Well straight out of basic training in August 2005 i bought my 05 Willys Edition off the show room floor.
within two weeks i already put a 2" bb and 32's on it and started wheeling it at some private rails and Rockport Off-Road Park R.I.P. (now hannibal rocks)





at this point i added fog lights on the hood rock lights a uniden cb and 4' firestik.

a few months later i found an amazing deal on a RC 4" lift brand new all still new in the box never opened for $250 shipped to my door. and picked up a set of 35" claws and 15x8 d window wheels for $200 with 50% tread left.



spring time came around and decided time to do a teraflex short shaft sye and cut down front xj shaft (went through two of them before buying a 4WD Hardware Drive shaft)



and at one point in time i liked playing in mud



then came smittybilt src bumpers front and rear tire carrier, 1.5" BL(2" cut down), Dirty Fab Belly Up, Dirty Fab Gas Tank Skid, Dirty Fab Oil Pan Skid, Safari Headlight Covers and a set of 35" AT's.
All of this was done for my ultimate road trip driving from St.Louis, Mo to Anchorage, AK and back (3 month trip)

Somewhere in the Yukon



Archangel Pass, Alaska

Have fun with it man! There are LJ Rubi Saharas running around modded, and I don't think they get more rare than them (as far as newer Jeeps go). It is just another Jeep, enjoy it!

I want a picture of the baby on the tire under the fender, just like you did with the dog!

Congratulations! Hang on! The ride just got wilder!
once its back together meaning axles are under it and tires are on. she'll probably be big enough to where i'll let her just drive it lol. maybe do the front tire and tube fender..... if mommy don't kill me first. hope i don't need to baby proof the shop anytime soon. i finally got it retard proof i think.
Congratulations man!!! She's lovely! ( I got four of them, 17, 12, 7, 2 and another one coming for next march!!! My oldest daughter Gracie, already owns a 1999 Cherokee!!!
