Mel loves all things offroad and he just sold the Truck you are referring to. He has had that for a while and used it as a chase vehicle in the Baja races in Mexico. I went to the shop 3 years ago with my old JK to get some input and ideas for used axles when I was considering an axle swap vs buying aftermarket and he immediately took me out under a powerwagon and crawled under one with me showing the mods needed to run tone rings and showing me the problems with running a front D60 from a new Ford due to the casting of the knuckles.
So long story short, he drives and appreciates everything and the Ultimate Adventure is a trip of all types of 4x4s not just jeeps. :yup:
