OK, I'm a Jeep-CJ addict. Visit regularly, and soak up the builds, hints, WTF's, jokes, motivational pics, and all the rest.
BUT - what do y'all do with those CJ's when they're not sitting in the garage?? I'd like to see some pics/trip reports of CJ's out on the trails, on the rocks, in the mud, wherever you take them. I enjoy tinkering, but the real reason for having this old gal is the joy of taking her out.

Well put! Unfortunately, both of my jeeps have been torn apart and in the garage since I've owned them. With the exeption of some cruizing down the neighborhood, that's the most action they've seen in awhile. I'd love to see some pics of jeeps out on the trail. It inspires me to get my projects put together that much quicker.

Yep, mine spends more time in the shop than on the road. Been that way since I bought it 4 years ago.

Just having some fun with my little CJ7.

Looks like you have some good places to wheel, Iceman.

My problem is I spend my time driving and looking and forget to take pictures!

Here's one from Big Bend National Park on the Old Ore Road.



Not a challenging trip, but great scenery. This was the first outing with my "new" CJ, and we were being cautious until we were more confident with reliability. It's about a 26 mile trek through the Chihuahua desert.

Now that I've figured out how to set up a gallery, I'll get more pics in it.

No real pic's of my CJ out and about other than the one my wife took of me out in a snow storm. I have a couple pic's of some RC crawlers and a gas rig I was messing with when I was out and about.



The snow pic:
