Member Spotlight: The Slattery’s and the “Slatticon”

2005 Jeep Wrangler (TJ). 33” Goodyear MTR’s, Dana 30 with 4.56 gears and ARB locker up front.

The Slattery’s have owned this rig since 2010 and joined the SB4WDC in June 2016.

The Slattery’s have done several trips with the Club including TDS, Big Bear, Randsburg and the Rubicon Trail. I hope to have many more adventures in the years to come.
