A house down the street in my neighbor hood just sold. Yesterday my friend at the other end of the road came over to talk for a bit. He told me that the new house had a white CJ all lifted and built sitting in the driveway. I couldn't believe it. CT doesn't have that many old Jeep driving around anymore like when I lived out west. So I was going to get on my Mountain bike and go for a ride after i went swimming with the family. Well, we were getting out of the pool and i heard a nice V8 in my culdesac. I look through the window and see the white CJ turning around and heading back the other way. He must have been checking out his neighbors. I looked at my wife and told her it was time to go for my ride. I headed up and saw the new owner putting his trash out so I stopped over and said hi. We talked for about 30 minutes and he is a certified CJ nut!! We had a ton in common including be ex military and he even has a kid with one on the way like me. I am stoked to have a guy in the same area that loves these old Jeeps as much as I do. He was siked as well and can't wait to do some garage time.


Here is a quck shot of his Jeep in the garage. Crappy pic but I will get more and get him on this site ASAP. It is a 76 CJ5 with an older Chevy small block and a Dana 44 rear. It has 33 inch tires with about 3 inches of lift and Metal Cloak highline fenders, glass tub and no top. The Jeep is rough but sweet.

I'm moving next weekend. Maybe I'll get lucky too. I do know a navy seal lives next door to the house we are getting.

Cool beans. My buddy at work was a Marine special forces. He was one of the original 8 that went into Somalia to stop the French foriegn legion from killing people. He was in the city trying to save the crew from the Blackhawk that went down just like in the movie. He spent two days hiding from angry civilians trying to shoot him.
