ehh I thought about going.
Last time I went it was mostly ricers with the exception of a few nice muscle and some stupidly lifted shiny trucks , and of course the "rat rods"
I think ill put n some time on the one ton swap. Should be rolling by this weekend so I can tear it down and get er geared.

Rat rods are just as gay as any of the other junk down there. The only difference is those guys don't cover their booger welds with bondo and an overpriced paint jobs.

I personally like some of the rat rod stuff... it's neat seeing some of that stuff repurposed.

I remember them being yj's too... That movie is to old for them to be TJ's ain't it?

Yea they can ruin some nice vehicle at Spade's, but i have always been a car audio nerd and some of the stuff they do is not too bad... But some of it can be pretty over the top...

I might run down there later today? What's it cost to get in this?

Ironically we rented a movie last night and it had an advertisement for the Jurassic Park movie set that showed the YJ's a couple of times.

yup ...x2 on spade crap. although i was diggin the flat black big rig.

the guy with the mechanical bull let me climb under it and see how it operates. that was cool.ive been wanting to build one for years and got most of the electric over hydraulic figured out but theres one pivot operation i just cant get. and of course my phone cam dosent have a flash so it dident come out. i did verify its a true 10 way joystick/ manifold on control panal though.
