Good Morning Folks,

Here is a Saturday morning wave from Kirkwood. I have been a part of the extended Jeep family for quite a while.

I have been a FSJ owner in the past and used to be on the old Full Size Jeep forum. I've had a 74 Cherokee, an 80 Cherokee Chief W/T, a 79 Wagoneer, and an 01 Cherokee. This all started back in 1993. I finally entered into the wrangler world a few years ago when I decided I wanted to smile when I drove and traded our 2004 2500 suburban in for a 2015 JKU Rubicon.

Needless to say I have been smiling everyday since my purchase back on December 31 2016 when found and bought my JKU. Since then, 2 of my 3 brothers have bought Jeeps, and the 3rd is waiting to give his wife his Outback then he plans on buying one. Four brothers--Four Jeeps. Pretty rad.

My goal is to turn Sherman (Rubicon is tank green) into an overlanding vehicle. I try and get to North Georgia-Western North Carolina once a month to bounce around. Not looking for a crawler, but more self sustaining. Last year we organized a 4 States-4 Days overlanding trip and hitting South Carolina-North Carolina-Tennessee then coming back to Georgia.

My friends and I are more of the DIY variety, so we are constantly looking for ways to custom build items rather than straight up purchasing. For example, I have built a table and a drop table for the tailgate. Once I figure out which roof rack to purchase, I plan on making my own roadshower and awning. As another example, I found a thread (could have been here-don't remember) where they turned a JKU stock bumper into 4-5 gallons of water storage utilizing parts from RV's and campers. I dig that shit.

While this is my first post, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading other threads here on the board. Members provide great information as well as truth and sarcasm. I honestly don't mean to be more of a lurker, but if 4 people have, in my opinion, provided sound advice or insight on a question, then I typically do not weigh in. I am always happy to share my misfortune such that others may learn or call me names for being a dumbass.

Sherman has some issues, some of which I don't understand, but I'll figure them out and keep on lovin the life.

Thanks again, and here are some photos of Sherman in various poses.

Thanks folks!

The table was fun to make. Not strong enough to actually use for food prep, but it will certainly hold a speaker and a beer while camping.
