My Off Road TD

[4123]

Thanks. That jeep was my first car when I was 16. Its been through many changes over the years. Your photo looks like it was taken in Yosemite? At least somewhere in the Sierras? It looks like Highway 41 near the tunnel going into Yosemite Valley to me....

[OrionAZ]

No...Way Off! It's at the tunnel exit of the tunnel in the way into Yosemite
Wow Im Impressed!

I use to live in Yosemite Valley. My dad was a High Sierra back country guide working out of Camp 12 taking mule trains of tourists to the back side of Half Dome and back as well as other places. This was back in the 50s. I worked various jobs ranging from a cook in Camp Curry to trail crew etc. My brother still lives in Yosemite. He's been a full time resident for many years.
Olga and I go there often to visit with my brother and his wife and simply hang out. You can't ever get tired of Yosemite.

Well, I don't have a camper to pull yet, but since y'all are into Jeeps, I figured I'd show off my '82 CJ 7. I haven't had the pleasure of pulling up with my camper topless yet, but I've gone to my brother-in-law's trailer at the lake pulling my boat topless. Way cool!

Topless is topless! Nice rig. When are you going to start the TD?

Thanks, and I don't know. I'm still cruisin' through the designs here and elsewhere, trying to find the "perfect" rig for us, or at least the one that sparks my imagination. I've got some ideas, but nothing "just right" yet. Stay tuned!

Cool Plate!

Thanks. Not too many people get it. I "barrowed" the idea from a guy in Ok.

Missing a few slots though

Thats all that would fit on the Nv retro blue plate.

Jeeps rule ':thumbsup:' I plan to pull the TD I'm working on with my CJ.. It has a new 4.2 L with a 4 speed SM420 "Muncie" granny tranny from Novak conversions connected to a Dana 300 Transfer case..

Boy did this go off topic! But I do love talking JEEP. They say the 420 is a little hard with the 6 because of the gear spacing. I did my 73 with the 420 and loved it, but I also did the 350 with it. The adapters alone cost more than the JEEP was worth.

Couldn't resist. Jeeps are ok, but how come when ever I see one on the trail the driver won't return the wave? Same thing with Harley riders ...

Couple of good anti-jeep quotes from the inter-web...

Did you steal that jeep from my mail carrier?

Hey

You ask: "How come when ever I see one on the trail the driver won't return the wave?"

If your in a Jeep.....He busy watching his line!

But if your not

It's a Jeep thing....you wouldn't understand!

P.S. When you start with: Jeeps are ok
Did we really need to go any further? ROFL
