While I was lucky enough to spend a better part of my youth off-roading and exploring the Mojave Desert, I have to say that the 2000 TJ Wrangler Sport that Cindy and I bought back in 1999 was the very first Jeep that either of us had ever owned. In fact, it was the ONE that started it all and was ultimately what helped to create, WAYALIFE. Unfortunately, taking pics of this Jeep was never really a priority for us or at least, when we first got it and this is to say nothing about filming it with a video camera. And, even if it were, what would we do with them? Certainly, there was no such thing as social media back then, the internet was just starting to graduate from dial-up to broadband and we were still taking photos with a 35mm camera.
Well, as luck would have it, digital cameras were just starting to become a thing and in the same year we bought our TJ, we also bought this awesome marvel of cutting edge technology - a Sony Mavica FD-91!
With then, super impressive 1028x768 XGA resolution and a 14X image stabilized optical zoom, the FD-91 could take up to about a dozen pics that got stored on a 1.4 MB floppy disk. Needless to say, the amount of photos we could take with it, was still somewhat limited.
That said, I recently started digging though some of our old archives and with the hopes of finding whatever pics I could. And, that's what I hope to share with all you in this thread - never before seen pics from our past.
To kick things off, here are the very first pics we took of our then new, 2000 Jeep TJ Sport soon after bringing it home.
More pics to come
