This cowboy preferred to rope a cow with a saddle mounted on a CJ-3B. I don’t know a whole lot about rodeo history, but according to the Lodi newspaper competitive jeep-roping occurred at least between 1952-1998. Below is an April 21, 1982, photo published in the Lodi News Sentinenl, the best photo evidence I could find of jeep-roping.

    So Dave , I am thinking you are on the jeep roping and your sister is riding around the jeep on her horse! 🙂

    LMAO … well that wouldn’t work because my sister is a ‘Reiner’ rather than a ‘Roper’.
