Default J.E.E.P. has began.. stage 1

Well, i've had my jeep for about 3 weeks now and the transformation has began.

Started out life like this.


Here's stage 1:
17" rubicon moab/ 32" BFG's





Stage 1.5 will start next wednesday when my 1" leveling kit arives from teraflex. Also, gonna throw on some factory front tow hooks and rear D-ring reciever.

Then I head to Coal creek/ Windrock on the 27th-28th for my first round of testing!

Thanks, I was truely happy when my dad commented on it. He's always been a no comment kinda person. just looks and turns away. Strong silent type. So anytime i get an actually response from him. It's either really good or really bad.. lol.. He was very impressed and said he loved the way it looked now. So therefore I'm happy.

we've got a group of guys plannin a trip for december 27th-28th. You're more the welcome to come. If you're interested. Just check on the South area forum and it's stickied at the top.

yeah, If I can keep the numbers under the 5 digit range. I shouldn't get in to much trouble over time.. lol.. considerin I had a honda civic with about 26-28k in parts.. I've taken almost 2 years off from moddin stuff, that one kinda burnt me.. lol..

The round step bars came on mine. they'll be for sale soon. I want some or-fab or shrock rock sliders.


Thanks for all the reply everyone.. Might go do a little testin tomorrow. we've had quite a bit of precip. around here lately.
