Since we all are car guys, I figure we probably all have pics of our old cars. Here's mine, minus a few VW's and a work truck or two. These are from a span almost 20 years. I'll be posting another thread to see how your old stuff got modded over time.
My first Jeep when I was in Highschool 79 CJ V8 Quadratrac
ai594.photobucket.com_albums_tt28_jthomason_My_20cars_79Cj.jpg

Drove a VW or two and then moved to a Blue 89 YJ Islander (no pic) only on 31s. Then went to the XJ
ai594.photobucket.com_albums_tt28_jthomason_My_20cars_GrayCherokee.jpg

After the XJ I built my first Bronco!
ai594.photobucket.com_albums_tt28_jthomason_My_20cars_lifteddriver.jpg

ai594.photobucket.com_albums_tt28_jthomason_My_20cars_73uwharrie.jpg

I was driving back and forth to College and ended up selling to build a ZJ or two Green first then the 5.9L
ai594.photobucket.com_albums_tt28_jthomason_My_20cars_94Jeep.jpg

ai594.photobucket.com_albums_tt28_jthomason_My_20cars_lfront.jpg

Eventually sold them because they were just too nice to wheel and drive everyday so I went back to a trail ride and a hauler.
Here's a pic of my first hauler. 01 Excursion PSD. Bought it to tow my construction equipment and haul my blue 71 Bronco. No good pics of the Bronc, but I'll post later about it's 10 year transformation. Here it is pretty much how I got it.

Did you sell or buy the lift on your ZJ on JeepsUnlimited. If so I think I bought or sold it to you years ago. Your name and town seem way to familiar. I used to live in NJ if it helps.

My first truck, all stock when I got it: 1992 Silverado, 3" body, 3" suspension, 35's.
Sold it to a guy in Benson, wish I could find it, would love to have it back.

Also had a 1979 GMC Longbed on 11" and 39's

After that got a 2006 Colorado, 4cyl, nothing special.

2007 Dodge Ram QCSB
ai819.photobucket.com_albums_zz116_ccfd_dennis_Trucks_20and_20Cars_P8030881.jpg


Needed something better on gas, so I got this:

ai819.photobucket.com_albums_zz116_ccfd_dennis_Trucks_20and_20Cars__6181145.jpg


Needed something even better on gas, so I traded it for my current ride a 2011 Chevy Cruze.

My current project:
