Twister gets another Jeep should be the caption for this photo.

We were all out wheeling on Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer Texas when I decided to give it a try. After all CJ8Larry had just made it up and made it look easy. As I was climbing into my Jeep I seem to remember a voice saying don’t do it. That rock on the left hand side will get you every time. Now you would think that voice was inside my head but it was really the very wise Rusty Jeep trying to save Jackpot Girl some cash. But as some of you know, I did not listen to that voice and it led to some Poison Spyder upgrades to our CJ7. But in all honesty it really is CJ8Larrys fault for making it look easy.

Thanks for the votes everyone.

Congratulations to Jeff “Trex” Wright on winning the December 2018 JOTM contest!

Congratulations to Larry “cj8larry” Pacos on winning the November 2018 JOTM contest!

This picture was taken on one of the look out points on Last Dollar Road in Ouray, Colorado in September. A picture never really does justice in trying to capture how awesome the views are out there. This was our 4th trip to the San Juan Mountains and it never gets old.

Congratulations to Kevin “hondo” Plemons on winning the October 2018 JOTM contest!

This was the trail coming down from the Flag Pole hill trail at wolf caves. The picture was taken by Cal from CK Customs.

Congratulations to Rick “Hardtimes” Spigelmyer on winning the September 2018 JOTM contest!

This pic was captured at BMRA a few months ago on the exit to Sunday Cruise. Eric Barnes from Southern High Rollers (took the pic) and I were there looking where a TJ went end over end the day before on the ledge. Guess it’s safe to say you don’t want to do this trail backwards. Pictures never do justice but anyone that’s been on this trail knows the exit is steep with a ledge.

Congratulations to Darla “Obsession” Ivie on winning the August 2018 JOTM contest!

This picture is of two of my favorite girls, Obsession, my 2015 custom zebra painted Jeep, and Sadie Blue, my Mini Aussie puppy in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower with the red cowboy hat that is located in my hometown of Paris, Texas. I went home to visit this summer and had to take my girls for this great photo op. But don’t let this picture fool you, Obsession is not just a pretty mall-crawler, but also a hard core rock crawler. She is my daily driver, my off-road wheeler/rock crawler, and the apple of my eye. Anyone that knows me, knows how she got her name. She has definitely got me OBSESSED.

Congratulations to Kevin “hondo” Plemons on winning the July 2018 JOTM contest!

This picture from the May trip to Wolf Caves for the Crawl Magazine reader event. Went to the event with CK customs and we wheel all day Friday and Saturday and did about half the park. It was a great run with about 300 other rigs.

Congratulations to Darla “Obsession” Ivie on winning the June 2018 JOTM contest!

Many are surprised to learn that I’m a fairly new Jeeper. Last July, I purchased a 2001 TJ (Ol’ Yeller) for my son, Ethan’s, first car. It is a stick shift so I spent a lot of time driving Ol’ Yeller and teaching Ethan to drive it. I instantly fell in love with this Jeep and the Jeeping community. It wasn’t long before I had decided that my next vehicle would also be a Jeep. And so the search began for me a Jeep… I spent many nights unwinding and scrolling through Auto Trader and looking at Jeeps. It was January of 2018, just another night of scrolling through Jeeps when I can across this unique, stand out, eye catching white zebra Jeep!! It was love at first sight. I had to go see her first thing that weekend. She was even better in person. It was the elusive Zebracon and I was able to barter and make a deal to bring her home. The only thing wrong was I just couldn’t feel the Zebracon name. It wasn’t my baby. It was a matter of days when her new name hit me, the name that she chose and that she named herself!! Obsession!!! She is and forever will be my obsession. She has created a passion and an addiction in me for Jeeps, and even more so once I started wheeling her hard core. Obsession and I are not your regular, run of the mill, pretty to look at, mall crawler. We are the hard core rock crawler and we rise to every challenge. Right now, she has more ability than I do, but she is patiently teaching me to rise to her bar. She has completely overtaken my life, my weekends, and my family!! We are OBSESSED with Jeeps and we owe it all to my Obsession! Stayed tuned!! I plan for there to be lots more Stories to be told about Obsession!!
