Ok, ok, I give,
I think this is the post you referred to:
Actually, I got that nickname from the off road club I was in back in AZ. I had a 64 Willy's CJ, mostly stock, mild lift, lockers, 5.38 gears, winch that was only used to pull out others it seemed. I was usually the last one in line on the trail runs. The "kids" with their gee-whizz-bang-rigs going all "airborne commando" would fly up and down the trails, make fun of my old rig on their way flying by, and be sitting there somewhere up the trail, broken, and waiting for help to patch it back together when I'm come rolling up to help them.
Or if it wasn't much of a trail, I would be in my '74 3/4 ton Dodge, stock suspension, sure grips, 4.10's, 440/auto. Same story though, all the "kids" would whizz around, up and down the trails and have to sit there once they broke down, and wait for me to come up and help them (recovery, tools, compressor, welder, etc) to patch them back enough they could limp to the trail head and we could trailer it home.
I was usually the last one up the trail. I almost never picked up more than one tire at a time, and I always made it without breaking anything. And I always stopped and helped the broken ones piece their rigs together enough to get back to pavement. I would mostly go "slow" due to solid axle and leaf sprung suspensions and the desire to not whizz blood when we were done or break spring perches or shocks off. Launching a 7000 lb big block Dodge airborne was not my idea of a smart move.
Unless we were going somewhere close, I usually flat towed the Willy's behind my Dodge (had lock out hubs front and rear so I could flat tow it at highway speeds with the 5.38 gears), so I had plenty of recovery gear on hand, worst case it was back at the trail head where I would leave the truck.
As far as pics go, I was still in my "slide film" days, so I've digitized very few of them since then. But here's a couple from when I rebuilt the 440 in my truck:
