I think HooDoo is a great name, for the record. It just didn't work out great for us!

Although it was written by a resident of and supposed to take place in Buffalo, WY.I bought my TJ after I moved to New Mexico. I'm near the Valles Caldera, where Walt Longmire's cabin scenes are shot for the TV series "Longmire". When we lived back in Louisiana, my wife and I would watch that show and dream of moving to Wyoming because of the expansive scenery. Unbeknownst to us, lots of the series was filmed in northern NM. We actually didn't realise it until we started considering moving here. It's amazing country out here. After watching the entirety of the series, I began reading all the "Walt Longmire Mysteries" books and really enjoyed them. In the book series, Walt has one deputy that used to be an oil field worker and was tough as a sack of hammers. His nickname in the series was "Double Tough". I liked the nickname, so the TJ became Double Tough. Our overland trailer is "The Red Pony", named after Henry Standing Bear's bar, and my wife's Tacoma TRD Offroad is named "Vic" after deputy Victoria Moretti. I guess you can say we are fans of the Longmire franchise.
For sure. That's why we were so surprised to find out so much of it was filmed in our neck of the woods!Although it was written by a resident of and supposed to take place in Buffalo, WY.

One thing I could never get over with Longmire (or WYO CSI as I like to call it) is how many murders there are. Go though two episodes and you've already surpassed the amount of murders in the entire State for a year. LOL
BTW my profile photo was taken just outside of Socorro, NM.
I think Walt Longmire took more beatings, falls, near drownings, frostbite, gunshots, knifecuts, than the total of the murders.
He is one tough dude. I can't wait to start his last book. I have never seen the Netflix version . Is it good? I bought all 18 books off the internet at one lump, so as I finished one, I just reached for the next one, and will soon start #18.

I enjoyed it. Like any book adapted to TV, there are liberties taken. Still, I think it captured the "feel" of the books decently. Just don't expect an exact adaptation. I still have 4 or 5 books to go.
mine is calvin! (direct inspiration from the picture "life")
Mine is named Woodstock, like the little yellow bird in Peanuts.

As a youngin, a friend and I took to visiting every Fire Station in Columbus Ohio. At the time, I had my 1848 CJ2A.
When we were at a Station on the outskirts of town, we saw an old military 6X6 in the back of the Station. We asked about and the Firefighter told us it was for carrying hose on muddy construction sites. They called it "Muddog".
Some time later, I managed to get my Jeep stuck in the mud. When we finally got it out, I commented that we hadn't had to call for the Muddog to do so, my friend said that I had my own Muddog. I've carried the name through 5 Jeeps now.

I wasn't familiar with Eugene until your post.

You need to find a bumper sticker like in my avatar. It says "I rode the short bus"
I adopted a cat like 3 yrs ago was living in my crawlspace. She’s inside permanent. Never named her great cat. I call my jeep junior for all the appropriate reasons. See my profile. If ya need to know.

I bought my 16 yo daughter a jeep for Christmas. White 01 TJ. She struggled for a bit with what to call it and then something else old and white was on the news. The jeep instantly became Betty White. I hope the TJ lives as long.
