Newbie saying Hello

[87Warrior]

Just thought I would say hello and post our rigs:

Bone Stock 03(a.k.a. "The Tank") I am sure somebody else already calls their rig a tank....

While we have yet to take it on any wheeling adventures, we have had fun testing it out on the farm land. Rather impressed with the rear end articulation, the IFS speaks for its self.

A trip to Colorado (and forgot the ramps)

This Tractor was high centered, not to mention the driver didnt know how to lock the front axle. So it was a dea pull.

Here we are pulling the new addition home: http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

It is a Jeep, 03 Rubicon. Had a blown engine, purchased dirt cheap from an Insurance Auction.

Yanking the engine for rebuild.

Then a year later...

Yes, I do have a lame "H2 Recovery Team" sticker. Did it just because I had to tug our tank off of a dirt mound on our land (was high centered on the step bars). Its all in the fun. Wheeling is wheeling no matter what your driving.

Nice Toys! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Welcome to the forum 87. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[LoLo]

Welcome! Nice "tank"... My H2 is fondly referred to as "the beast"!

BTW, where's "the farm land"?

[87Warrior]

Ah, How could I forget. Located in Central KS. The farm land is simply our families land out in the "boone-docks" of KS.

Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to learning about modifications http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Nice "tank"! Nice pictures too. Time to remove the steps and find out how it really wheels. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

There are a few deer. For the past 10 years we have have ATV's running up and down the creek. Needless to say we are now building a five wire, 4-point barbed wire fence. The population is comming back. Throwing out a salt block and some corn bring them quicker http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Thank you http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif We live near Milford Lake, but the family land is located north of Salina by about an hour.

Warrior,

Is that close enough to wheel with Oklahoma Hummers at Little Sahara?

[87Warrior]

While I am not sure where the "Little Sahara" is located in OK, I do know that Clayton is about a 3-4 hour drive.

I am not sure if I would like wheeling in sand so much. (I really enjoy slow and technical) Do you happen to have any links to the "Little Sahara"?

[RasterMaster]

If you do a search using "Little Sahara" you get tons of links.
