Thanks! I use a Canon Rebel T1i. The lens I used with these shots is the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L.

Once i find some good places to get off the road, the shots should be more interesting.

Lake Stanley Draper for picture taking (not for off-roading unless you want the OKPD after you). It's only ten minutes from my home, so that's where I go for all of my "driveway" shots ...





















If you do go there, give me a call and I'll join you (I'm in the phone book).

how far away from the edmond area is that? That looks like a good place for plenty of great shots. I just have Lake Arcadia and Lake Hefner near by, and Arcadia charges you to get in, and Hefner is all concrete around it unless i want to park on the golf course. If its not a bad drive and i get some free time from school, i wouldnt mind giving you a call at all and doing a photoshoot! I like how you did the progression pictures in order!

...also, how do you like the license plate relocation? what company is it? was it hard to hook up? I have been thinking about adding that to the christmas list, but wasnt sure. I have differential covers, and evap skid on it right now.

oh, forgot to mention, i went to Jeep yesterday for my 1st free oil change deal....and they fixed a recall. I dont know if its just for the 2010 Wranglers or what, but it was a update/reflash for the ECU. Apparently the o2 sensors would read cold, so the reflash was to fix them so they warmed up faster. I dont know if its beneficial to non 2010's, they didnt clarify when i asked, just thought i should pass that along. Also, they didnt have any clue about the hard brake line recall...soooo...yeah...still waiting on that to come through i guess.

Over 2 1/2 weeks without my Jeep since the wreck!! I'm past the withdrawal symptoms and now onto the LONGING to be back with her!!!!

I even have to limit my time on the forum here, b/c I start thinking about her and then get all sad and depressed that I'm driving a Dodge Avenger!!

Body work should have all wrapped up today, so tomorrow they'll get her off to the suspension shop to do some checking out there, but being Friday I'm sure they won't touch anything, just look.

So, at best I would think end of next week before I have her back.

I might have to sleep in her the 1st night to make up for lost time.

The license plate relocation came with the bumper--Shrockworks.

Stanley Draper Lake is south of Tinker AFB. It's right off Douglas Blvd. and I-240, so easy to get to.

The Shrockworks rear bumper comes with the ORO wiring/lighting kit, which may be the one you're looking at. It's a pretty straight-forward wiring job. Ran the wires to the passenger side tail lamp assembly and connected everything up there. The kit did not come with specific instructions, but between what's here on the forum, and what I could figure out by looking at which wire went to which bulb which lit up when I took whatever action, I was able to easily figure it out.

good to hear, maybe the suspension won't take long to get done and you two will be reunited
