I've been addicted to 4x4s ever since I was a little kid. Camping, exploring, hunting, and fishing are some of my best childhood memories. My first 4x4 was a 1979 Ford F150 short bed. Then on to a 1972 Jeep CJ5. There's still a special place in my heart for those old CJs. I've also had an '86 1/2 Nissan hard body pickup, another '72 CJ5, '95 4Runner, 98 Tacoma, '96 LC, '00 4Runner, '04 GX470, and the current '97 LX450. In other words I'm always wrenching on some 4x4 and my obsession is never satisfied.
Some pics for my own historical purposes.
