Okay guys. I've been off the forums for a while. Back at the end of the year some family issues happened and I had to sale my beloved 2013 JKU. After spending a lot of money and time on her she had to go. May have been one of the toughest days of my life. But I digress....on to the present...

So I finally got to get Billy out to Uwharrie for some much needed off road time. It's been a couple years since I've been off road so to say I was excited was an understatement. It also completely reinvigorated my love for the jeep lifestyle. I must say though actually getting off road makes me...

The next headache would prove to be tires. Now I actually had been researching and deciding tires for just as long as I had been researching the lift. I finally got them ordered and put on Aug 22. I went with the Nitto Trail Grapplers in 35x12.5x17. One thing you'll also notice in the pictures...

Well I have been spending the money and time for a couple of months now and the more I do the more it's starting to feel like a "build" so I figured I'd start my own thread. For those of you who decide to take the time to follow and or post on this, thank you, but don't get too excited the is...

Lift, tires, and cheap fix tire carrier all within the last week. Bestop Highrock Tire Carrier...I'll be honest it feels pretty sturdy for the price. It's just a temporary fix until it's time for front and rear bumpers. I needed something so my new Trail Grappler would fit. We will see this...

So as the title states my wife has been talking about it for a while and I have been somewhat avoiding it but I have finally found an upside to this. My wife wants a jeep, great, but this could be beneficial to me. Here's what I got, wanna see if this would even work: So I have a 2013 unlimited...

You said trail, so this is a trail, just no jeep involved. All man power. This was my dad feeding beef jerky to wild ponies, this was about 10 years ago, I was taking the picture so I'm not in it. But this is in the Grayson Highlands National Park in Va. Far as a I know the wild ponies are still...

Found a used ARB Front Bumper on Craigslist fairly local for $540. I'm trying to get better pictures on it now. Was mounted on a 07 JKU. Only picture is of the jeep quarter profile view so I can see the bumper but not completely. Looks good from what I can see. If it's clean is this a good price...

Found this sticker, thought I may as well add it. Also took advantage of the Northridge Truck Lite promo. Could not be happier with these lights. Best money I've ever spent on a jeep. Oh and the black jeep logo. Hoping to have the lift here this week and installed this weekend.

Pew Pew Pew...and anything of the like Training.. Getting my wife some trigger time... And anything I get to do with these little guys... I love to camp but haven't done much lately. Plan on changing that this year.

Let the haters hate, I like rocking my crocs cause I get a little protection in case something catches the bottom of my foot but the holes keep the air flowing.

Okay. So this isn't a "What gears should I get?" or "Should I regear?" post. Anybody who's spent a little time around jeeps knows the benefits of regearing. And everyone knows it's a preference issue usually, unless you go big right out of the gate. I just want an overall sampling of what most...

Well, I did a little looking around and couldn't find anything similar. Thought this would be a pretty cool idea, if something similar has already been posted Mods, sorry, just delete as necessary. I know I have personally owned "about" 4 Jeeps to date. I always find it interesting to see what...

Early morning pic from my "office" right at the end of night shift. Near Reidsville, NC

Out for a morning jaunt to the gym...looks like the weatherman got it wrong again!
