hehehe ...oh yeah ...forgot the one eye part LOL
honestly I don't notice it anymore...lived like this for twenty years....
ppl on the trails are amazed when I am one inch from an obstacle, and I know
that I am one inch away from it ......
I wish I could say I didn't see that tree...but I did and I was going around
it....
One other thing...driving twenty years like this, I've never had an
accident...knock on wood....well maybe I can't say that any longer...oh well
hehehe that's JEEPIN'

As for the topic here....Flatties =) ....my buddy just bought himself all
the gear and says that we can build them.....
I found another company that make 'em
http://www.metalfusionfab.com/tj_tube_fenders.htm
Anyone know anywhere else???...not that I am gonna purchase, just lookin'
for ideas... like I said in the earlier post..."I'm a poor boy"
or even better...know the location for plans to build 'em??
Any help would be appreciated...
Thank You, Jeff

Jeff,

Don't know your wheeling partner John Cranfield, but heard of him and
his notorious hi-lift accident:

You guys aren't starting a one-eyed 4x4 club or something?

ROTFLMFAO......
I honestly never gave it any thought...LOL
John and I were the only two vehicles on the trail that day and we only had
two eyes between us....
That was a good one Steve.... 1I4X4 Club.... it might be kool to start one
just for kicks ...lol

Oh Yeah! Chicks dig body damage!!! Those are the girls from BC... The one
on the left has an Electric Lime Green Rubi

BTW...was out last night with Eric Germain lookin' at Slippery Creek and
some of those other trails out Nictaux way...those Right Coast Krawlers sure
build some nice trails...
I think it was u that I saw pics of out there in the spring...

and last all....Eric is going to fabricate my new flatties, but need design
plans/pics.... looks like the new Jeep is about to start the hardcore mods
hehehe
