I wasnt going to do a build thread but I have hundreds of pictures that I figured I would at least post up. Its Jeep porn as my wife calls it. :laugh: A little about me. I am a bonified 4x4 nut. I am on my 3rd Wrangler, second Rubicon, and Solid Axle swapped a newer Bronco with E Lockers, trying to make if feel like a Jeep. Ended up selling it and buying another Rubicon. Love working on my vehicles. And I love my tools tools tools. I have a 180 Mig Welder, large assortment of tools, 4 Jack stands, air tools air tools air tools! My family and I are military, I love this forum, and of course love Jeeps.
