First Post - A little about the Dirtbags

First ever post of the adventures of the "Arizona Dirtbags" Jeep club. To log our adventures and trips, pictures etc I decided to start this blog to keep a running commentary on where we have been, what we have found , who went , etc. I will try to put in pictures and comments from past trips, but that might be too hard and we might just start from this point on as there will be many adventures to input.


A little about the club (hehe) Founded: October 2006 when my parents bought their first jeep! A yellow 1984 Cj 7 that my mom calls Tweety bird and hearbye that will be its nickname on the blog. It needs to be lifted so we dont worry about him scraping the underside of it. the old man is doing pretty well for his first jeep, its hard when your that old to control something like that and stay focused. Good work dad... (hehe)


We had been out jeeping a few times since my husband bought his Jeep about 5 months ago and has been busy fixing it up. It is a red Jeep 1979 CJ 7, 6 cil, automatic. It has a wench on the front, leather wrapped bars (thank you Randy). He has had the best time fixing it up his way and its been a great project for him. We have so much fun taking the boys out in it and letting them see the back roads of Arizona that not many other people see. Its a great family thing to do together and we have already gotten much use out of it. Besides, what else would he wrap his leather around? We shall nickname it Red Devil or Little Mule.

Next jeep is a Randy's Rubicon 2006, Silver, 4 inch lift, front and rear lockers, wench, rock hard kit, and all the things that make the guys go ewww and ahhhh like women do about diamonds. Basically Randy has Pimped his ride, harley style. The thing has spikes and Leather on it for god sake. Its very functional which is awesome, more function but has great looks too. Silver Snake has already proven its functionality by pulling two vehicles from the rough on its trips.


I have to say to all, Randy got his Jeep first after he exchanged his donorcycle for it... and we are glad, because we want him around for awhile longer. He has a really cool hot tub... hehe.


Last but not least we have our neighbor who tags along when he isn't working with his boys. His jeep is a 97 Wrangler, green. We like him because he makes us good parts for our jeeps at his shop, so we'll keep him around. He has two boys and they the pals of my two boys so everyone is entertained while the adults relax which is an added bonus.
So there you have it, just a bunch of us having fun. We are all new at this, but who cares! Any comments, questions or whatever (just no mean comments) are appreciated on here... feel free. Till next time...

I just stumbled onto your blog today for the first time. I like your writing style and the pictures. Your club sounds like fun. One minor correction: a wench is a woman of low repute and your friend probably doesn't bring his on your outings. A winch, on the other hand, usually rides unused and unwanted on the front bumper. It is useful for rescuing others and sometimes yourself from places you shouldn't have gotten into.
Please keep up the postings, I look forward to more.
