In the beginning ......
 

There was a Jeep. It was like any other Jeep. But it had aspirations, dreams and a big imagination. Thus it began it's transformation ..........

I am now saving cash to get started with Phase 2: Bumpers & Spare Tire carrier.

Looks good and the list will never stop.

Bought some used bumpers and a skid to protect my electronic sway disconnect motor.

An ARB dual compressor and mounting bracket were gifted to me by my parents.

I also got a good deal on a RuggedRidge spare tire carrier, and moved the license plate to the center of the spare tire.

Waiting to see what the future may allow me to do. So many options, so little funds and time.

"Old Ironsides" was the first unit I went to war with. 1-36 Infantry Freidberg, Germany 2000-2003.

Cool. I didn't make it over with my unit. I was in from 1987-1992. I was 13F1O assigned to HHB 1/22 FA which was redesignated to HHB 2/1 FA. We were stationed at Pinder Barracks in Zirndorf, just outside of Nurnburg, Germany. I was then sent to Ft. Carson, CO. to finish my ToD with HHB 3/29 FA.

If I could do it all again, I would. I would also have been more persistent with pushing for E-5. That was the main reason I decided to ETS. Everything happens for a reason though.

I would like to thank you for your service as well. So, thank you.

Can't wait to see the progress.

On a more personal note, I worked with 2nd Brigade 1st Armored Division as an IT contractor a couple years back. Great group of guys out there at Bliss.

Nice looking Jeep! I was looking at those wheels--really like them. Ended up with something different but they look great on your rig!

They even look good dirty. 8)
