Well, it has been a great week, though an assload (pun intended) of windshield time 😊
I have been to, Salt lake city, Yellowstone national park, Bozeman, Montana, Boise Idaho, Sturgis South Dakota, the Badlands and back home. 20170905_191853.jpg 20170906_133500.jpg 20170905_191825.jpg 20170906_145253.jpg 20170906_145323.jpg 20170906_145333.jpg

Wish I would have known you were a Wayalife'er....I was there. Drove 4 hours from Kansas City to come up and are the jeeps and meet Mel and everyone else. Guess he thought it was cool because he posted the pic on off road Evolution's Facebook. I thought it was awesome meeting him and the others that I got to meet. Just didn't have time to meet everyone and didn't want to make myself a bother to the people who were in it. Hopefully next year!!!!

So we took our "new to us" 2008 JKUR to Hannibal, Missouri this weekend on a whim to go see the Nitto 2017 JKX presented by Discount Tire kickoff! (Will be starting a build thread soon on the new Jeep as soon as we come up with a name)

I know these are just normal everyday people but to me people like Eddie and Cindy and everyone here on WAYALIFE...and all these guys are the reason we do what we do. All of us dream being in the JKX I'm sure one day! My wife and daughter and I got to meet Mel Wade and his wife, I got to meet Randy Byers who's been there every single year and Smokin Dave's BBQ and several other people.

Didn't have a chance to meet everyone considering I only had about an hour after we got there before they started packing up at 6 p.m. on Saturday but it was still cool none-the-less to take pictures of all the Jeeps and actually be there knowing I'm going to watch the video soon!

And all thanks to my loving wife who said let's do it... She could see the enthusiasm and desire on my face that I really wanted to go do this and she said let's just be spontaneous and do it. When's the next chance we're going to get to meet these people and say with that we were there for something like this...

So here are the pictures we took while we were there!

I took the same picture as Mel's wife did apparently and I guess he thought it was cool enough to post this on Facebook and say thanks! Wasn't expecting him to post that up but totally awesome! I'm honored.

Last night at about 3am I couldn't sleep so I was scrolling through Facebook and came across that picture on Mel's Facebook. I did a double take and went... is that Rumblebee3??? Lol, I almost commented it but didn't want to make a fool of myself if it wasn't you. That's awesome, good stuff!

Thanks man! Yeah I'm sure you had the same reaction I did when I saw it LOL And I've got one just like it on my phone to prove it was me even though I can't believe it was....

Well we were on the beach west of Tampa and decided to leave before the witch!?! Irma arrived. Planned ahead, left with a full tank and plenty of provisions (my logistics officer is always on point aka the wife!). Ran north through Florida, stopped in GA for the night, head west through Alabama and Mississippi then stopped in Memphis. Running dirt roads and then BAM when we hit the hard top. No brakes. Rear passenger carriage bolts walked their way out and it was dangling from the brake line. No pressure. Babied it 25 miles to the next town slapping the auto stick down threw the gears to slow door and pulling the e-brake to stop. After no one had the bolts, pads, or an open rack I rented a uhaul trailer and the only truck available to tow it home. So the Family Truckster is home. I'll go to the local parts store and get what I need in the morning to fix her up. FU Irma!!!!
