Me, Robert A.M. Stephens, YIKES!

Welcome. If I wasn't straight, I'd hook up with you just to drive your Jeep.

Nice hat.

Haha. Oddly, most all Archaeologists have been wearing a brown fedora since 1902. Indiana Jones copied the style for the movies. And that hat was a gift from Harrison Ford, as he has one of my NASA paintings he bought.

Thank you,

Robert

I wish the fedora would make a comeback.

Welcome Mr. Stephens,
Look forward to discussions of newest archeology finds you may want to share.

And here is my Jeep and matching 1944 Army Jeep Trailer.

And here is the rear view of VEX with the rear 12,000 lb. winch setup and the can/tire rack I welded up for it. I like gluing metal together, so did all mechanical and weld up work myself.

Robert

Winches front AND rear! Very cool! Welcome!

THANK YOU ALL YOU DEAR PEOPLE HERE-- and yes, I am "yelling!" Very very kind from you all, and I am most thankful as this is such a fun, coherent, good place. What a refresher. Most kind.

From my heart!

Thank you so much. Well, there is a story about the twin winches an all, since there is no other Jeep on the planet quite like this, its actually far less "cool" than one imagines.

Ok, about 30 years ago, I went for a period of getting so totally stuck that it was hopeless, and I am so stupid at times I get myself constantly in some sort of a jam, still do. So, I studied my Jeep, 11 Jeeps back from VEX, and I was so buried it took me a week to get out, down in Bolivia.

So, like everyone else, I had and did mount one winch on the front. However, during that most severe stuck in South America, it dawned on me (duh!), that the front mounted winch was actually for everything-everyone else. That rarely, if never, did I want to winch myself deeper into my normal fuckups.

So, I got the very amazing epiphany, duh, to mount some sort of winch on the back of my Jeep. Well no shit.........NASA-boy engineering stuff kicked in and I thought logically.....

I did it, and was never stuck. Then, I decided, with the larger and larger alternators and running 2 1000 amp batteries, go with the biggest winches there was available. And thus, By the time VEX came on line as my main ride, 20 years ago this month, I went with 12,000 lb. winches front and rear.

And, since, I have never been stuck whereby I could not get out, even in places like this below, doing this sort of stupid shit:

Thus, the winch on the front is for everything and everyone else. The one on the back is for ME!.

Thank you for your good words.

Robert

That is a nice jeep, but what's that waterfall pic though? Is it a photo-chop joke, or are you seriously trying to pass it off as real?

Two words:

Indiana ******* Jones.

There are plenty of places like that out in the mountains. It appears to me from some of the evidence on the peripherals that a crude bridge has been washed out. Happens all the time after heavy rain or snow melt off. If it was me I would have run my cable across first and winched over the rocks. That is if he had a remote he could operate inside the cab. There are some really cool remotes that operate high amp 12volt systems. I have installed a few of them on yachts to operate bow and stern thrusters.

That Jeep is pretty badass. Glad to have you at the USMB... even if you really are a white-shoe CIA psyops disinfo schill for the Globalist Banksters.

Welcome, Robert. I've already read some of your contributions and I'm fascinated with your knowledge. You've received a goodly number of "nice" hellos here, but if you venture into politics, you'll find that can change in a heartbeat. Hope you have a strong one!
