Welcome to my little corner of the web. If you're here for the first time you're probably
looking for my "world famous" (heh heh) gear calculators. The links are over to the left, enjoy.
Who out there has been visiting this site since the 90's? Back when I lived in Colorado, back when I was wheeling a
full size Chevy Suburban? Who of you has visited this site year after year and have seen little change? That is about
to change, at least for the next month or so. It's May 2015 and I just bought a 2008 JK salvage title 2-dr for my
daughter's HS graduation gift. I hope to show you all pictures of what I plan on getting done. What I'd like to do is
put a 6 inch lift with huge axles and lockers. But, I really want this to be a safe daily driver first, so I'm gonna have to keep the altitude
a little closer to the pavement. I haven't totally decided on a "look" but I'm thinking a flat fender look, steel bumpers,
a couple body mods, lighting and audio to name a few things. So far I like the yellow, but don't be surprised if I change
the color before it's all said and done.
First step, do the body work. Here she is (a before pic)...

What is better than a Jeep? How about two jeeps! As you know I've been driving a '94 Jeep ZJ for years.
In 2006 we traded my wifes '03 Yukon XL in on a new smaller '06 Jeep Commander (XK). It has become the
new jeep daily driver (My daily driver is an '07 Dodge Ram)
In 2005 we bought a Maaco Collision Repair and Auto Painting center. Besides being a small business owner with all the headaches,
there is one benefit... I OWN A BODYSHOP! :-) So I cut and trimmed the wheel openings
and painted it to match the Commander. New paint deserved new tires and
wheels, oh and a decent lift too... I chose the Rubicon Express 3.5 inch lift.
However, a bodyshop alone couldn't provide me with jeep accessories for all my mods and plans, so I looked for alternatives. Fortunately, I came across CARiD! Here I was able to find everything needed for my Jeep.

- 2005 Easter Jeep Safari -

3.17.2005 - Finally, I'm on my way back to Moab. It's been a long time and I'm excited to try out my Jeep Grand Cherokee on the trail.
Look for me on Hell's Revenge Tuesday, Gold Bar Rim Wednesday, and
Metal Masher on Thursday.
I had big plans for the ol ZJ before hitting the trails but
that thing called LIFE kept me from installed a cool long arm lift and 33's. Oh well, maybe
next time. It's my daily driver so wish me luck that it'll make the long drive back to Texas in
one piece!

I finally did it! Installing a Lock-Right locker was a breeze, and to prove it I took plenty
of pictures. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Come one, come all (4x4r's that is)... I used to have a pretty good list of 4x4 related links
to websites. Unfortunately a lot of those have become dead links over the years. Websites
come and websites go.
If you have a favorite 4x4 website or run a 4x4 website use my Link Submit form.
Provide me with a URL and short description of what it is and I'll get it posted post-skosh. Here is the list in
progress: Reader's Links
Please Tread Lightly!
