Brian Stewart

I've always loved anything with wheels and an engine. I've owned 15 cars and two motorcycles in the past 11 years. It all started when my dad and I picked up a 1974 Dodge Challenger when I was 15 years old. We restored the car in just under 3 years and I drove it my senior year in high school. I picked up a 1983 Dodge Ramcharger for the winter months and realized how much I loved off roading. After the Ramcharger rotted out I picked up my 1991 YJ and the real addiction began. After breaking it, fixing it, breaking it, and upgrading it about 1000 times over a 10 year period it became what it is today. I picked up the TJ with the intentions of leaving it pretty much stock (haha). After realizing how well it does off road I decided to part out the YJ and build the TJ. Car number 16 will be coming after I build the TJ and need a new daily driver. My current motorcycle is a 2011 Yamaha Raider S 1900. I also enjoy camping, fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, guns, hunting and anything that involves being outside.

James Blackburn

I’ve been into anything from quads and dirt bikes to jeeps and trucks since I was a kid. I love getting out and going wheeling. I have built several different jeeps and really appreciate what it means to be a “jeeper.” And as long as I have something to wheel you can catch me on the trail almost every weekend.

I got my first Jeep as a junior in high school (1972 Grand Waggy) and drove it through most of college. I bought my first Wrangler a few years later, with the intention of leaving it stock (yeah right) and it has been all down hill since then. My wife picked up her JK after several years of driving Grand Cherokees.
