IMG_0519 - Copy.jpgThis is my sons jeep we pick it up last year in april. will try to bring this up to date as time allows . we started with a low mile 2007 jku with nothing but the factory tow package that had 4.10 gears and someone had put 18 inch wheel and hard top on it . first day home. what plans did we have we had no ideals . boy did that S**t change lol.
 
Okay the jeep been home for a week now and old jeep dad starts looking at craigslist. MISTAKE one cheap bast*** on cragslist lol.
Just to let everyone know my spelling and gramer is not great well not even good . but i can turn a wrench.and dont worry Lone Ranger will tell me how stupid some of the stuff i put up is . I embrass him some times Its so bad so sorry to the spell and gramer checkers out thier if you dont like move on . but they will be some ifo that others can use. The craiglist search found a bumper though he would like so off i go . was a trail force by barricade 175 after putting road armor on my truck i though was great deal.
