I remember:
When we all would get together and go wheeling. Exploring wimpy(as you called them) logging roads and climbing over crap along the way bringing the digi cam taking pics of everything. It was all about getting away from the city and my rig to me was my freedom machine. I had a welder in my garage and we called it "Jims Monster Garage" I would weld, fab or fix just about anything for my friends and If it was a big job I might ask for some $ for some welding supplies, like argon or wire for the wirefeed. In the whole time I was garageing it, I received a total of 45.00 towards the garage...Most times I would be out in the garage welding and fabbing till 3.00 am Helping out my FRIENDS. I did 4 spring overs with mercedes steering arm comversions and the only thing they had to pay for was their mercedse arm, axle perches, a heim joint and their brake lines which they got locally for under 25.00. I will do anything for my friends and if I got burnt well then I got burnt but it wasnt about competetion it wasnt about making $. Just friends who would do anything for each other and well......... It isnt like that anymore. It's all about who is badder or who has a badder rig or you are a pussy because you drive this or that or you didnt do what this other guy did.. BLA BLA ....
Hey I won the 100.00 give away (which I was greateful for) down at the shop and that was cool but the 100.00 was only for labor not parts and I was unable to get what I needed done with out spending an additional 400.00 I have done everything on my rig on my own up to this point for free labor so I cant see spending $$ for labor so I gave away the gift certif ... no biggie !
The way I see it women and men are equal and to have a womens rock comp event is a mistake. Heather with the sidekick is the best woman wheeler I have ever seen but she draws the line at smashing sheet metal so I dont think she would even consider competing. She keeps her kick washed and waxed and as far as I have seen dent free. she can turn the wheel and shift just as good as any man why segregate the women from the men..Besides your zuk is better built than most men owned jeeps or otherwise and you know who would win a womens only comp? right!.....DUH ...YOU! for 2 reasons
1) you would probably be the only woman competing from this state.
2)your zuk was built by the only shop/legit buisness in the state that has the know how to build a comp rockbuggy or atleast thats what I have seen
to have been proven
kind of an unfair advantage . Ya THINK?
The majority of people here in idaho arent ready to even compete on this level and arent motivated in that direction, ie. pockets not deep enough priorities differ ......I dont have anything against you guys/gals but This is my view and opinion you can hate me if you like I think it should be kept simple...simple and fun and about friends helping friends
THAT IS WHY I AM SELLING MY SUZUKI
