Ok let’s dig way back in everybody’s memory. Post a picture of your rig when you went on the very first GATR club ride. The picture doesn’t have to be from the ride but the picture does have to be what the rig looked like.
Mine was a 2003 TJ with 33” tires and I think 4” lift

No my first ride was gatrclaus 2014. But yes i remember asking if i could get in front of you so i could watch booby's line. In all honesty the real reason was so we could get away from the cloud of smoke you call an exhaust.

Took me a while to find a pic of how my jeep looked then (last pic, before lift and tires), but I found some pics from my first trip with the group at AOP (2012 or 2013?) with Wes, Jared, Steve, Mark (I think) and a few more. A few months later is the parking lot shot at gulches and what i think was John's first trip with his silver JKU?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190314/5c8787d805958a23738031e62d5f9fba.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190314/8465d57c5e0f76f25f4f8478864e65a5.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190314/6cfd1d4e22d4317c93e53de918212f23.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190314/c4e83006dc48d0974dc630d7d87cb33f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190314/cb24bc5946d045b41e649cb428329f99.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190314/1d1c662e4dbeab42b6b7f83b10cdb8fd.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190314/e43510da3dabd92f8a591c91dc3552e8.jpg)

I can’t find pictures of my “first” official GATR ride but I do recall it was At Tellico with Matt, Daniel, Brad, and Adam in a cabin infested with fleas. It was before this photo. I do know that. But here’s a photo of “one” of my first rides also at Tellico in my old YJ.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190314/a6436e65e7b651108520b1ce0e059080.jpg)

Pre-opening was my second GATR ride and my Jeep was the same. These are from that same trail I think.

Great find Pat. That indeed was my first ride with GATR. It was GATRFEST at Gulches in 2012 with my JKU mall crawler. That’s when I caught the bug.

Ok found this one from my first ride. Morris Mtn Feb 2013. I remember meeting Blue Wes and White Wes, Tony, Bobby, Jared, Todd, Marc (?), Alex, Danny, Adam, AJ, YJ Steve and not sure who else. It was freaking cold in the morning. Had a blast that weekend.
I think in the picture is Tony, Wes, me, Wes (or Alex).

Long bed Chevy truck, open/open IFS. Wrong everything, but I took that thing places it shouldn’t have gone.
Morris mountain was my first trip ever to a park . I aired down way to far and spun the tire right off the rim,and it rolled down the hill, and still drove another 100 yards up the hill across from the steel bridge without knowing it was gone.
Picture is from Gulches, fuel pump went out right there!

Yup. That's my green JKU with factory wheels, fenders and a monster bumper before I even got a lift. Good times! lol

Has anyone been up that way in the past couple of years? I heard they paved trail 1 and you can still drive through there between Murphy and Tellico Plains. I almost detoured over there the last time I was passing through Murphy but didn’t have time. I’m just interested to see what it looks like now.

River Rock 2007 was my first ride. Took a perfectly good TJ and beat the crap out of it. Broke a gas gauge/float in the tank and TKO’d one of the side steps. That may have been the last time anything on 33s went through the rat hole. Good times.

June 2010 was my first ride with GATR
4'' lift on 35's with 3.07 gears
Dana 30 and Dana 35 > open/open

A few years back I went by after riding Tellico Durhamtown. It was a sad sight. Trail 1 was paved & all the trails off of it were graded smooth & gated off. I walked to cement bridge that was built a year or two before the closure & all of the silt fences were falling over or totally buried under silt.
I still want to go back & walk to Fains Ford & slickrock.

Long armed TJ on 35s locked with 4:88
First trail ride was AOP a few years ago. CFR 2017

I think River Rock 2007 was my first ride with the group. This was when the white jeep was still orange.

Pretty sure that is White Wes, not Alex.
That was the freezing cold night that Alex had a broken arm in a cast and had too sleep with it outside of the sleeping bag. He said it was the worst night of his life.

It was the FS ride in 2010 or early 2011 and it rained the entire time. I was bone stock at the time.
