Some of you know (have seen) I've still got my Gen 1 black General Lee from 1997, still with original paint/decals. Well, thanks to a friend (cheers Si) I managed to pick up another with it's original orange paint and decals - 38th General Lee made n'all
I don't often pop up pics of my builds and as a rule they're all survivors, so bare with me - also excuse the rushed and shite pics as the missus had fooked off with the digi SLR so was limited to a phone camera.....and excuse the bike stands that I bought off Sen at MK as being a twat I realised I didn't have any (thanks again Sen).
My old black one I put back to how I first built it when I got it, took off the street/park bits and bobs I added in '98 (Profile SS cranks, Peregrine Phat Jacks, Pr1mo The Wall black walls and black '98 S&M Slam Bars) and popped it back to a lighter trails bike - although if I'm honest it should have red spray-bombed DX's and matching red Odi's on there (as was all the rage back then). The orange one I built up as well with ze trails in mind.
