Throwback Thursday - Post your favorite rig pics from the past

[Alpine Warthog]

What's your favorite throwback pics of rigs you used to have (or still do)?

This is my 98 XJ. Still have her. 4.5" Rusty's lift, bumper and sliders. Ford Disc 8.8 rear end. re-geared to 4.56 locked front and rear on 35" Goodyear MT/Rs. I need to do an SYE and get a new driveshaft for her. 183K on the odometer.

Can’t find any of my old YJ but here’s my last ZJ.

XJ’s are the gateway Jeep

My first, a 96 sport. Both in its natural state and Halloween costume

It eventually got a 3” lift and 31x10.50s but I don’t have any pics of that. Sold it over a decade ago after 216,000 miles and a ton of hail damage.

Not Jeep related, but this pic is a favorite of mine.
I still have this car. I'm the little guy standing on the back seat.

'87 SporTruck short box loaded with accessories, lights, 10 Alpine speakers including 2 big subs in a custom box behind the seats (I found carpet fabric to match the original and mounted the jack and handle on top of the box, tried to make it look factory)
Two Alpine amps under the seats.
4.0 with 5 speed, 4x4, tow package, running boards and more.
Wish like heck I still had this thing.

NOT Jeep related, but from the company that owned Jeep back then - my first brand new car - '77 Hornet/AMX. 258, 5 speed, flaming hornet decals on hood and hatch. My first car with AC, PS and PB! Whoooo-hoo! Man, I was set!

Otherwise, if I dug through old photos, boxes of them, I could come up with a whole string of Jeeps - mostly 90s Cherokee, then a string of Grand Cherokees, ZJ, WJ, including the 2004 WJ Special Edition I bought from Dad's estate after he was killed by a sleeping driver.
I should have kept it but it was sitting too much and I had too many vehicles.

I wish I'd kept my MJ too. She was beat to hell though. Not a straight panel on her. Except the hood, but I'd drilled so many 4" holes in it, it was swiss cheese lol

Mine was straight - save for some scratches from pulling wagons and anhydrous tanks through fields,
and the rear bumper I bent when using it to push an outhouse into a pit so I could burn it. That didn't go very well...........

My ‘67 Kaiser-Jeep Wagoneer. Wish I still had it. 232 CID six, “three on the tree” shifter, push-button AM radio. Nothing but pure ‘60s luxury.

2013 Commando Green JK sold to my daughter who still has it. I still have the trailer.

1993 Suzuki Samurai. 6.5 to 1 tcase 31’s and Lockright Lockers. It was a blast

 

[Beach Buggy]

‘93 Wrangle Sport that I bought new in September 1992. I just sold it in 2023 for about what I paid for it.

This is me and my first Jeep. '98 TJ Sport. Absolutely loved that thing, and I've had one ever since. I could take out the carpets and entire dash in about 30 mins. Anyway, my Navy buddy talked me into trying it out behind his home in Georgia. His home is built near a swamp. Too many beers that day, and this is the result. lol. Other 4WD trucks tried to reach us, but only his tractor could get that far into the swamp, so it was a great day!
