Well I have been signed up to this site for a while now just have never posted anything. I am a active duty Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton and am originally from San Diego. I have been into the desert my whole life. First bike was when I was three and it was a Honda 70 quad. In fact I still have it and it will be my kids first bike. I am married and have one kid. The wife is a Marine and is originally from Orange County. I got into racing back when I was about 7 years old, I am 25 now. It was dirt bike racing in SCORE. Then in 1998 I got into class 10. But now with the economy the 10 car is a garage queen and I help Drive with there races. I joined this site back when I had a Bronco that I was building. A lot of good info on here. Well I ended up getting rid of it but I do have a 93 F150 4x4 that I plan on making my toy truck later down the road. I also have a 93 Explorer 4x4 which is the family cruiser, a Dodge 3500 that is the tow truck, WRX wagon which is the wife's car, and my toy caddy. I will post up some pictures of my current cars and some specs.

I'm glad you decided to come out from lurking! :D
& I must say the wifes got a pretty sporty wagon.

You've got some nice toys, a shame you sold the Bronco though....

How long you been in the service?
Have you been out of the country yet?

I had too many Broncos and the deployment tempo and stepped up a lot so I had no time to work on anything.

I have been in for over 8 years. I have been to 13 different countries last time I counted. And a couple countries multiple times. I am sure you can guess which ones those are.

My buddy had it sitting in his backyard so we threw some parts in it to go have some fun. Well I ended up keeping it and use it to go cruising with the family. It really needs tires. I have a hard time not doing burn outs. I really like it because it is unique and gets lots of looks.

The only thing it looked like it needed was air conditioning.

Yea I have not looked at hooking it up. Everything is there. At least on the car side. I just need the stuff for the motor.
