I got my truck in late 2004 in Arizona - during Christmas break that year, we installed disk brakes in the front and putzed around the desert a bit (see pic with the two oldest nephews, and the pic from the same day that got me into Henry Brimmer's LandCruiser calendar ) until the spring of 2005 - when we took it to Nebraska to work on it over during the summer
attended Easter Jeep Safari 2005 on the way - wheeled my first-ever Moab trail, Poison Spider, in rain turning to sleet and finally to snow - seriously, first time out there, in a manual truck with manual steering, following Blazers . . . "hey guys, the weather is getting worse, you really think I can make it out of here ?" "sure, you'll be fine" -
