Do I Need A 4x4

[Bowman]

Hahaha love those old jeeps. Those are some beauties.. that sure looks like fun. I would say that I have to get one soon.

 

[Lungpopper]

4X4 ;D should be a requirement to get a hunting license. Great old pics Steve.

For me, if I'm the only truck, I go as far as 2wd will take me. I use 4wd to get me home.

I told my wife before I got married... My trucks will always have 4x4.

That's a great rule for off-roading: don't go alone.
BTW, I like your idea of a pre-nuptial agreement!

Yeah, me neither now that you mention it. I said it's a great rule, not that I follow it. Haha

Old jeeps? Sweet!

Our family's old Jeep. My uncles and grandpa rebuilt it when uncles were in HS, mom learned to drive in it, as did I. It's a cool family heirloom, but it sure doesn't hold a candle to newer Jeeps for comfort and offroad prowess.

Before recent repaint.



After in the desert



Earning her keep maneuvering a trailer into a tight space.

here is an old pic of my wife and I, in my old 67 Jeepster Commando. V6 . This baby could go anywhere. hahahaha that was my crazy days.year approx 1978 Samagatuma ranch. Guatay east county. This was before the word SUV was invented. hahahaha. love that Jeep, I wish I never sold it.

 

[Bonejour]

Those commandos were great. I think the v6 was a Buick, if I'm not mistaken.

yep V6 dauntless spelling ? had a 400 turbo hydramatic automatic trans. never had any problems with each. what a blast that Jeep was hahahaha . it was my first offroad 4x4. Several times I was in the sierra madres in northern mexico, the gila national forest new mexico, all over east county before the roads where been gated. up in northern california. Desert dunes, & trails, local mountains, one of my fondest memories.

I had a '71 ex Border Patrol CJ-6 (that's not a typo, civvy version of an M-170 stretcher carrier) for a while with a Buick V6, great engine. Torque and horsepower.

Wow Steve. I guess that was before the invention of winches and tow straps?

Don.......I don't recall winches early on, but I know by the 60's they had them (looks like there's one on the red Jeep)......No tow straps for sure, all chains. Probably would've just pulled another jeep down that slippery slope.......

here is my 46 CJ 2a. this was a while ago when i used to crash the brush, you can see the metal mesh on the hood to keep the willows and salt cedar from breaking the window. custom roof rack was for my old 12' john boat.

 

[ilovesprig]

Bill,

Cool reversed steering wheel too....................lol

 

[NBK]

Great thread guys. Cool rig Bill...

 

[ilovesprig]

Like many have stated, 4x4's can get you in trouble too.......This knucklehead was driving a 4x4 dually and pulling a trailer......Didn't do him much good........

[uplandfam]

That's not dialysis that's a step side. 4x4 is only as good as your brain like all things.

 

[NBK]

One word...Knucklehead.
