All buttoned up Here it is in its final glory. The work was tedious to say the least, but I did it. I got all the coats of paint on there and blended it smoothly. It was actually a lot more time consuming than I expected, and cost me an entire Saturday. Overall, there a few spots, that if...

I installed the 2" kit on my 2DR Rubicon a few weeks ago, with the 9000s, and the ride absolutely amazing. I do have the shocks set to 1, the on road ride is amazing. It's so soft that I forget it's a Wrangler sometimes. :) I did manage to get the kit off road since installing it and it...

So here's an update on everything so far. I caved and paid to get the dent pulled and filed, but I got a steal $150. Is it great work? Not so much. Did it turn out better than I could have done? Definitely. :) Here's a pic of it primed and awaiting color match paint and clear to come in...

So I went to Rausch Creek last weekend and had a blast. The talks were amazing and since it was the first time I had wheeled the JKR, I was really impressed. The JK has some significant improvements over the TJ and almost felt as nimble. Despite having to do one trailside repair, the steering...

Here I am looking at all these lunch ideas, and I can only think of one thing that I bring is this. These things are great, easy to pack in and out, self heating, and provide a full days nutrition. Not to shabby. Do they taste good? Well, that's not really important, the important thing...

As much as I wish I could do bolt-on coilovers, 37s, and custom bumpers, rock sliders, and all that jazz, I know it's not going to happen. Don't get me wrong, I love my Jeep, and I love to wheel, but all things considered, there is only so much money I am willing to spend to wheel. So I...

Because I will be just getting back from Afghanistan, and would love to have my first upgrade to my JKR to some sweet new headlites! :beer:

Someone's a high voltage lineman! No thanks. I'll stick to my medium voltage generation.

My view, not to shabby For just a few more weeks this is my view.

Since most of you guys are familiar with the mod for the stock bumper, maybe you can answer a question for me then. Why not mount the bumper right side up, between the frame rails? I know that the winch will fit, because it fits upside down, so why not right side up? I understand that you...

All right WAL, I'm leaning on you again. I am about to have my wife go pick up my 07 JKR for me this weekend. I'd do it myself, but I'm pretty sure I can't make if from Afghanistan to New Jersey and back before my command figures out that I'm gone. :grayno: She's a little nervous and doesn't...

I'm starting my work on my 2D JKR build and want to poll the "professionals" for some solid advice. BB or Springs? I know you're going to ask the same questions that you ask every new poster, so here they are in advance. I plan to run 35" and am looking in the 2" lift range. I want to...

Hey all you Jeep enthusiasts out there. Giving you a preemptive wave from Afghanistan. I just picked up an 07 JK 2DR Rubicon from a dealer in New Jersey. It'll be all mine when I get home from this deployment. This isn't my first Jeep, or my first Rubi either. My last Rubi was an 04 TJ...
