Story:
The story of this Jeep is very long but I still love it. Over 7 years ago I had a 97TJ Sahara. Budget Boost and 31st and just enjoyed off-roading. Unfortunately commuting in that to college was bad. Got into BMWs but 7+ years later I am back. The plan was to 'build' a Jeep but via a random forum post I was contacted, test drove and had to have this Jeep. I am currently working on swapping the interior for a Sahara interior. Going to be changing tires and doing a little more to make it mine. I purchased it and had to do some major work to get it back to street and trail worthy. Full fluid swaps. Drum brake rebuilts. Axle setup/gear/locker redone to spec. I took it out first time and I am addicted again! Going almost weekly on the weekends and spending the weekdays after work changing fluid from water/mud holes! Loving every minute of being back in the Jeep!

Story:
When i was little back in Michigan my dad had a Bronco and his cousin had a blazer. my mom had a 1981 CJ-7 4 banger that i never got to see and she traded it in for an 1989 Wrangler Laredo. i basically grew up in that Jeep and i remember vividly sitting on my dads lap while he was driving through Michigan's state park fire trails listening to Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and Marshall Tucker Band. when i was about 7 or 8 my mom sold the Jeep and got a Jetta and from that point i always wanted a Jeep. in 2003 my brother tried to order an Inca Gold Rubicon and the factory wouldn't build it because at the time the Rubicon was just a special edition. so once 2006 rolled around i knew i had to have one of the last wranglers and ordered a Jeep Green Rubicon - a couple days later i had change my mind on the color and ordered Silver because i had just saw the new Tomb Raider. it was built on March 21 2006 and delivered on the 23 2 days later. we went to go pick it up and then the madness started.

Story:
I am just returning to the jeep world after a 10+ year hiatus with 4wd atv's. After selling them I was on my way to purchasing another motorcycle since I had not had one since getting into atv’s and was really missing it. Right before pulling the trigger on a bike I had picked out I thought long and hard and realized that while I would love to be back on a bike I could not enjoy this experience with my 8 year old daughter. I wanted to share this with her, teaching her mechanical skills as well as a love and respect for the outdoors and seeing all the places only a 4wd can take you. I grew up as a kid wrenching on FJ40's and we had several of them in the family and still do. While I will always love the FJ40's I decided to try the Jeep brand for the first time this go round and am very happy I did. I have rented them several times on vacations and always loved driving them. So my search began.

I always loved the aftermarket following with the Jeep brand and the enormous amount of products available for them so I set out to find my ride. To me, the TJ model offered everything I was looking for in a trail rig, creature comforts and an extremely capable platform. After months of looking I finally worked a deal on my Lil' Mule. It seemed like a pretty solid build and culmination of products that would set me in the direction I wanted to head with little waste in things I would not have done. I always try to look at everything I do and determine if there is something I would do different or if I think there is a better way to engineer it. I have never been able to leave anything I have owned alone so the build began. All work, fabrication, welding, painting and design on this build is done by me or with help from a friend. I have always been the type that if I did not know how to do something, I learned.

My goal is to build a modest trail rig that will look good and is capable of handling some tough terrain yet still be able to drive around town enjoying the beautiful days we tend to get year round in the south or put it on the highway and go for a weekend drive. I have always wanted to wheel in Moab and hope to have the build far enough along to head out there this spring.

Thanks again for considering me.

Story:
Hrm, well... I've always wanted a Wrangler. My buddy Rod got a Cherokee, and then my buddy Jerry got his first TJ, and I caved. My wife and I, got our Jeep stock, and were out beating on it the first night. Within 5 hours, it was covered in mud so thick you couldn't barely see the beautiful Impact Orange color. I learned the evil of mud that first evening. Unfortunately, in Indiana it's impossible to not wheel in mud at some point throughout the day. I wheeled every chance I had up until the fall of 2008; first as the "Paper Plate Avenger" because I was wheeling before I ever had actual plates, and later as "The Pumpkinator". Once the wife started calling it that, it stuck. I was given orders and sent overseas for a few months shy of a year after that. My wife of 5 months stuck it out, and stood by me the whole time as I shipped parts to the house from all over the US and filled our garage. My goal was to build a Jeep I could run the piss out of on 35's.
I wanted it to be as bulletproof as possible, so I skipped things like bumpers and lights like most people do first, and went straight for the bigger, more important stuff (to me) since I knew I'd never have money like that to throw at the Jeep again. I spent months on spotty internet connections, and making international phone calls when I could, getting everything set up. I talked with a lot of vendors, and really got to know Mike Greene, owner of Pitbull Tires, and the guys at TNT Customs. They really took care of me, and still are. I can't tell you how many times I've been on the phone with them figuring stuff out. After I got home, my buddies (Hot_Rod_Hooligan, Imped4now, recoil101, rkates, and Gribbles) all helped me in some way building the Jeep. My goal was to get it done in the first month back, but I was a bit naive to think that would actually happen. I got back about 5 months ago now, and aside from my "poser" shots. I've yet to go and actually wheel the hell out of the Jeep the way I've wanted to (though playing in the rock garden for my pics about flopped me lol). Soon though, soon. Spyder6 and I have been going back and forth for a while now about my entry, and finally he talked me into entering with my poser shots. I just hope they are good enough. lol I've still got some work to do, and some kinks to work out, so even if I don't make it this month, I'll be back eventually. Hope you all enjoy the pics. I had to scuff my brand new paint (which was hard enough, and then bent my brand new tie rod) to get them! Why else would you have a Jeep though? lol All the times I went wheeling before I deployed, I was lucky and never once got any trail damage aside from blowing a few beads. Just posting poser pics I managed to get more damage than I ever did before. Hopefully this isn't a sign. Without further ado, here's my beastie... The Pumpkinator.

Story:
My dad was into off roading when he was a kid. He had a Jeep and a Bronco. He sold those and got into muscle cars. When he had to sell those, it was a while before he got back into 4 wheeling. We found an '03 Silver Rubicon with a 4" short arm lift, and we got that, but 8 months later, it was stolen. Needless to say, that sucked. However, less then 2 weeks later, we found a white '06 Rubicon for sale at a BMW dealership, of all places. Well, we bought it, and this is how it sits today. Weve taken it to Calico, Bigbear, Anza Borrego, and Johnson Valley.

Story:
Got this jeep in May '09 after my last Rubicon was stolen in January '09. Flew out to VA from NM to pick it up. She has bumpers, a 2.5 OME lift and 33" TruXus tires on her. I spent what was left from insurance money on the strikers, rockers, new front bumper,gas tank skid, and tires. Got into a little fender bender and ended up with new fenders courtesy of some little old ladies insurance.


Future Plans:
Winch, get my tummy tuck on, build a proper suspension for it w/ coilovers, build my steering and axles, and then get a cage and call it good on this Jeep. Until I can get a real daily driver and have some more fun with this thing.

Crawl this thread everyone and VOTE!

[spyder6]

tell your friends, tell your relatives, tell your dog! CRAWL IT

[RubiconRazorbac]

I just spent 30 minutes typing up a damn post in the other thread, hit reply, and got the ol" "this thread is closed" notice. At least that saved you guys from my diatribe

Spyder, judges, we need to make sure the process is such this doesn't happen again. We need to designate who makes the decision to keep someone in or take them out of the running and stick to the decision period. Re-starting the voting should NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

Everyone lay off of digitalcox. The guy was given a job, put in a bad spot and thought he made the right call.

CRAWL and vote!!!
