Hi all. Been out a while. Work is kiling my time lately. Very nice "new" trucks you guys got! I didn't get any good pics on the Jeep run weekend before last - views of Lost Alamos and an easy trail but it sure was nice weather and great to get the Bronco out again. I also got a new toy but it's not a truck. It's a Sig Sauer Scorpion .45 1911. A damn nice shooter! Guess you could say I'm a 1911 fan. I've got several and carry one all the time.

My family is just the opposite.... all the Trucks are BLACK and all the Cars are Red... no joke!!! When we have Christmas at my parents it looks like a Ford Commercial!!

I'll post pics up tomorrow along with a nice list of what needs to be done to it (which I don't think is much).

What's tough about reloading .45? Can't find components? A never-ending quest.

I don't reload .45. I make .72 caliber paper cartridges.

Black Jeep look familiar. Who's driving that one? You with the NMOR club?

The first 2 pics are when the black vinyl wrap was all over my Jeep. I have since taken off some of it to expose the red color underneath. The last couple pics are the same jeep without the vinyl wrap. I am part of the the New Mexico chapter on the Wrangler forum under the same screen name quarkdude. Do you ever take your "off roader" out here in town?

Damn.. that was black vinyl? That's crazy. Looked good.

I don't have an "off roader" anymore. It's been a long time since I been out to the Puerco. I am gonna build up this F150 as an Expedition Rig though. Doesn't have to be 100% fully self contained if I can pull a nice off road pop up behind me. But, my goal is to get far away from the paved roads and out into boonie lands. If a Razr doesn't fit on those pop ups, then a nice quad should work for my off road desires.
