[QUOTE="Ricky 79cj-7, post: 696755, member: 4237"] I was born and raised in Orlando, so grew up driving in the orange groves and mudding. Started riding 4 wheelers in an area that was being dug out for a land fill. I loved hauling butt up these steep dirt hills, trying to make it to the top without rolling back down to the bottom. Bought a stock CJ-7 on 32" tires and found a local Jeep club in 2003. Met a lot of great people and started wheeling more and more. Went to an old rock quarry in Gainesville and realized I really liked rock crawling. One of the guys in the club had a shop and I told him I wanted to build my Jeep to be able to go everywhere they were going in theirs, which included Tellico. After doing a spring-over, waggy axles, lockers, a cage and 35" Baja Claws I took my first trip to River Rock and was completely hooked. We went back to River Rock 4-5 more times and to Morris Mountain 4 times in a period of about a year and a half. Had an opportunity to swap in a T-18 tranny and twin sticked Dana 300 and added hydro assist sometime shortly after these trips. Upgraded to 37" sticky Treps, broke a bunch of cromoly shafts over the years, and then the output shaft on the Dana 300 on Rattle Rock. Started looking at other Jeeps, and buggies everyday because I was tired of breaking something every time I went to an off-road park. Ended up with another CJ-7, but this one had been built to compete in WEROCK so it has Pro Rock HP 60's atlas and fuel injected motor and tranny from an xj. I thought this Jeep would hold up much better to the abuse but I broke an output shaft on it too. Got an upgraded shaft and added full hydro and have been beating on it ever since. I've done quite a few high speed, woods racing comps in it but found that I would much rather do all the slow speed, technical crawling stuff.
