What can I say. You seem to be very stricken with the Jeep bug. We all were introduced to you just last year, when you rescued an MJ that was more rust than Jeep, and fell head first into our abyss. Since then we've found out that you (and your wife) also have a offroad team for charity, helping collect shirts to make a quilt for the cause... Just awesome. Not only that, but in the midst of all this, you keep taking in MJ's destined for the scrapper. Your skills in body repair and fabrication are fantastic, and you do a great job of sharing them and the processes with the members. All of these things are what make you a great member, and this month's MJOTM. It's not just about the trucks. It's the guys behind them. Congrats. :cheers: Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
