Will do Nathan will try and post more pics up from today
There's also lots of firefighters gonna be out there today

Does that other Jeeps sticker say Warthog? Is that a Halo reference?

 

[dcbjk]

Yea it says warthog that's what Reelsilly named his Jeep

 

[dcbjk]

Well I'm back from the ride had a great time working on my pics right now
Even had a chance to meet one my buds I went to high school with hadn't seen him in years I got a few of his Jeep as well

 

[dcbjk]

So I just finished first off totaled up we had 80 jeeps attend this ride with Lenoir and Pitt County police escort
The Eastern Pine fire department bought there ladder truck flying ol glory at the end location where we drove under neath it I was unable to catch a pic of it but it was amazing
D-day claiming its spot in the line up



Warthog at the lead of the lineup showing off its flag


Showing the support of our Firefighter and Police departments

One Jeep to me that stood out was this YJ especially when I heard the lug of the engine when it pulled on line

This YJ was restored nicely and fitted with a nicely built 4bt Cummins Diesel engine and needless to say I bout lost being the first I have seen with a diesel


Here's a panorama of the whole group at the time

This JKUR was another one that stood out to me it was really clean for one but the setup was really nice the guy told me that it was built by a place called rubitrux


This CJ5 was the last one that stood out to me really nice clean restored alittle


We got to our end location which happened to be AJ Murrays in Greenville
Stretching out D-day on the flex ramp prolly most I ever have done on D-day stock as she is I'm proud what more can I say


Might be time for fender trim I wonder


My high school bud had been working on WJ for almost a year fabricating near bout everything there's a lot of body damage I mean character to this WJ but it did great on the ramp it was nice to see him and catch up

To be continued

 

[dcbjk]

Here the WJ with custom suspension and 1ton axles underneath it running 39.5 swampers along with 5.13s the 1 tons consist of a 14 bolt rear and a Dana 60 front



Like I said gotta love the character added to it

Added a bit more this time like the decal says beaten not babied haha

And a bit more on the front


Hope y'all enjoyed the pics it was a great time wish I could've got some more pics but it's all good
Cheers to all

Great pics! Looks like a good turnout!

Thanks bud it was overwhelming seeing all the support which was prolly one of the biggest things we've had happen in our small town of Kinston

 

[dcbjk]

Today was a great day we got a little rain to soak our dried up fields
Me and Kimberly decided to take D-day to get filled up
On the way back a mist all the rain we had it cleared up just at sunset for us to see and enjoy one of natures most wonderful pieces of beauty it has to offer

This double sided rainbow appeared and we were able snap lots of pics hope you enjoy them


D-day being a little camera shy


But I found ways get him in the pics



One of my many favorites and yet the rainbow getting fuller


Just bout home it filled out all the way so we stopped one more time to take it in


I love how the light reflects through it


My last full picture of it before it disappeared

It's amazing how little trip to the gas station can be so beautiful scenic and adventurous I hope y'all will enjoy the pics much as I did
Cheers

Sorry for not putting any updates lately but been really busy with clean up and helping others in need
D-day has been a big help with this time of emergency pulling trees from the road for the most part I took time to take pics I hope you enjoy.
This was day of hurricane me and my wife decided to treat ourselves to a nice breakfast at a Dutch restraunt in Grifton, NC if you haven't been I highly recommend the homemade French toast with homemade maple syrup

After that it was history got zoned out on trying to get home doing last minute preparation long story it took us a long long time to get home after going out to eat with a few friends and going through alit of flood water.

One of the back after crossing the bridge and look at what coming towards me nice looking TJ


One of the many flooded roads in my neck of the woods

Welcome Day 4 as of today

Not to get so detailed but al these photos are of Kinston NC






I will say that in this pic that is a warehouse full of corn the owner of the corn has been loading trucks to try and move the corn out for the past 2 days and was still loading today he was pushing water with his front end loader as of today


This was HWY 258 as of today and just a few hours was considered impassable and closed

It's our church we go to 902 is based off a bible verse that we are based on which is leading people to an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ

Well got D-day all cleaned up yesterday and have been thinking on small interior project



So the project is the addition of an accent color for D-day I figured it would brighten up the inside a bit
I have juggled between a shade of green or blue inside the Jeep lettering of the air ducts and color match yellow on the rest of the surrounding air duct so now I'm asking the WAYALIFE family whats your ideas are for an accent color
Hope y'all enjoy the few pics I took really loving this fall weather

I think blue and yellow would look good. Kinda like the Subaru WRX Ralley car. Good combo. I think it will be really hard to get the lettering painted, it's really small. And we painted all of my wife's interior vents, etc and you have to get it VERY clean. Skin oils, etc from years are stuck there. We ended up stripping the vents and re-doing it 3 times because the paint wouldn't stick. So just giving you a heads up, really clean those good.
