more later on tonight once it's in my driveway!!!

Looks sweet!

Finally home from Virginia!!!

My baby @ a stop on the way home




2:10am sunday......safe and sound in it's own drive way!!!!

so when is the first dent getting put into it.

Well....there's one already there. I have a few pics I just took this morning (I couldn't WAIT to wake up and have it be daytime!!!) The thing came with a pre-dented fender and a couple pushed in parts on the rear bumper plastic corners.....which you KNOW is not a problem for me....it STILL had less dents than Pete did before I crashed it.

I'll go download the pics.


Oh, and PS......I'm sure I'll be adding some of my own.

Here are some pics. You can see small damages here and there...nothing big...and then the passenger front fender has a bit of a dent....no big deal there either (not for me, at least!)

As soon as we got home last night, I put "Pete's" necklace (hemp with clay beads and a sharkstooth that sat around Pete's rearview mirror the whole time I had it) around the rearview mirror.......then this morning just HAD to add the RC sticker....none of our vehicles are complete without it!!!

I love the wheels....have to get some new tires though....the fronts are worn down bad. Rears not so bad. Have no idea the brand.....something like "Winston Winners"...HAHAHAAAAAAA! OKie dokie....can I have my Cooper STTs now???

Little work to do today before it gets inspected Monday. Thermostat, exhaust gasket. It needs a tune up but that will wait till we find out what more it MAY need to pass inspection.

The more I look at it, sometimes I get a little twinge of jealousy cause when Pattey is done with it, it will be SWEET!

But the I look at my TJ and I am less jealous, but it will be awesome to hang out on the same trails and watch the joy on her face when she gets to wheel again.

im so excited for you guys i cantwait till my rigs done and pattey's is so we can all wheel congrats on the jeep

This is a cheesy paint job on the picture but this is what the future looks like...........plus black rims!

thats such a awsome picture.
did you see you missed a little bit below the front bumper. i have a fgeeling that will be mia after the first trip to rc anyway.

COOL!

We'll be on the look-out for military add-ons for you!

Wheels should be O.D. too! I'm serious about painting it. You prep it, I'll shoot it! P.S. I've seen those big star decals somewhere...I'll dig around. And get some 2" stencils and we'll shoot some mil spec numbers on it, too! And then you need to get some of that super heavy hemp rope to lace around the front bumper...and a D-handle shovel mount, etc. etc. Man! I'm havin' a vision!

UPDATE: Star Decals...http://www.military-graphics.com/badges7.html

LOL

I always get green jeeps, its the right color.

OK, I have a red wrangler now, but that's because my wife insisted as she was wheeling it, she was sick of green.

She did OK with it at Rausch Creek, despite it being the wrong color.

TJ....hahahahaa too funny!

Thanks, Pete and Doc!!! I found QUITE a few things I want for it on the site you posted, Doc. I like the WWII Star with the circle. Definitely getting large stars for the doors. But from looking at actual military Jeeps, they mostly have the plain old white star with no circle for the doors. The hood ones seem to all have the circles. The site has both. I'll have to figure it out.

I love the idea of doing the mil spec #s in the 'military font' (somewhat like the heading on the website you posted) along the back and maybe some number like you mentioned.....maybe "90XJ-4ME" or some configuration of that.

I found the POW/MIA stickers (12") for the 2 rear side windows. We also love the "got gratitude" stickers....probably get that.

I'm so excited. Chris put my firestick on. Have to hook my CB up inside. My CB's been in the basement since I took it out of Pete.
