    23rd ORT in The Lone Ranger – Moonlight Racing 3-15-14

Apparently you need to knock on the door to…

    1st ORT in the TJ – Moonlight Racing 1-31-15 Our first trip out in the TJ was an easy shake down run to Moonlight with the boy.  I was somewhat concerned as to how well the boy (and wife) would tolerate the rawness of the TJ.  The last wheeler (1994 Ranger) was pretty plush with a decent interior, A/C, and sound deadening.  So the TJ is a step backward in those departments.  But my fears were unfounded and it turned…
