ZJ owner in Las Vegas

[buells2t]

Hi all
I’m pretty new to the Forum.
I Live in Las Vegas NV. I’m a self employed technical trainer/consultant.
I bought my first 4x4 (K5 Blazer) in 1981, and never looked back. I don’t even own a car. After a few Chevy’s and fords I started playing with Willys Utility Wagons in 1990 collected them for a few years and during that time got my first Jeep Cherokee. At this point I have owned a couple XJs, a couple ZJs and a TJ. I loved my TJ but just not enough room for me. I really love my current ZJ, it is a blast.

I’m a member of the Nevada Backroaders.
I’m getting married in a week,
I’m learning to fly airplanes.

I guess that is about it for me.

I hope to meet some of you on the trail sometime, and if you re ever up this way wheeling give me a shout.

I have pictures/videos and some GPS files of trails in the southwest on my website if anyone is interested.

Cool. Coincidently enough I lived in AZ when I owned my last one.
I just scanned some old pics and posted to my website.

Ha, ha, mine don't look quite that good. One's a '47 and the other is a '61 Maverick. They're both on hold until I get my 3B together.

It was very clean 61. Like I said on my site I was the 3rd owner of it.
Of all of them I owned the 57 I had was my favorate. Haven't been able to find a pic of it.

The 57 wasn't as pretty but the dash/gauges was cool and she drove and ran great. Maybe the best flat Six (huracane) I have ever owned.

A farmer had the 57 in the local paper. When I went to look at it the starter spun but didn't turn the engine over. We pull started it with his tractor. I paid him $300 and drove it home. Of course I lived in Cheyenne Wyoming at the time (1990).
When I got home I looked under the hood and switched the battery terminals and she started righ up.
I guess he thought it was a positive ground. LOL
