Well Ill be, finally a south east forum. Then again it may have been here a while. I havent even logged into here in a few months. /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif

Oh yeah Im here in Fla too. /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

Its my birthday. I bought myself a membership to CK5. Glad to see other Crackers out there like me. I own a 80GMC shortbox on 38s. Nothin special, but it gets to the good huntin spots around the Glades. I'll get a pic in soon.

where in naples are you? what color is your truck.. almost guaranteed ive seen it around.. i live in fort myers, maybe a half hour or so north of you!.. just sold my k10..

I live near the airport. I just created a web page for you to go to cause I don't know crap about how to post a photo like you did./forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Sorry to hear about your K10.

that picture.. at the 'pan?? looks framiliar.. anwyways just bought myself a 1993 grand cherokee for my next project..

No, its east of 75 off bonita beach rd. But with all them paper trees it shor nuf looks the same? I'm sure that Jeep will be something. What are you gonna do to it? I'll assume a lift up and not down right? Man just wait till you see this kick ass Blazer I'm geting ready to buy. I'll post it when it gets here.

This is my first posting of a picture. It took me forever to teach my self how to create a webpage to do it. I hope I did it right.

Shoot, it did'nt work. I think the file was too big. I'll try again later.

Crap again. see forum "Garage" "How do you post pics?"

Former Florida Cracker here. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif Grew up in Ft. Pierce, just a little north of Palm Beach. Went to school in Tampa and lived in Melborne for a few months. But the grass was greener elsewhere, so away I went! Moved away in '79 and have only been back for family visits since then. The family moved to Austin, Texas so now I suppose that I'll only be going to Florida to take my kids to see Mickey (and empty my wallet!). /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

My first wheelin' rig there was a '71 Jeep Wagoneer. Didn't know much about what I was doing, but I sure had fun with it! I did grow tired of picking swamp vegetation from the underside of it though... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif That stuff would be clinging to every part of the suspension after a day in the mud. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Man, I'm gettin good at this pic post thing. Check out this Blazer I think I might buy. I've realized it costs to dang much to build one like this myself even though its always cooler to build it yourself. I wouldn't rightly know exactly how anyway. Heck this Blazer won't be cheap either if I get it. What do you think?

where's that blazer at and how much is he asking?
theres one near me for 5500 "firm", says its got 10k invested, looks like a big block, 10" of lift and 38s, 14bff and 10b... i could get the number if you're interested..

Thank for the email. The cookie clearing thing worked! I should be getting that new blazer next week on April fools day.

hey no problem, when you get back with that blazer ill have to ride along with ya when you get it filthy! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

just joined, knee deep in work right now, but I wanted to say hey, I'l lget pics up later.

Wow, not many Florida Crackers are members anymore. Welcome aboard, you'll find alot of entertainment region here in the SE section and quite a few wheeling trips going on throughout the year, although you might have to make a good drive from Florida to get any good trails

Hey 79Stomper,
I bought the dually so it could multitask. Haul my non Chevy offroad vehicles to where I want to go, then go in and get them if the break. But, as you know, we NEVER break anything!!!

IS there a trip in the works

I have a place in Punta Gorda, does that count?
I'll be there in a couple weeks.

if trip means roads, I wouod think that when we talk about trips here, we are not talking roads. So, I will ask, anyone getting an offroad trip together soon?

There is one this weekend in Uwharrie but not worth the drive from Florida. We just had our Annual Tellico run a few weeks ago so probably nothing big until sometime next year. Some people in Alabama migh tbe planning something down there at Gray Rock but not sure. I am sure they will see this and post up if anything is going on.

Towrig is a great tool, glad I have one. Now all I need to do is assemble the trail rig to wheel

I am going to check it out a spot this weekend, I'll post here and let yawl know about it, but I would be up to making that twice a month. I live in Palmetto, which is between Tampa and Sarasota.

I haven't been here (CK5) in a LONG time so I've lost track of who's who. I still recognize a few names but don't know most. I had some serious medical problems (back) and life was put on hold for a year or so. I met some folks on another board when I moved here - NWFL4x4 or something like that - but lost track of them too.

I haven't wheeled, camped or hunted since 2004 - right before I moved to Flora-duh, and the truck sat for a good while. I need to fix a few things just to get it road (off-road?) worthy - brake lights would be a good thing to start with (I think it's a broken wire).

Anyway - I renewed my membership and I'm gonna start lurking (and commenting occasionally) again. The forums look TOTALLY different so as soon as I figure out how to post pix, I'll do so.

I think I'll check out what's going on in the lounge. Later!
