First off, I can unequivocally say that the rig and the setting made the picture. Since I took the picture, I doubt the "eye of the cameraman" had much to do with it. That vehicle was tight. Unlike Theriot, I have never had a problem buying something sight unseen. That yellow one was bought on ebay from Columbus, OH. It was delivered to Gretna and when I went to pick it up, it was the first time I saw it in person. The only issue with it was some rusty areas that I didn't have the time or inclination to deal with. I sold it to a Doctor in New Orleans last year. He is doing a total frame resto on it. There were no major mods to the vehicle. I put in a tuffy center console and it came with a brand new Old Man Emu 2.5" suspension with a new Old Man Emu steering stabilizer. The 31x10.50 Wranglers had never even been rolled. I really hated seeing it go, but I was on a mission to purchase my current rig. I think my current vehicle is the last upgrade for me. If I ever sell this one, it will be to go with something less asthetically pleasing so I won't have any reservations about putting it to the test in any situation.
