Been in the auto collision business for 18 years. Pays the bills most of the time, and allows me to build my Jeep the way I like it. Currently collecting parts for my All Toyota buggy.

And a fine builder and painter you are!!!

I followed your builds on Jeep Forum for a long time! You have some skills!

I live just a few miles from Steve Hitt and we used to wheel some. I met his dad and some others out in Moab again this year for EJS.

Im a LT/EMT for Panama City Beach Fire Rescue...been at it 11yrs (yay spring break!!). My wife is a middle school teacher so no money there lol. I have to hustle every damn day im off to enjoy this sport... i buy, sell, swap, build others stuff, do anything to turn a buck or trade for a part that I need. I dont have a bouncer and never will but thats ok...my family and i enjoy the crawling side of it and we like to watch the big boys bounce. What really helps more than anything is my wife tolerates me and my obesseion . I am also lucky to have a good group of local crawling friends...we all help work on each others rigs, split travel expenses for wheeling trips, and most of all keep each other motivated!
