Any updates @Gjeep?

Great story, I love stories like these and people not knowing what they are!

Oh believe me, I am going to either build or buy a set of sliders before doing any wheeling.

That makes sense and I don't blame them.

She looks like a great truck to build! What are your plans for it?

That doesn't sound too bad. 7 trips to Moab and you'll have the hours covered!

Good job! I'm sorry you had to go through that pain. How long until you get your permit and then license?

As much as I would love to go to the takeover, It won't be able to happen next year with school. Someday though!

Yeah, me neither, other than summer time. Probably July or August.

That's good information to know. Do you know why that is? To me, it seems to limit the number of people that could go there (people with tube chassis buggys, etc.)

That is WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY to accurate for our generation . I'm surprised Jeep can still have the Cherokee, Gladiator, etc.

And that was me putting my thoughts mildly-you don't want to get me started on our generations.

I have done the research so I can get mine appraised (do this too, that way you can argue for a higher price) and I will probably put a value of $15,000 on my truck (it helps to do appraisals at your work). Would I get that if I sold it? Probably not, but I don't think that is too far off either. When you get your truck built and painted, I would try to get $12,000-$15,000 on your truck, depending on how how you get it to look when it is done.

This. Dang kids these days getting offended over which way the wind blows

Good to know! Thank you! Quick tip on insurance. Currently, my truck does not have a stated value on it and we take the road insurance off of it for the winter. Getting a stated value on it though will reduce the overall yearly insurance, get better insurance on it, but I won't be able to take insurance off of it. You may want to look into getting a stated value-especially when you paint it, that way, if something happens to it, you will get more for it.

I haven't owned one newer than me either-and I never plan to. MJs for doing truck things and an XJ for the family hauler.

Funny story, I included the updated picture because I didn't recognize the truck at first when I clicked on the link

RIP. Maybe he could be your copilot for this adventure! That also looks like a great place to wheel! Thanks for the suggestion!

It has! Most every part of the truck has been replaced too!

Valid point. You're close too! You coming? Seriously though, if you can get your truck done, I hope to see you there!

Same to you!

Between a 33 year old Jeep, a 37 year old Jeep, and a 61 year old Ford, I would say that will be a pretty common thing for you. But, I'd rather drive something old that can be fixed easily than any of the new cars on the road!

Noted and added to the bucket list

How about this one? https://sketchpad.pro/
