Been a while

[mentalbreakdown00]

Howdy fellas, and ladies. It's been a while since I got on here, lifes been busy. After almost 9 yrs without a 4 wheel drive I do have one now, but not my beloved RBV's.

I have since done a bit of work to it since both pics, but nothing cosmetic. 2" lift 265-75-16 Fierce M/T's I have a ford 9" laying around that may end up under this thing

EDIT: The site is even nicer than last time, I love how much it's grown since I first joined back in 2001 or so.

Well welcome back to TRS and yea it has grown by leaps and bounds especially since 2001 but you will still se familar faces here from then, some guys changed their user names after the site crashes like in 07. Enjoy all the new stuff and folks man.

Wow love that paint job, i need to figure a way to do a good snow camo pattern. did you do yours yourself or get a shop to do? i actually like the classic cherokees, i hate wranglers, idk why just the style.

Welcome back ! Good to hear from you again!

Hey sasquatch. It was painted this way when I got it, and it's rattle can. Oh, one of the only cosmetic changes it the dern purple tint is GONE... I hated that crap.

ya... its funny, this lady down the street from me owns this wrangler that is completely awesome. I wanna catch her boyfriend driving it and mock him that its his girlfriends though if i was her id never let anyone drive it... i dont even think she uses it for anything offroad. I just thought of that when you mentioned purple tint... seemed girly.

I worked at TLM about 12 yrs ago now. I left working under Jerry Manley not knowing much more than how to change some parts making $10 an hour. A few year later, and knowing a lot more going through UTI, and FACT, and lots of experience later, I moved back to Tally, and was offered............... $10 an hour. I told them to kiss my tail pipe. Edit; this was about 5 yrs ago.

You didn't happen to know Pete Goda did you? He worked there around that time, not sure of the exact dates.

 

[mentalbreakdown00]

Well, I think I knew a Pete, but man your asking a lot to remember 12 yrs ago. I remember Hoover, and of course Jerry, and the other guy by Jerry that does all the rear ends, and such.

 

[adsm08]

I think Pete was shop foreman for at least part of the time he was there.

 

[mentalbreakdown00]

no, wiener was the foreman, unless wiener is Pete... lol
