Back in the day

[Mumblewood]

Sooo, board and went through some of my uncles old pic’s.
This is how I grew up

Me my brother and sister in 1979, I’m in the goggles and 3 1/2 behind our Dads flatfender. My uncles flatty is xt to us and he’s the adult in the pic

 

[Mumblewood]

My brothers old flatty in the late 80’s he still has it but it’s being rebuilt along with his CJ5 so he’s wheeling his JK

 

[Mumblewood]

My uncles old flatty that my cousin now owns, it won’t leave the family, pic from the ‘70’s

 

[Mumblewood]

Dads jeep( he still owns it and takes it out sometime, with my uncle. Circa late 70’s

 

[Mumblewood]

Random jeepin pics from the late 70’s -80’s. From the club I grew up in

 

[Mumblewood]

What my dads jeep looks like now, a few years back we stretched the tub in the seats and shortened the cargo area. He’s now at something like a 93” WB

 

[Mumblewood]

What it looked like just before the stretch

Damn, now those are some cool pictures! That had to be a pretty fun childhood, no?

I wouldn’t trade it for anything, it was a family thing ya know, my parents, brother and sister, uncle and aunt and my 3 cousins, absolute blast! The club I grew up in were/are really a tight knit group that I still keep in touch with and wheel with a few of them. Now my brother and his family and me and my family still wheel, just with another really tight knit family oriented group that I’ve been wheelin with since before kids. What more could I ask for in jeepin community. Hell the “ol man” still comes out every so often to wheel, but mainly to tell old stories about old wheeling trips and to hang out with the grand kids. My uncle got into sand rails since his back got too bad to crawl in and out of the ol jeep so I try to do a yearly dune trip with him.
Fun that’s for sure

I love those paint jobs.

Same here, I’d do my Jeep up like that but I don’t think it’d look right, not the right era

The reason my Dads first paint colors were what they were, was because he recently got out of drag racing for Rainier Beer and and had some left over paint.

I think that's really cool that wheeling has been in the family, and you've kept it that way.

I'm assuming you're carrying on the family tradition with your kids? If so, I'm sure they'll have lots of great memories as well. Wish my parents did that with me when I was that age!

Hell yeah i do, my son
Loves jeepin , and is my favorite passenger. He gets mad at me when I go and he can’t come along. In fact the cool thing is that the group I’ve been wheelin with has kids now and we all bring them most of the time now

Very cool! I can't wait until my kids get to be old enough that they might actually enjoy it

For a kid the right age, I would assume this would be a blast. Much better for them than letting their brains rot on tablets and TV!

Yeah, you should see my search history, it’s always “pinstriping , gasser and Lowrider” paint jobs. Because to me that’s art! I’m picking us a new skateboard blank this week to hone my skills this week, it’s been a minute since I’ve done some paint work and there’s a giant canvas called my Jeep hood

Pinstripes, Lace work, candy metal flake now we talking my language...Im a signwriter from back in the day (22yrs ago) old school with the brush, and I"ve just started to pick up the brush again and try my hand at pinstriping.
Already found an old skateboard and motorcycle tank that I've painted up ready to practice on...I pinstriped my center console in the TJ as a fist attempt would love see some of your work when your finished.
