Hi all, I'm new here, so be gentle...

Thought I'd post a pic of my daily ride, a 1988 Wagoneer Limited. It has a 2" boost, lots of extras, and I recently put MoPar cop car rims stuffed with BFG AT's on it, downsizing from 30" rubber to 235's. It is used on the beaches in Delaware and NJ for surf fishing, and boasts 305K miles on the clock and is still ticking!

The rack up front is a cooler and rod rack for surf fishing. I get some real strange looks from folks when I travel to parts of the country that don't have beaches...

I get to the North Wildwood area about once a year. Haven't had the opportunity to get up to Island Beach or Sandy Hook... I mostly hit the Delaware beaches, down around Cape Henlopen. I live fairly close to them...

Thanx y'all!

XJ, you've got some nice wood there! I made the toy jeep in the avatar out of a Majorette 1/60th scale Cherokee I got off of ebay. I had some wood grain left over from when I had the real one painted, so I used the scraps to give the toy one wood. The paint is some spray bomb touch up from Pep Boys. The lift is homebrewed...
