It's a Jeep Thing.....

[Jeffro]

I gave up my motocross shooting "job" this year to have some fun. I'm still taking a bunch of pictures, but most of them are now of jeeps. I've been spending alot of time offroading with my new club. It's a blast. Here are a few shots...nothing fancy...that I've taken "recently".

I love 4x4, built my Grand Cherokee from stock, had lots of good times. I wish I went more often though.

I can honestly say yours is the first 4x4 with a windshield decal related to photography. :rofl
Unique, I like it!

Be sure to expense all those trips to visit potential clients.

I recently tried the jeep thing in a rental...no mud but it was a ton of fun.

Nice to show us the dirty side of a jamboree :thumb

Not a jamboree....just a weekend get together. :D It's very addicting.

Where was this at?

Looks like a blast! :thumb

Where was this at?

The first seven were at the Badlands (http://www.badlandsoffroad.com/default.asp) in Attica Indiana, the rest were at the Cliffs Insane Terrain (http://www.thecliffsinsaneterrain.com/) Marseilles Illinois. So I guess that means it was actually two fun weekend get togethers....:D

It is...until something like this happens...

Which turns in to a "typical" trail repair...

...what you can't see is it's anchored to another jeep.

But it's all good. The wheeling is usually a good test for the camera gear too, dirt, mud, water and lots of bumps.

I put myself in a bind and snapped the axle and ball joints. I had gone down this same section 50+ times on prior trips without a problem....so I blame myself for this one. Basically too much torque on that side of the axle. A couple hours later I was back on the trail....thanks to fellow club members!

We saw something like this on our jaunt. The driver was climbing a rock face which was very rough. He broke the rear axle...not sure he had all of the parts to fix it though :lol3

As they say: "GO PREPARED OR GO HOME". One of the members fried his automatic transmission on the last trip.....3G's....:huh

One of the things I really like about Jeeping is.....its a family thing.
