I know there are a good amount of you on the WJ forum posting, so just thought I'd get us all together for some wheeling, meet & greets, photoshoots, etc.
I'm in LA (Hawthorne)
I got it a month ago put a 4" lift and 32" km2's, not quite ready to go wheeling. I need to relocate the wiper fluid resivoir, a little more trimming and change out the t-case and diff fluids. After the holidays I'm defiantly down for some wheeling!
Good to see other WJ's in SoCal, especially with mods. Don't forget to join the SoCal WJ facebook group as well (assuming you use facebook), which is growing and quite active. Lots of discussion of trails, future events, maintenance & repairs, and of course various mods and upgrades. Don't worry if you're not on Facebook, i'll be sure to cross post anything interesting here.
Here is my old 1999 Laredo, also on a 6in long arm lift with 33's. This was from Big Bear a couple years ago.
I kinda regret going with a 4" lift, I want to go a bit higher now. I though about adding spacers but I don't want compromise the ride quality any more, o well. I'm looking for some rock slidders, do you guys know of a place around here that fabricates slidders?
I've got spacers on the front of mine and I don't think it changes the ride quality, but thats my 2 cents. As far as Fab work, I haven't had any done myself to personally recommend but I believe a few guys on Orange county roll call does Fab work.
I would ask on these two threads and you'll probably get some help:

I like that look of your jeep! mine is nothing special! only a two inch lift, clear coat peeling off, a small dent in the rear, and a few issues still remaining after five years of chasing a ghost and a few grand...
But I am finding some renewed like for my jeep. in fact, I just reinsured it a week ago, but haven't paid the tags on it in about five years... we should have snow Tuesday night so having my jeep running is a nice thing!
i know it's last minute, but if anyone is interested in doing a snow run in Big Bear tomorrow morning, Thursday Jan 1st. Meeting time would be at 8:30am in the Yucaipa area. PM me and i'll give you more info and details.
is anyone due for a transfer case fluid change?
i have extra mobil 424 fluid, used in nv-247 t-cases in models equiped with quadra-drive.
pm me if your interested.
hey SoCal WJ's, we're having a meet up at TDS, on Saturday, March 7th. Then later in the day, we'll probably mess around Telephone Booth Hill among other places. Should be a decent turn out of WJ's, and would always be nice to have more and meet some new friends and faces.
Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you the info, otherwise feel free to join our Facebook group with all the details.
I posted in the other WJ thread, but thought I'd post here too. My rock sliders just shipped today, so I should have them installed by the 7th for TDS. Doing my best to make it.
I'm in Glendale with my "soccer mom champagne" Laredo.
Well my car is rather event less, pretty much stock except for the 275X45X20's which don't really handle as well as the stock wheels. Anyway, it's around 180k and the only problems I've had are batteries, radiator, a few modules and a PCM. My 2nd Grand Cherokee.
Has anyone done the Dusy Ershim Trail in a WJ before?
I'm planing to run it some time in August, i want to get some advise from some one that has taken a Wj, i know its a long tough trail and tight in places. but iv seen videos of full size trucks and land cruisers doing it.
im still building my rig, currently i have a 4" lift with 32" im hoping the Quadradrive will get me through, so no lockers. im planning to get some armor (rock sliders, diff guards, transfer case skid)and do a gas tank lift by then.
any advise is appreciated,

don't know anyone who has done it in a WJ, but my mechanic did it in his XJ with 33's and lockers, but this was a while ago. not sure if the trail has changed since then, as in become more difficult and challenging due to erosion, etc
Hola. 2004 WJ in Santa Barbara. In process of lifting her. Totaled my YJ, picked this beauty up a month ago, sold the Harley, now the lift is in the mail
Slapped some 265/70R17's on her today.
nice WJ, congrats. i've always liked the two tone like yours looking like a Laredo, with the painted bottom gray trim that will never fade like plastic.
if you're free, you should meet up with a bunch of us in the a couple weeks for the big Tierra Del Sol event.
When are you heading out? The whole family was going, but now it looks like it'll just be me so I'm thinking about leaving a little earlier. Instead of setting up the tent, I might just travel light and sleep in the back of the Jeep :2thumbsup:
that's one reason why i don't have an LED light bar, i'd be worried about it getting stolen. MALL_RATED_WJ was telling me about some security screws that makes them impossible to remove from the brackets. i'm sure he'll chime in sooner or later.
