New Jeeper in Hawaii

Hello all! I'm a new Jeeper currently in Hawaii. I'm an Army dude, so my time here is limited and it'll be back to the mainland. I'm originally from NC, but call Texas home after being there for seven years and since our kids are still there carrying on their respective lives. I bought my Rescue Green 07JK (not U) a little over a year ago and it quickly became an obsession. I soon after bought some Rubi take-off shocks, springs and tires and plopped them on there. Found out how much fun it was, so I added a 2 1/2" spring spacer to the front and a 3/4" to the rear as well as a Smittybuilt XRC front bumper and XRC-8 winch (I firmly believe you secure your way to get out of trouble before you add stuff to help you get into trouble). I rode like that for about 8 months and finally bought some ProComp XMT "baby" 35s (315/70-17) and mounted them on the painted stockers. I had to mount the wheel spacers to make room for the extra meat. The Jeep came with Rubi rock rails, so I was good with that. I added a Pure Jeep engine/tranny skid plate and evap relocation skid. I also cut the stock fenders and replaced the side marker with a .75" LED and recently added some cheap-option grill mesh. Bestop tube doors and a bikini top make me took "cool." haha I have the RK Max Travel 2.5" with Bilstein 5160s in route and will buy the matching Smittybuilt XRC rear bumper and tire carrier soon. After that, I'm done. For now. haha

Everyone, meet Li'l Green.

Welcome to Wayalife, and I don't mean to scare you away but none of us are ever really "done." Hahaha it IS an addiction.
 
Yeah, I figured as much (regarding never being done). The very first modification I did to my Jeep was that Rubi take-off stuff. One of my buddies helped me and introduced Jeep as that acronym we are all familiar with: Just Empty Every Pocket. haha

Aldaman, where you at in Hawaii?
 
HOWZIT Kevin P, welcome to Wayalife. That Jeep and location seem strangely familiar to me :brows: You're going to love the RK and new shocks. See ya on da flats.... Shafter flats :bleh:
