The Adventures of Fiona - '08 JK Rubicon 2-Door

[TrailHunter]

Just spent some time updating the first post to reflect Fiona's build. Damn, it's taken 2.5 years, but the planned upgrades list is almost empty.

The bad news is that the items left cost more than I paid for her!

The good news is, other than maintenance and (God forbid) repairs, I'm pretty much done spending money on getting her where I envisioned. Now, I'm not saying the build is done (it never is, right?) but this is the first Black Friday in two years that I'm not planning on spending any money on.

That said, I'm really happy with everything I've done to her and all the mods have really turned her into a beast that I am having a lot of fun with on the trails and on the road. Thanks to all of you here that have supported my addiction... Without y'all Fiona wouldn't be what she is today!

That's pretty Cool James.... we joined WAL about the same time and it's been fun watching you build her up.... and following her on the Trail. She's become quite the Beast. :beer:

Thanks! Hopefully I won't be "forced" into the last ones on the list any time soon. Still have some little things that aren't on the list, but nothing major.

For sure. I need to fix the passenger front bump stop again. It's looking good so far for the 8th.

Looking good James.

Great new avatar pic. I didn't notice at first until someone else mentioned it.

By the 8th, I will be in drastic need for my therapy session.

My new project is kicking my ass.

Thanks. It's her "hero" shot.

I know what you mean... Did you get that big job you were telling me about on the Rubicon?

Dang, that's a lot of work you've put in. I'm taking pointers for when I start uprading my suspension - hopefully early next year.

Funny how it didn't seem like a lot of work until I wrote it down.

I did, and it has me wearing myself out, since I don't have enough help to go around.

Hopefully in a week or so I can quit working day and night and just do one or the other.

Hey, teach me how to drive a loader and I'll work for you a few months.

Rebuilt my passenger front bump stop today... Hopefully this time it won't pop off again.

Also received the parts to rework my rear lighting setup. Hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow to get that wrapped up.

By “rebuilt” do you mean you glued on a new hockey puck?

Lol. No, new hockey pucks with a thicker bolt, larger fender washer, and a lock nut.
