Yessireebob!  I shore did. :)  

There's some pretty wild rides owned by the guys that work there.  Randy, the
owner, has a 2WD CJ-5 (no, it wasn't a DJ, but a CJ that 'lost' it's front
drive axle) sand dragger that runs a 350 with a B&M blower, wheelie bar skids
and huge paddles.  Brian, their ace mech, has a 4WD Flattie that runs a 383
Chevy with Hilborn injection and similar equipment to Randy's Five (but drags
in 2WD).  We (the PNW4WDA) had a Show-N-Shine/fun days last summer out next to
a rural grass strip airport and they allowed Randy & Brian to put on an
exhibition drag, but Brian's rig wouldn't start for some reason, so Randy put
on a show by himself.  The Jeep was passing cars on the adjacent highway (50
mph speed limit) while shooting a rooster tail of sod 20-30' in the air.  - 
Boy, I'd like to get a ride in that!  :)  They also have some pretty tricked
out trail rigs, too.  Randy has a nice Cruiser in the works and Brian has
another flattie for trail work.  Both are quite flexible, but Randy says he
still has more work to do on the FJ-40 before he'll feel comfortable driving it
on the street because it's currently _too_ soft.  And there's always some nice
(and no-so-nice) customer rigs hanging around getting the latest goodies
installed.
