Hard to imagine getting a home in Oak Park for $23,695.

Hard to imagine you get get a home in Oak Park for $23,695.

Crazy. Most of those billboards were for new housing developments. Now the 101 is a parking lot, most times.

The cruiser’s beating the bug so far.

Freiburger!

YES! Recognized him instantly, even though it was 1989 when we ran the Rubicon together.

 

[65swb45]

IIRC, it was him hanging off the back of my 40 leaving Buck Island in 2WD before I finally pulled over to replace my broken birfs.

Mark, this old thread on Rubithon 1 might bring back some memories:

1st Annual Rubithon article

Here is a nice article on the 1st Rubithon from the November 1989 4WD Action magazine. Some people mentioned and pictured (65swb45, Marlin...) are still active in the cruiser community. Page1 - full size image Page2 Page3 Page4 Page5 Page6
