I was carded...while at work!
#1
Hi all,

I had some trouble getting the forum registration process to work, so I have not had write access to the forum to leave a post. Now that that is all straightened out, I figured I might as well (attempt to) write a "Howdy from a forum newb" post. Since I had time to think about it, I decided to write more than I would have otherwise.


The day started off like most others, however this day was a nice day to have a bikini top on my Jeep, I placed it on and headed off to work.

After a nice trip to lunch with some coworkers, great Mediterranean food on a patio, it was time to head back. There is just something nice about a open Jeep ride at lunch time, the smells of the restaurants, the nice weather, and not being at work.

Once back back to work, well at least the parking lot, I decided to park under a a nice shady tree. From a distance I saw a open spot on each side of another Wrangler. Perfect parking spot to park a Wrangler.

As I parked, I saw why the other Wrangler had none of those nice office sedans and SUVs parked next to it. Besides not having bumpers, fenders and a back seat, there were dings, dents and scratches on each side. Was that a spider I saw in the back seat area? Then there was the license plate, "FATBOB", just begging one of the nice Lexus there to park next to it.

Time passes as I was working. When I came out to my Wrangler, the other one was gone. As I approached my Jeep, a reminder of its presence was staring back at me. I was carded...while at work!

The web site name on the card caused me to pause at its meaning, and then I saw the little logo in the corner. Apparently I was right, so I hurried home to check out the web site, and leave a greeting post.

As I mentioned, that took a while, such is life.

Since that time, I met Bob in person. Can I call you Bob? Should I call you Fat Bob? Is there a good story behind getting that license plate? Inquiring minds want to know.

As for the web site, I know remember coming here once before, in the past. I bought a Shrockworks Schrockbar from 4x4RockShop and posted a review blurb there. Later saw one here. Nice rock sliders.

I added a pix from a well know trail, can you guess where it was taken from?

We have a winner. It could also be on the way to the Coke Ovens, but with the way my Jeep is pointing, this was on the way back. I think this is the first gate keeper type obstacle from the box canyon side.
