Hey everyone! I'm Tony. I just moved back home from Whidbey Island, WA and it's been quite a year with my Jeep(s)! Here's some of the story.

I bought a TJ in 2012 in Jacksonville, FL

A couple months later I had it lifted at Happy Trails 4x4

A couple hours later

I drove cross country to Washington state and swore I'd never drive a jeep across the country again

After a few months in washington I ended up trading it in for a WRX

But I always knew I'd be back.

Lauren is a 2012 I got in May with only 26k miles. 6 speed, power locks and power windows. AND THE HARDTOP! (My favorite factory option)

After spending 2000 on my TJ's lift (a lot of labor costs) I spent 1700 bucks on a 2.5" Teraflex (I know, I know...) with Fox performance 2.0 shocks, front sway bars disconnects, Rock Krawler front and rear adjustable Tracbars, RE control arm relocation kit, and a set of 285/75r17 Nitto Terra Grapplers that could hopefully get me through the year. With some pizzas we installed this one in my driveway never having lifted a vehicle before.

(Fast forward 6000 miles)

This picture was taken right before I put my JK decals on.

And then...

I was basically pitted by a guy pulling an illegal u-turn. It took two full months of fighting with the insurance to get it back. Now she looks like this!

I got 35x12.5r17 ko2's with AEV wheels off Craigslist and I'm in love.

Can't wait to share stories on the forum with everyone. Hopefully I'll see some of you around.
