Welcome back Jude(sminkey)
 

Guys,
I'm sure some of you remember Jude aka sminkey, he used to be a member on here, I talked to Roland last night about him, and sent Jude an email letting him know that he would be welcome here, that said, welcome back Jude, hope to see you post here later.:beerchug:

Cool!!:beerchug: I've missed seeing him on here. Welcome back Jude!!

Good to be back!
 

Thanks guys! Has been a long time and a lot has changed for me. Thanks cubcadet & Roland👍. Long story short, since I was last on here I met a woman😜 and have lived together now for 3 years. She's awesome and when we met I was finishing my 71 refurb. It was one of the things that attracted her to me😁. I sold my whole collection after getting into Jeeps and needed $$ for wheels & tires. Sold it to a cubnut in CT. Afterwards I had sellers remorse and found a mint 1 owner 70 with front blade and #2 trailer. My shop is almost ready to start working on it and give it a full blown restore. This ones a keeper! Run my own Dog Daycare from our house now so I have plenty of time to work on it.

Looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and making some new!

Glad to have you back Jude, nice 71!:beerchug:

Can't wait to see some pics of your 70 AND your jeep! I have an 89 YJ with a 3.0 Mercedes turbo diesel:beerchug:

Jude,
Great to have you back! I see you still like the 7 horse gear drives! You did an awesome resto on that loader. Sorry to hear it went down the road. Look forward to your posts. Once again, welcome back. :beerchug:

:bigthink: :popcorn:

Welcome back Jude!! There certainly is nothing like hearing from an old friend--glad to see you post back on the forum. You have many good friends here. Just sorry to hear that you got tangled up with some woman....but if you eliminate them altogether, well then your selection becomes very limited. :biggrin2: At least she thinks your tractor is sexy!

Welcome back Jude, glad to see you're still Cubbin.

Lol
 

Thanks for the welcome backs. Good to be back! Here's a pic of the 70 & my Jeep all ready for parade tomorrow. I'm president of VT Jeep Association and I'll be leading 10-15 jeeps in parade. Also picked up a new Kubota recently too, I'll post up a pic if it.

Here's my 2012 Jeep JKU

And 1 more
 

Quick pic of my latest toy, I mean workhorse!

Welcome Jude. Nice JKU with KM2s. I ran them on all my jeeps. Great mud terrain, not too loud on the street and great all around tire. Great looking jeep and nice toys

How do you cut grass with this?

Thanks Alvy! Love the KM2's, won't use another tire. Except maybe the Krawler.

We have lawn crew to do that Yosemite👍

Very nice 70 and jeeps Jude, that kubota is really nice.:beerchug:

What are we watching and thinking about?

I'm not sure if I was here when you were a member previously, I joined 02-10-2010 Anyway welcome back. :beerchug:

Nice looking Bota and the RV in the background doesn't look too bad.

Nice toys!! Here's my rig:beerchug::biggrin2:

Mercedes diesel transplant? LOVE IT. I'm assuming that's a YJ?

PS sorry about making this a derailed jeep thread but that's just cool

I'll 2nd that one. Sweet transplant ��

Thanks Sam Mac & cub123!

Thanks!
Yup,a YJ with a OM617 5 cyl turbo diesel and a bunch of other stuff.

Thanks! You'll have to come to VA and go jeeping, lol.
