Check out my new Jeep - 06-29-2008, 08:52 PM


After my last trip to BBSP and carrying around all my gear I decided to get a baby stroller. I have seen others do it so I thought I would give it a try and save my back. Tried it today at the zoo and I love it. I should have done this sooner.

yeah, I used some 1 1/4" grey electrical pvc conduit. drilled one hole in it. two holes in the fender and used one zip tie. Left a little loose so that the top of it would move or swivel. The two clamps are just one of those tool holders from home depot to hold brooms, rakes etc... I cut it and bolted it on the tray.

I saw it there also but I did not care for the color scheme (orange and black) as well or I probably would have bought it there.

Ha Ha........ Maybe.......probably depends on what your age is and what kind of shape you are in. I am not in great shape so I tend to look for advantages
