So I was cleaning the XJ out (ya, ya, laugh if you must) the other day and I found a disposable camera under the passenger seat. It was not in good shape, and it may have been submerged in water. Several times. I had a vague recollection of having bought one in my pre-NAXJA days to chronicle a Naches trip I took with a few friends when I first got my Jeep.

Amazingly, I don't have any pictures of it before it got big and burly...and dented. This might be my chance to stroll down memory lane! On a whim I went to Jiffy Photo (or something) and asked them to see if they could salvage any of the images.

Sure enough, my cheapie Kodak knock off throw away camera survived. Here's what I got:

Early attempts as posing:

Rear flexes great. The front? Not so much:

I was running a crappy Les Schwab 3" lift, used 31x11.50 Marshall Powerguard M/Ts :)roflmao:) and a front lock-rite and stock 3.07 gears :shiver:. Ah, the memories.... :D

So what's wrong with running 3" of lift, 31" tires, front lock-rite and stock gears? :banghead:

Errrr, oh wait, scratch the lock-rite, don't have that yet. :looser:

I still have dove feathers scattered in mine here and there. Probably a dozen or so various 12ga empties, some .45-70, and a million and a half .22 shells. .40 is a given, both loaded and unloaded. :D I've even got 3/4 box of orange clays.
