Hey all I am Jon, some of you might know me from gmtnation. I have owned my TB for about a year now and plan on lifting it hopefully soon. I mainly need it lifted for driving around my northern Michigan property where I bottom out all the time. but also the wife and I want to do some trail riding. her yj is good to go I just put on a full BDS suspension. as for my TB I have already had the joy of changing my thermostat, plugs and most of all fun the catalytic converter I did last weekend. I don't know a lot about offroading right now so I will be mainly reading the posts and learning how and what I need to do for what I need out of my TB. once I start my build I will make sure to do a build thred. Take care all!

Yes and no, closest other from here that I know is a little over 3 hours away and the other is 6-7. Farmington hills is roughly 1 1/2.
I'm closer to Matt (Regulator) than the other 2 members here and he is in a different state

Welcome to the site. I am not all that far away, if you ever need a hand feel free to message me. Beer and Pizza is all I require! 
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
