Talking Update on My Build

Ok I have word my lift will be installed between the 3-6 of January the tires will all be fitted with the new TPMS and hugging a nice set of Mamba M4 wheels. I got a call on my cell from Adam at Clayton that the wrong uppers were sent out and it was fixed imidiatley I want to give Props to Him and Dave at Northridge for being on top of there Game. I should have pics sent to me soon of the Lift and tires and wheels and then with everything on the Black Beauty. Trust me I am as anxious to see her under go her procedures of becomming unique to me. I know I have other items that will be added to her like a front and rear bumper and Cargo rack some lights and misc. parts as well but as my sister said she doesn't have enough room in the Garage for all the parts. I kinda laughed when she threatend me she was gonna have a parts sell I was like yeah sure because I know you want the Jeep with all that stuff on it so you can drive it around while im in the perfect area minus the IED's and Mortars and other UXO's to go wheeling. Trust me the terrain is awesome o ver here just wish it was safer outside the wire. Well anyways as soon as I get Pics I will be updating from time to time.

I don't have a pic, but I'm in the same boat. I have a whole back room filled with crap. lol. All the heavy stuff from LoD is being sent to my moms house, so my brother can put it up. Until I get home.

When you leaving the sandbox? I'm in Afghanistan and was supposed to fly out yesterday, but it looks like I will be here for at least another week.

Keep your head down and watch your six!

Those are purty, I just got back over here not to long ago however I am a contractor over here. It will be a few years before I am finished over here but will have vacation in March to try out the new suspension on a few trails around Nc area. Love the wheels I kinda like the Crushers because I am told I have a skulll and flame fetish or something like that by my Sis so Oh well I like them anyways, I was talking to a guy in URE last time I was there and he was running a set said he liked them the way they handeled and they did have some street noise which is something I was also looking for in a tire, Yes I am different.... however strange I may be we all have our own way of getting things done. I thank all of you guys in the States for keeping the Moral over here up by your support. and I thank the Soldiers for there Hard work that is being done over here as well. I get to see both worlds from a neutral perspective and yes It meems alot to these guys over here showing your support. I would also like to wish everyone a [B]MERRY CHRISTMASAND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well between my Chopper tool box and other stuff I have in the garage it is or was already crowded in it. I know she doesn't mind because she will be one of the first people to drive the jeep when its done, She is just as anxious as me however she will get to enjoy it first. Thats cool cause I will get to break it Errrr I mean break it in yeah yeah lol... near Fayetteville there are some large areas of sand so I get to try the tires out and see how the lift is gonna handle. The bad thing is I still need to order stuff for the bike... LOL... which is cool cause she gets to ride that as well, but only on the back. Incase you are all wondering she is not really my sister but a very good friend that is like my sister it is a very long drawn out story........

I still need to get the front and rear bumper rear with tire carrier, the Cargo rack, winch, lights, neoprene seat covers, rear quarter panel armor, (mainly to cover my booboo from backing into a tree cause my buddy couldn't make it up a hill, no door no mirrors and sail panel from soft top hiding the tree. crunch crakle.) yeah pretty pics. and some other doodads for the JK..
