A Wrinkle in Time Part 2

[DrMoab]

Whatever Geoff. BTW I have another shot I need chopped.

Anyway I know its only two days since the last but it is Friday so here goes.

the last shot I have of Pugly.

If you have ever been out to the Confluince of the Green and Colorado rivers you know where this is. It still looks exactly the same.

I "think" this is Lavander Canyon. Unfortunatly no longer accesable thanks to the hatefull tree huggers.

Wonder how many years after this shot Rock Rails came out?

Funny there is a color shot of this. I think they had two cameras and took the same shot.

Don't know where this one was at.

I look at pics like this and kind of smile. Today you could travel at a fairly high rate of speed over something like this. Back then this was a serious off road trail.

Not sure where this is. Kind of depressing to think half of those women are probably dead.

Going around a snow drift. Not allowed in todays world.

Snow Wheeling.

One more week to go. Bummer.

Wow, your family really likes jeeps, awsome!

best collection i ever seen of old jeep pictures, i love looking at old pictures of my parents, but they never had anything this cool. I loved being able to see the history of our sport being made.
KEEP POSTIN'!

Thank you for posting those pictures, waiting to see the rest. At (50) it really does bring back memories of a simpler time. "Oh! for the good old days" (90 Jeep Cherokee Arlington Texas)

 

[DrMoab]

whoa...I have been slacking. Thanks Randy for reminding me.

Here is the last week of pics.
Another pic of something you can't do anymore.

Snow wheeling.

Puttin the chains on.

Playin on the dunes.

Um...I don't even know what to say about this other then I would kill to have that jeep.

I think this is another repost but...oh well...its a good pic anyway.

Stuck!

Well...sad to say. That is it. Thats all. I am out of pics.

 

[IntrepidXJ]

Thank you for sharing them. I've truly enjoyed this thread.

 

[CanMan]

Great job DrMoab on all the classic photos. I enjoy looking back on how and what people used to wheel. Thanks again!

Ryan, you're thread kicked ass.

 

[DrMoab]

I'm really surprised no one responded to this picture.

I laugh every time I see it. I think it would be a great "caption this pic" pic.

It's a Jeepster, correct? I've always thought they were pretty cool, personally.

Yes. In fact they only came in 2WD. The people in the Jeep patrol started converting them to 4WD and jeep got the idea from them to make a 4wd jeepster later on.

Back in the days when Jeep actually listened to it's core customer group.

I would listen to that guy too. :shiver:

It just depends on which consumer group you ask.

Bump for the newbies. This is too classic to fall that far behind.

 

[bigalpha]

Isn't this a sticky in the Picture showcase?

 

[cal]

There was a sticky in the adventure forum, but it was never really populated.

Cal- Thanks for bumping this... It is an amazing thread. Back in those days we camped in a V8 1968 Scout (which ended up as my 1st car), but the memories, the look and the feel sure come back easily. I actually remember the gas being about 0.30 a gallon during much of the time shown here (I'm almost 49).

I'm not nearly as old as you (32) but my first car was a '62 F100 4x4 with an I6. I still have it, have since 1992, have put about 75,000 miles on it and probably 10% of those are offroad. The trails aren't quite the same, but just looking at the pictures I can feel the 15" throw of the 4 on the floor shifter in my hand and start craving that truck all over.

Here's my 62 F-250 4x4, 292 4 speed. It kind of fits with the vintage pics theme.
