1996 jeep XJ Classic in my favorite camping spot.

Basically a tear down/build up. I designed one of the first WJ to XJ front suspension swap. A little too much for a Dana 30 axle but it's still holding strong all these years later.


Edit: FOUND AN IMAGE FROM THE WEEK I BOUGHT IT!!

I have a soft spot for toyota 4wds and my "eyes" got big when I saw that land cruiser. Nice fleet of toys though.

Amazing job bringing the Acura back to life. Most would have walked away from the project. Great Job!

Cool to see some BMW fans. I recently sold my 1999 M3. It was an individual and one of the last e36's to roll off the line.

Back in the late 80's, when I was looking for an everyday driver, I found a Mach 1 convertible. I ended up buying something else for the same price, but half the mileage. I've regretted it ever since. :?

Jamie I love that bike. I was a Honda guy when I was younger but when the 450 yamaha came out it creamed the Honda 400 and I pulled the trigger on it. Mine is a 2007 and I still have it.

I hope this image works? My 1972 Triumph GT6 with a TR6 2.5 litre engine. I built this from the frame up.

Took about two years from Purchase of the title to driving it on the road. Since then I've done nearly 8k miles (over around 2 years on the road), including two trips to the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps. She gets used year round and is surprisingly quick.
