Hi, it was nice to meet you all at the meeting last THU. I am glad to find this active and family-friendly group and look forward to some good times ahead.

I have had 3 Jeep CJs (2 CJ7s and 1 CJ8). Since we now have 4 kids age 6 and under (!!!), I upsized to an 89 K5. The kids call it "The Gravedigger," it is great fun and the 3 child seats in the back are very macho. It has a rollcage, bedliner, Tuffy console, Warn premium hubs, top is gone and a few other small mods. Mostly stock. Upcoming projects include pickup truck tailgate conversion (no need for rear gate glass with no top!) and front/rear bumpers with tire carrier and winch.

We moved here from Mississippi about 10 years ago. All I know about off-roading I learned redneck-style from watching my stubborn dad try to make it through mud bogs that he had no business attempting, and then the predictable cluster you-know-what of trying to extricate ourselves. I'm sure many of you have had similar experiences.

Thanks, good to meet you all!

-Buck

Hi Buck. It was nice sitting beside you and your beautiful daughter at the meeting. Apparently we were at the lucky table. Gil said no mud bogging, but being from Texas, I disagree. Sometimes mud is required for a lot of fun, huh? Welcome. See you again on the trail, wet or dry. :)
