Post up your vintage wheeling pics and any pertinent information (year, location, rig details, backstory, etc.) For the purposes of this thread, vintage is anything pre-JK :flipoff2: ~15+ years old, the older, the better.

I'll have to try and dig through some pre-digital pictures for the good stuff, but here are a few just to get the thread started.

This one is a few years too new per my criteria, but I included it due to the Nostalgia of the large spectator crowds back when Chile Challenge was still held in Las Cruces :flipoff2:

That Suburban looks exactly like the 81 I bought from GSA Auctions that was from the US Geological Survey. I'll post it up later.

My father sent me a few pictures of his old 3/4 ton Suburban up at the Ruby Mine in the Organ Mountains in the late '90s




Ive wheeled and drank beer by the old shackthere with my bud and his pops. he lives about 5 miles away so we hit it after work a few times when i was in cruces for work. :grinpimp:
 
Haha, Thornturds! Haven't seen any of those in a while.

I'll have to find some old pictures to post up.
