What a great score!! I drooled over it for a few hours.
I ended going with the full dessert ironwood primarily because of these reasons.
I don’t know how much more you can get like these.


  • Cutting is Prohibited: Cutting live or dead ironwood trees for timber, woodcarving, or charcoal production is illegal on both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border.
  • Ecological Impact: Ironwood is a "keystone species" that acts as a nurse plant for young cacti and provides shelter for hundreds of desert species. It has an extremely slow growth rate, and taking the wood can cause severe habitat damage.
  • Fallen Wood: Collecting even dead branches is restricted in many protected areas (like national parks or monuments) to preserve natural habitats.
  • Here’s some pictures of this beautiful wood

  • Both knives have hammered flats which is amazing!

Ha! I had drooled over that Ironwood V6 myself! I came so close to pulling the trigger!
Glad you got it. 😎
Btw, I never knew all that about Ironwood!
 
funny back when I was in High School we went out to the desert in California and gathered truckloads of Ironwood to burn in our pit BBQ behind the church for the Buyers BBQ at the county fair.

at the same county fair in CA there were tons of woodcarvings entered in the fair.

The 80's what a crazy time :)
 
So got a bit wild in the jeep...lol! Need a new bumper,passenger side fenders front and rear,and a new rear turn signal. So gonna finally do steel fenders all around and put a new steel bumper on. Possibly a cold air intake?
Then in a few months I may add a 4in lift or just new shocks and tires and stay with a 2in lift.
Of course the wife goes outta town Wednesday for 5 days. So I gotta wait a bit to take it in and order stuff.
Really waiting on the wife to tell me when I can buy my 4runner or Land Cruiser though! Still keeping the jeep as a dog/garbage hauler and off road toy.
 
I have an old 1999 Chevy Suburban that I used for a dog hauler ; we took out the extra seat for room. Now that we are down to one dog she has plenty of room.
 
Well all the jeep parts are ordered. Went with the jeep authorized RedRock bumper, fenders front and rear,Raxiom headlights and tail lights,passenger side inner rear and front fenders...nothing fancy just stock plastic.
Decided to skip the cold air intake. As for the lift I dont know? I have a rubicon unlimited with 2in lift already and some big elderly getting dogs. So im just gonna do a 2-3in lift just with better components.
Getting these dogs in is easy because I can help them,but jumping out would be hard for them. No! Ramps wont work. They refuse to use them.
I eventually wanted to upgrade parts on my jeep,but this wasnt the plan...lol

I dont remember the last time my back seats were up? The leather looks new i know that much. In the cargo area I have a dirty dog 4×4 liner with pieces that bridge the gap when the rear seats are down and a dog bed.
The front...well it needs a good cleaning!
 
Well got a ton of stuff for the jeep. New headlights and tail lights should be in tomorrow. Then I can have it all put on. Unfortunately this put a hold on my knife and sheath spree for 2-3 weeks. I will email David on Monday at the latest to get my carbin fiber Forsaken Kensei sheath.
Got a few sheaths I need to order. Also gotta get a Rat Trail!
