This could either totally fail or actually be decent. I found a few old pics of my dad and his friends. Decided to try out the new scanner I bought and then thought it would be cool to share old 4x4 pics. I'm sure I have some others but I need to find them.
My dad and his friends wheeling in what I believe to be the blizzard of '78.
I think my uncle trying to shovel my dad out of the blizzard of '82.
I'm assuming this is my dad's Jeepster, before and sort of after.
Best thread I have read through in a while! :thumb: The saying, " I forgot more about wheeling than you know" seems fitting. I noticed most of the dates on the pictures are older than me, and I'm 31... Mad respect for the old guys! :beerbang:
Sweet pics. Its nice to see how a simple lift, some big tires and maybe a bigger motor can get you so far and how much fun you can have. No a days everything has to be so complicated and hi-tech. A build thread back then would of been 1 pg at most!!!! :sonicjay:
And here's a couple obstacle courses from Zilwaukee. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the event but it was at where the Zilwaukee Bridge now stands.
And finally, for Liv2mx, Jeepbratte and all the other nay sayers, YES, I DID COMPETE. Once.:sonicjay:
The obstacle course events that were held in Zilwaukee were called "TOR", or Truck on Regardless. Watched a chick flip her boyfriends EB, climb out the window, and run the rest of the course for a second place finish. Good times. Those events were right in my back yard, and dad loved to watch ******** in action.
Just found some pictures of Canada trip August '91. From left to right. Bob Billings, Greg Johnson, Landcruiser??, Al Feck, Me, Jerry Nugent, and Mike Kurti. Dude in white t-shirt is Beejers. This was an awesome trip will post more later.
nice to see the ole pics, from 80s,90s, we still make a yearly trail ride up to the top of the mountain, trail is mostly over-grown but still do-able, the view from the top is awesome, keep the ole pics comming !
