Well here goes nothin!!

How's it goin everybody. Been a Jeep fan for a while now. Can't get enough of them(you'll see why). When I was in high school my parents bought me a 05 Jeep Liberty 4X4 Limited, it was a great starter Jeep. Never did anything crazy to it, just a 2" lift, bigger tires, lights on the roof, and a sound system. Loved it to death! Had that for about 4 1/2 years and decided to part with it.

Pictures of the Liberty (can't find any pictures of it when it was stock)



A couple years after I sold the liberty, I decided to get back into Jeeps again, real jeeps! In August 2010 I bought my first wrangler. It was a 2001 TJ Sport. Only had a 2" spacer lift and 15X10 rims. Of course that didn't sit well with me, so I had to mess with it!

Back when I bought it Aug 2010

After


Then I had the opportunity to upgrade to a Lj. So why not, sold the TJ and bought the LJ! The TJ was purchased from a guy in New York, so he had a truck pick it up.

Bye bye TJ




I also bought the LJ from out of state, Oklahoma. And had it shipped down as well. It already had a 6" Rough Country lift, 35" Pitbull Rockers, SYE, a old currie winch bumper, a old warn winch, and a bumper/tire carrier.



And of course it wast gonna stop there. I put 4.56 gears, lockers, diff covers, new bumper, new winch, the list goes on.



Then........ I decided to get a Jku. So I sold the LJ and bought a 08 Jku Rubicon.

Before



After



I loved the JKU like crazy! Couldn't of been happier! But unfortunately I had to let it go, it wasn't what I wanted to do, but I had to... My job wasn't working out too good, ended up doing what I had to do, which meant sell it, and pay everything off. I paid off my wife's car, bills, and paid my truck off. So I'm officially debt free except for my mortgage of course. But I wasn't happy.... Not owning a Jeep sucked. So I ended up finding an 04 LJ with a hardtop, bone stock, rear view mirror dimmer, and stock premium sound. A older guy owned it and took good care of it. Only has 44,000 miles on it. He wanted to buy a travel trailer but he needed a truck first. So, guess what I did, I traded him my 04 F250 for his Jeep straight across! So bam! I'm back in business! Got me a 04 Lj and I can't wait to get started on it!

All that being said, I hope you guys enjoy this build (might see some similarities from the old LJ), hopefully it'll be my last! Oh and I broke away from the red! Figured I try silver for a change.

Here's a couple pictures of it

 

First mod I did the day after was install a new Pioneer stereo! Has Bluetooth and iPod connection.




Mounted the Mic for the Bluetooth on the Dash



And I changed the headlight bezels from chrome to black. Big whoop!





Well that's it so far. I ordered 35X12.5R15 Pitbull Rockers, and Poison Spyder Diff Covers. Next week, I'm ordering a 6" lift, SYE, driveshafts, 4.88 gears, and lockers. So I'll keep ya posted as everything comes in!

 

Oh, by the way, I took off the Warn Powerplant Winch before I sold the jk. Been sittin in my garage in a safe place! So it'll be on the LJ soon!

 

Well, some of the things I ordered came in today! Gonna pile everything up until i hve everything in. The Pitbull Rockers came in, Poison Spyder Bombshell Diff Covers, and a Rancho Steering Stabilizer. Just ordered the 6 Inch Rough Country Long Arm Lift, along with the slip yoke eliminator, rear driveshaft, 4.88 gears, and rear Auburn Electric Locker. Those should be coming in throughout this week and next week! I'll keep you all posted!

 

interesting! cant wait to see what happens!

 

Will a Grenade sticker be on the passenger side of the hood on this one? Lol. I just noticed a pattern and had to ask! You, sir, are a true Jeep Enthusiast! Love your builds!

 

Thanks! Me too!

Lol, you know there will be a grenade sticker on this one! Both sides! It's my signature :-) Thanks! Can't get enough of them!

 

Looks like you're off on another great start! I've been scheming lately on doing an LJ build.

Is that prowler in your garage??

 

Thanks!!! I missed my last LJ a lot, so I figured I do another one. Out of all the Jeeps I've had, the LJ is what I liked the most.

Yeah that's my 2002 Chrysler Prowler. That's my second favorite vehicle. Of course the Jeep is my number one G-Ride.

 

LOL didn't even see that in your sig line!
