My plan is to eventually install EVO Rockskins and Rock Sliders, but since that will cost around a grand with welding I decided I needed something in the meantime even for offroading stock. Craig's List to the rescue! I picked up a set of Rubi Rails for $100 and since I'd seen them in action I...

The next part of the story is where everything changes. Plans aren't set in stone, they're meant to change, right? Thanks to Wayalife I came across an Upcoming Trip thread for a SoCal trip on May 7th (https://wayalife.com/showthread.php?45541-So-Cal-area-wheeling-May-7th). As I read through the...

Now it was time to address the stereo situation. I haven't taken the hard top off yet so I had no problem hearing the radio, but the lack of mid's and bass was pitiful. As usual I researched the crap out every option and without spending $2K+ on a new head unit and amp the options are limited. I...

Since squeaks are the devil there's one in the rear end I needed to take care of. I put it off for too long so I finally got under there and had my wife bounce on the running boards. I narrowed it down to the sway bar bushings. I shot them both with WD-40 and it went away. Cool. Not so fast! A...

Next up was a tailgate table. I really liked the idea of this, especially the dual purpose with the molle panel. After researching all of them I decided on one made by a guy and sold only on eBay. The price was right, the construction looked solid, and you can choose the text you want cut out...

As I'm sure every new Jeep owner does I started buying a bunch of small stuff to make my mark on it. Grab handles, floor mats, cargo mat, sill guards, grill inserts, and after finding out about airing down I picked up a Currie EZ-Deflator and a Superflow compressor. I also started looking for...

The next day I had to try this thing out so I grabbed my wife and daughter and we headed up to Hungry Vally OHV Park in Gorman, CA. Nothing crazy but at least I got a little taste of some off roading and mild hill climbs. Even stock I was impressed how capable it was.

The first thing that had to go was the Goodyear street tires. They weren't going to get me anywhere off road. I watched Craig's List for a set of BFG Rubi take-offs and a set came up with 5k miles and a new spare for a ridiculously low price. As soon as I locked in that sale I immediately...

I had been wanting a Jeep for quite a while but a move from PA to CA and other life events put it on hold. This year I decided it was time! Of course I had a budget and couldn't afford a Rubicon so I settled on a Sport, ideally with the S package, and it had to have the max tow package with...

Headed to Red Rock Canyon State Park in the Mojave Desert to check out Last Chance Canyon. It was also the last trip in the stock Jeep. [emoji16] Burro Schmidt Tunnel Some cool scenery Dutch Cleanser Mine Graduation Hill - now I'm ready for a lift! My little helper. Gotta teach 'em...

I did Graduation Hill at Last Chance Canyon stock yesterday so I'm officially Ready for the lift. [emoji106] can't wait for my first "real" run with you guys! Look what found their way into the back of me Jeep.

Look at these sexy boxes!

I've decided I want to go with a gate mounted carrier mainly so I'm not locked into certain bumpers. The Jeep is my DD so I want single-handed operation as well. The only real downside I've heard with them is if you catch the spare coming off a ledge you can damage the tailgate. To help avoid...

I just started working on my build and I'm planning to go to 37's but I need a new front axle first. In the meantime I'm installing a 4" EVO Enforcer lift in the next few weeks so I'm looking for a cheap set of 35's to run for a while. I'm not looking for a specific brand so let me know what...
