Been reading around the site for quite a few months, the inspiration from here, tv, and now gmtnation caused me to buy a 2nd tb to lift and wheel it. Since my 07 is, as Roadie/Bill and others would say, "mall rated". Also since everyone here in Colorado has a lifted jeep, even my sister has one... So I wanted to do something different, It's not everyday you see a lifted tb in these parts. Although I know there is some, just never seen one in person.
So, since I already have it lifted, I figured I should join up. Now I just need the 3" body lift to put my tires on.
I'll put up a build thread shortly after I finish sorting through all the pictures.
A little about me, I work in the IT field, currently an sccm admin for catholic health, prior to that I was at Lockheed Martin space systems for 6 years as a desktop monkey.
Most of my free time goes to wrenching on the 02, or playing world of warcraft although not much on the 2nd as of late. Since It's the off season here and 95% of trails are snowed in, I'm trying to get everything done by spring.
Currently the 02 has markmc's 2.5" old lift, 1.5" wheel spacers, procomp rear shocks, Monroe reflex fronts. With 167k currently It's a daily driver for my mom, as she is a 55 year old college student and has almost no money to buy her own, that'll change when spring rolls around, and I can get it off-road.

It's not too bad, except I manage the entire infrastructure of 1700 servers in Denver, and 1500 more around the country, I keep telling them to bring someone on to help, but they say I'm doing a good job, lol. Gets crazy sometimes trying to keep track of them all.

Sometimes that is what sucks about being good at your job in IT.

Welcome to the site.
Thanks, I love it here, lived in co my whole life and I haven't found a place I like more than here.
I saw your trip across the west James, very nice pictures, sounds like it was a fun trip.
If your back in this area, send me a message, I'd love to run a trail or two with people from here.

Funny thing - I still haven't finished that trip report. I need to get on that.
We do have another member in CO. Would be great if you guys could meet in the middle and do some exploring.
