Do people EVER consider NOT going down into that mess? (4x4)
The guy that runs that outfit reminds me a lot, both in appearance and manner, of an old friend, now moved away. He STILL HAS the military flat fender that he had when I first met him in ?? 75 or so. It's been through "a few" upgrades. When I first met him (got out of the Navy) it was a 327, 350 for awhile, and now I believe a Chev V6. He used to have a 5 gal can of WWII surplus olive drab.
Here is a recent shot. Looks a lot like it "used to." The seats, CB up on the bar, and the cage itself is right out of the 70/s. For awhile he had a "weak" winch made out of an aircraft prop pitch motor. Note the recessed small headlights. This is the real deal, a military, not a civilian. MB? I think. Long time, don't remember.
Below is him and his son when young. This would have been in the time period when I first got to know them. Notice there is a bar, no cage. He built the cage later And no winch. These are the "sand tires" likely down around Moses Lake, WA. Normally back in those days we ran "Desert Dogs" which were very agressive, but only made in one size, and terrible on ice or snow
