Other-Since our log on is my sons and I we'll get some photo's and info on their stuff up on here too. I have only been involved with off roading about two years. I never expected to want to spend so much time and money on this hobby. Now I am addicted I can never go back nor do I want too.
 
It looks like the old girl will be getting a new engine to go with the new drive shaft. My son got stuck in AF canyon and the drive shaft got bent. Luckily we had a spare ready to go in. And then yesterday as Nick (same son) was on his way home from the Relic Run the engine picked that moment to give up the ghost. And once again luckily we have a spare engine too.

I hear the Relic Run had that effect on Jeeps ;)

Bummer about the engine... A good friend here at work blew his motor on day 1.
