I took this photo today and thought it came out pretty good so I thought I would share it with you guys. Andrew said he wanted to see what was in the garage so here is my current "stable".
Way out back by my other house is my '69 Kaiser Jeep Commando that I use for snow-plowing, it is a V6 and it is like a little tractor. I should have pulled it forward for the pic. The truck is a '96 Ram 4x4 with the Cummins Turbo Diesel. I put in a Gale Banks Engineering power kit in it and the thing will pull a house and still get 21 mpg. The Ferrari, well you guys probably know more about it than I do so enough said (for now). The CJ7 Jeep is an '82 and I built it from the ground up (inherited it from my dad after it was no longer road worthy, he bought it brand new). The modifications on that are too numerous to list but basically it has 4.56:1 gears and turns 35" tires through a locked differential in the back and limited-slip up front. There is not much it will not go through. A couple of months ago I used it to winch out a front end loader that one of my friends had buried in the mud. My current plan is to paint the Jeep the same color as the Ferrari.
Well that is some of my toy box and I wanted to share. A couple of things I have learned:
1) Don't drive the Jeep like it is a Ferrari.
2) Don't drive the Ferrari like it is a Jeep!
