Hiya, I've been stalking the forums for some time now and decided it was time to sign myself up! Being from Northern Michigan the paved roads are basically trails. What started my obsession is everyone has a mud truck or just another Jeep. I wanted to be different, also a full size truck won't fit on a lot of the trails. Besides our platform looks beastly after tracking around. :flex dirty: My mission, besides tooling around, is to build a rig capable of getting me to the remote areas I enjoy taking photos. Real shame I can't keep my truck looking clean with all the salt thrown on the roads :wallbash:

I've done a few small things. Debadged, front bumper cover removed, working on a skid plate now. I also have had a BDS suspension kit in the garage for a few months. Been waiting onot new tires before I go ahead and install for a one time alignment.
