SuperJ, Thanks for the explanation as I understand better. I'm so retro with VEX, a Jeep is a Jeep and so have little clue on the new 2x4s, 4 seaters, long long bodies, the width, its so out of my league, I don't get it......haha. And did we know: Jeeps were built and designed as they were...

With the favorite Jeep photos, I also love this one. Audrey and I were about 3km from the Mex. border and I was looking at some ruins and rock outcrop nearby and caught this photo of Audrey gazing off into forever, when I was coming back to VEX. I loved it; fitting for the Jeeps we love, the...

I noted that with Audrey so long ago and all the maidens hence--they love an adventurer that can take them where no one can in a really wild ass vehicle. Then, back in civilization, she is the talk of the community because of it. I love it. Robert

SuperJ, what is done with these types of "Jeep' as I do not understand very well on these later rigs. Thanks in advance, Robert

....And from that era, 42 years ago, in this photo from the top, the change in life when you do not expect how things can change, .....To the latest markings and call-outs on VEX, for my next assignment, if I should decide to take it, my 5th trip to Mali, and Timbuktu over 35 years:

Out on the CR 8757 road, about 25 miles from LC, getting ready to head cross country across the desert reach of The Coralotos. It was 2011 and she has been spending these 2 years now in NM in VEX, with me, eating peppers and my smokey salsas I cook, gathering mesquite to build the cooking fires...

Thank you, thank you, all of you good people. Most kind. In every way. BG will be here to day or tomorrow. She read that above and came completely unglued. Bless her beautiful heart. Hat is tipped to everyone of you, Blonde Girl. No maiden at 60, should have legs like that, but the black...

.....and here is some more shots of the 'big rigs' that I had run over the years logging and lumbering up in Montana way, that helped me on my mods on my Jeeps as the years went by. Rear view of the CAT 518, showing the fairlead for the Hyster 80,000 lb. winch, grapple detail, chains. We were...

I also love this photo with VEX on rock. Love the wheel travel and his ability to do this sort of thing with those 4 foot long shocks. Very cool and the Revolver Shackles. ------------------------ And this one with me running a 4 wheel drive CAT 518 Rubber Tired Skidder with Canadian Chains...

Yes, that is how it looks and the T-38 escort, so rocks. When we first saw this at KSC in 1981, we were stunned, even with the mods done to the carrier jet (747), to see this configuration. And then the briefing by the pilots of the carrier craft who said with the orbiter up there on its back...

Thank you everyone so far that has commented. Thank you. Robert

It was 1970, and I had begun my 4th year of Jeeps, since I had my first when I was 14, as all ranch kids up Montana way drive early on the farms and ranches. It was my senior year in HS and I had been courting a lot up to that time, and one day I spotted a maiden that stunned me. She was like...

Las Cruces, NM. It was 93 today--9-19-12--top is off but one month per year. Then, just a bikini top for winter, or the shell of my Bestop..... Robert

Those fender flares make it look vaguely like a Jeep TJ. I always liked those style fender flares. If I were to run wide tires ever again, I'd get those for VEX. Very cool. Robert

I love this photo. So like me and my foul-ups........but hey, its a 'dry' heat! Robert

Hi Richard, Robert here and welcome here. Vietnam huh? How old are you buddy? I just turned 60. Been Jeepin' awhile. Have fun here and this is the best site out there for its format, content and traffic. Good choice that you're here. Best, fedora is tipped, Robert

Hello and welcome here. Post away and post a photo of your Jeep and you, when you get settled in and find all your controls. Glad to have you here and have fun... Best, Robert

"VEX", 1983 CJ-7, Jeep number 26. 21 years with VEX. Badass Jeep of all time for me. He's successfully been in and back to US now, in 123 of the Earth's 142 nation states. 1,188,580 miles on his 5th 258 6. Robert

"Raiders Of The Lost Ark", but then in my trade (Archaeologist), that's a given......... Robert

Hi Flatie, Yes, over in the "fav Jeep pic" thread posted update and photos and such. All is well down in Las Cruces. Trying to solicit folks with passports as I have a short assignment 700 miles south across the US-Mex border in the Sonora Desert and can bring others. So, trying to find...
