I used to work in Goleta, kick ass on the SBYC and SBSC fleets, and occasionally be forced to hire UCSB engineering products. Does that count?

Haha, thanks...I guess I am just looking for some of you
dudes within reasonable driving distance. I always see M&G threads all the way in OC and places like that...I'd love to go but its usually not practical. Anyway, I guess Ventura County is close enough

Yes, it's a bummer most of the activity is far south or north.
Face it we have to drive a minimuim of 100 miles to do any real wheeling.
The days I could go out my drive way into the Los Padres Forest and wheel mountain range after range to the 33 or the 166 without touching more than 2 miles of pavement ended long ago in the 70's. First the condors, then the Least Bell Vereo, then the Red Legged Frog, closed down the dirt Stage Coach routes I used that were built over 100 years ago.
Anyways, if you want to get together and talk Jeeps, back country, where to wheel, and/or wheel, PM me. I try to get to the mountains or the desert on a weekly basis to clear my head, friends are welcome.

yep, sure do, still has glass, mirror, latch etc. We did hack the hinges at the uni-side though, if you still have the complete hinge or you can drive the hinge pins out it is fine, have a buddy that works at aeroenvironmet, he may be able to squeeze it in his wangler if you aren't heading this way. not sure when I will see him but probably sometime this weekend. Actually he was interested in checking out the D30 you have listed, so maybe that would work out good for both of you guys.
