Thanks for letting me join such a great group. I'm an old guy, with an old TJ, but it's set up to drive and I like hitting the trails. I work at the Denver Federal Center, and have been here since January this year, and will be here another couple years, unless I get moved. I've been poking around in mountains since I was a baby, backpacking, horsepacking, and four wheeling. We used to call it work, putting out salt and mineral to cows, fixing springs, etc.
Anyway, here's the rig:
