Tim Bentley, (aka Bent)among other things.:nono:
Redlands, Ca. 1 mile off Hwy 38 on the way to Big Bear(1hour). I get lost there often.
I am a widower since this Aug. when I lost my best friend. Two sons, Richard 26 (out of the nest) and Ethan (aka E-man) 14.
Richard owns and operates a mfg. buisness that I helped him start five years ago. I am very proud (and happy) to say that he has been able to buy me out.
Ethan has been a wheeler in training for 2 1/2 years now. I
WILL NOT be helping him start a buisness when he is 21!:lecture:
I have been "wheeling" anything I could get my hands on since my grandfather taught me to drive when I was 10.
This is my first Jeep.
My white '01 xj 4 door sits on 31" bfg at's with ~ 5 1/2" lift, armor and other stuff.
I would say that it is a mild build, a c-a-s-h work in progress. As a daily driver I drive it 5 miles to work.
I bought it new, sight unseen 4th of july weekend in 2001.
It arrived the next week from a dealer in atascadero. It was one of the last to be had in the state.:guitar: This and being the last year of domestic production, the plate reads: L8GR8XJ
The mods have happened slowly, lots of reaserch ala
has helped me to avoid redundant spending.
A primary reason for me becoming a paid member was that I wanted to support the organization that had helped me to avoid many potentially expensive mistakes.:worship:
Now that there is a SoCal chapter and that it is growing stronger, there's always another "station wagon with a lift" to go wheel with.:compwork:
