to where it all began.
This photo was taken in front of 18 Malley Road in Scarborough, where Jim apprenticed under the late Hans Starke at Ontario RV. The building is still there, but the shop closed many years ago.
This week, long-time customer Jim Stack sent Jim a note that brought back some great memories. Jim first met him at Ontario RV decades ago, back when they were working on AMC Jeeps, CJs, and the vehicles that helped build the passion and experience that Rock Spyder 4x4 was founded on years later.
Pictured here is Jim Stack's 1976 CJ-5, one of many classic AMC Jeeps that passed through Ontario RV over the years.
It's amazing to think about how many Jeeps, trucks, projects, and customers have crossed paths with Jim over the years. Some customers have been with him since the very beginning, and we're grateful for every one of them.
Thank you for sharing the photo and the memories.
Where did you first meet Jim?
Ontario RV? Another shop? An off-road event? Or here at Rock Spyder 4x4?
Let us know in the comments. We'd love to hear your stories and see how far back some of these friendships go.
