Most of us on this forum are JK owners, but if you are like me, you may have owned other years and series and can appreciate or drool over other off road vehicles too. This thread is dedicated to the vintage iron, the barn finds, the ones sitting in a field. If you find something worth sharing, post it up!

Yesterday I saw this Jeep Forward Control (FC) getting trailered through Phoenix. Very cool to see it and other than being on a trailer, it looks to be in great running condition which is incredible!

Great thread Greg! Is that some German iron you are riding in?

Glad you guys are on board! We all travel so much, at some point we should come across really cool sightings. And that monster VW is classic!

Yes, that would be the wife's 40mpg hwy Mercedes. Such a slap in my 40" tire running jeep's grill! I know my jeep is what it is, and I don't complain about mileage, but how cool would it be to pull some mpg numbers above 30 on the hwy in our JK's. On our trip to Cali last week, the diesel E-class got 678 miles on one tank.
 
From an event in the downtown area of my city.

I love German cars. Neighbor just picked up a SLK AMG that I got to drive this weekend. What a fun car! It's not getting 40 MPGs though...at least not while I was driving it. ;)
 
Lol. This game might get me killed. Sorry for the bad pics but I was driving 65 at the time.

Saw a sweet old travelall cruising the freeway.

Wishing this could be my next work truck, but I doubt that.

Looking through some pics that we took on our way out to the 2012 JK-Experience, I came across this beauty...

Here's a rig I saw on my way to work a few months ago. I hit the trucker up on the CB and he said he was taking it to some military test place or something.. I'm sure he could say exactly.. The front was mean looking, but could not get a pic.
Looked very nicely equipped!
