I've been posting for how many years now, Bill? Most of it mindless drivel but still do it:)

5 and a half years ago! sheesh... oh happy memories :-)

How long Jan been posting for?

BTW, who's the RAMVA King/Queen nowadays? lol

I was just at her house this afternoon. She said hi to everyone and she's busy. She also told me she won't work on another car. She's done. That made me very sad.

Gretchen is sitting beside the house completely covered in weeds. I wanted to cry. I wish she would let me rescue her, but she's saving her for her daughter. She'll take Gretch to K & K to have her fixed eventually.

.............ahem..........I just went to your jeep adventures site and the most recent page was the 'move over earl scheib' thing where you painted your jeep in your driveway in front of your outraged neighbors who thought that they were protected from that kind of display because they live in a covenant restricted community of middleclass yuppiedom.

I haven't posted all of the pictures yet. Here's today's story along with one picture...

the guy standing by the front passenger fender holding it downto keep the Jeep from rolling... Might not have been a good idea, but... ...I did it anyway and it kept my CJ5 from rolling over today. I was climbing a hill while my friend watched from below in the safety of his CJ8... I made it about 80% of the way to the top when things started to go wrong. I wound up getting partially sideways when the Jeep began to tilt... BADLY. It was leaning WAAAY over to the left...the driver's side. My side. I felt it begin to totter... Seemed like time was almost standing still. I looked down and saw David staring back up with an "OH SH*T" look on his face. I saw the ground rising up to meet me and realized that this was it. It was going over and I was up high enough that if it went over, it would roll several times before reaching the bottom of the hill. I had my seatbelt on (just a lap belt) and started to lean forward some and grab the steering wheel as hard as I could to keep from getting slammed around when it rolled. This was all happening so slowly. I looked to the left again and the ground was getting closer and closer to me. I was passed the teeter-totter point... closer and closer the ground came to me when I realized that if I stuck my left leg outside of the Jeep (this was the part I said was probably not a good idea...) that I could actually put my foot on the ground... Now from the time I started to slide sideways up until this point had taken about one second probably. I was going over fast. I jammed my left leg out and my ultra-cool Chuck Taylors grabbed for traction in the muddy hill!!! And caught traction, too! I quickly stuck my right leg outside, too! UUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHH..... the Jeep continued its sideways listing, as both of my Chuck Taylors continued to dig deeper...I felt resistance on my waist as the weight of the Jeep was now starting to transfer to the seatbelt...my legs bent....bent more....trembled...and then began to straighten! SWEET!!! I was doing it! I got the Jeep back to the teeter-totter point, but it would go no further. The front passenger tire was WAAY up in the air and the back passenger tire was kinda up on a wall on the side of the hill. It was that back tire being up there that brought me to the teeter-totter point. My friend David ran up and got on top of the front bumper on the passenger side to help keep it upright. I snapped a picture (that I'll post later) and then ran around to hold my precious CJ by the front bumper to keep it from crashing to the bottom of the hill below. David ran back to his CJ8 and repositioned it so that it was at an angle to mine and quickly hooked his winch up to my left rear bumper. The idea was to pull my Jeep sideways in the back to get that back passenger side tire off of the wall so that it would right the Jeep. His Warn 9000 began furiously winding in...until the line was taut...then he slowly bumped the winch with the remote just a hair at a time...My Jeep did exactly what we were hoping it would...the rear passenger tire started to slide down off of the wall thingie...just to the right point...then I let go of the bumper and jumped into the driver's seat! I'd put the parking brake on and left it in first gear during the winch pull because I was afraid he'd get the Jeep righted and then it'd roll backwards down the hill. I put it in reverse and let off the parking brake...hit the starter and it fired up and putted back down the hill in reverse. In perfect control. WOOT WOOT!!!!! Disaster averted!!! Time to put a *REAL* roll bar on my shopping list along with some upgraded seatbelts. I got about 10 pictures of this outing, mostly of my friend's CJ8. I'll post them to my website soon and send out a pointer. WHEW! I'm ready to sit down and have an ice cold beer after that one. :-D

I have one covering me that would be enough to buy her a couple of nice vintage VWs. ;-) I promise I'll get better seatbelts and a real rollbar in the not too distant future. And lockers, front and rear. And bigger/better tires. And a one-piece axle kit for the AMC-20 rear. And a body lift (on order)...and a windjammer (on order)...and a winch (on order)....just put the headers on it yesterday...and "shagged up" the rest of the exhaust system. Sounds vicious. Have to idle my way through the neighborhood now. Hey, my welds are starting to look almost........almost........ pretty. *batting eyelashes* Oh...and...a SOA lift kit for the suspension...and a lower gear for the Dana30 xfer case...and... uh...

Maybe so. But she doesn't like yankees... ;-)
