Still here! :shocked:
I actually just came over here because, amazingly, I just now learned of Jason Payne's accident and immediately many fond memories of ORC flashed through my mind. I could always tell he'd be a great guy to wheel with but I never got the chance. I still remember seeing one of his first pics and thinking "what is this 12 year old going to do with that massive truck?".
. A truly great loss.
On a lighter note, the Bronco is way gone and now my brother and I are building an XJ crawler. We previously had a Yota on 38s that was unstoppable. I have a 9 month old boy and he's having a kid in March so we'll see how much wheeling time we actually get :smirk:
Good to see you folks still milling around!

It's been a while for me, since I was last here. Like many, it was my first forum. I was here when you didn't need to register to post around 97ish. Then when they changed that, I just lurked for a while.
I try to stay out of forums these days. I get more done. I did buy a 2013 double cab short bed TRD Tacoma a few weeks ago, so I've been going through the taco forums a bit just to see what bugs people have found and fixed etc. Other than my old 82 Toyota, I don't have much experience with tacos so I figured I better get familiar.
Lots of good times back in the day here in these forums though.

Hm. Not certain where my reply from an hour ago or so went.
Anyway, I don't mind Fords but I'm not a fan of Expeditions or the late 90's F150's. Had a '96 Ranger I loved.
Then again my current Chevy is actually a Suzuki and my 6th one at that.
Soon enough I'll have another Chevy fullsize.
Mmmmm...Cummins beefy good...mmm...

Started thinking about the old gang, and got all nostalgic and whatnot. Decided to take a drive through the old stomping grounds. I sure hope time has been kind to you all. I know several are no longer with us, sadly.
As for myself all is well. I'm happy and healthy.. my oldest daughter graduates this year and my youngest starts HS. Time marches on..
Still have the K5, but it sits a lot lately. Sold my 82 Toyota for a large sum, so it was easy to say yes. Still have my 97 Z71 .. my oldest daughter drives it and loves it. I now drive a 2013 Toyota Tacoma, and my wife still has her H3 and likes it. My youngest daughter wants it when she turns 16 so we may have to figure out a new vehicle for the wife. We'll see.

Been a while
Interesting to see some familiar folks still here. I still have the 94 GMC. In fact, I was looking for some pics of front suspension so I did a google for "94 GMC Yukon" and the first two images that came up were pictures of my truck that I posted on this forum years ago when it was shiny and purty. That's how I ended up back here.
