It did better than I expected. Drove 10 up to Windrock wheeled all weekend and drove 13 hours home. Not bad for a shade tree mechanic..

Very impressive

It did great and did all the same trails as the guys with TJ’s/LJ’s/YJ’s/CJ’s on 40’s.

my internal voice; " do not hear him say that about that cool JK 4 door. I am selling /trading the jku. stick to your guns . This nor any cool tubed-JK or Sam's  will not change my mind. Do not go downstwairs in garage & hug or talk to the JKU. Just continue to coldly prep it for sale to get yousel a 2 seat trail Jeep....."


I have to do that constantly, heh...

the rookie skills to back that up. after seeing what that new member Chase did on his build on JKO I had reality check. I am only just getting  a real welder.

I have the tie-rod comin which is its next to last thing to fix from Hale
to repair , then im gonna try to , man.
I really really really like this fat-butted JKU. I do wanna just thrash it a d use it but it's a pretty nice Jeep. Be a shame to grind it's doors or b-pillar across some rock. It's gonna happen. Someone could enjoy it with thier family & get into Jeeping with it & I could use it to grab something that will hurt to do but be appropriate to do .

I came close to layin her over as we were behind all you guys headin  to that boatramp trail at hale this season. I didd not like not being able to ride that myself. Not where I need to be. This Jeep just is no longer the right one for me. *. I am gong to make  an effort to get already built rig built for what I want to  do.

 I am gonna lose shirt and skin but hope to come-out bein able to find suitable trail Jeep to buy for whatever sad  amount -  compared to what we all know I've already stupidly spent - that I can get for her.

Best-case: some dude w/ built trail Jeep who has new family+ wants dual purpose jeep  = would wanna trade + cash or somethin.

 I don't think I'm gonna now drop 7,500- 12,000 for housings , wheels, 40s , then a cage , plus i dont have time ( im 50) nor the 2 post lift required to do it myself, no one is workin on it but me, im prety sure my
 OCD would not allow me any progress  to do it ,anyway, so...


wrong time to ask me that, buddy


very displeased Jeeper here.
Need drastic change.



(edit: *I don't need back seats . I put less than 600 road miles on the 4 door last year. why am I towing a mall crawler to each ride? wrong Jeep)

Logical thinking? Who does that? LOL

Good luck man. I don't see why you couldn't find someone looking to get into a more road friendly jeep after they went over the top.

Maybe put a trade thread on Pirate4X4 and see if you can get some action over there?

I'll keep my eye open for what you are interested in.

thanks,bud

yeah, once the hunt starts I have no doubt you guys'll come across some potential rigs.

I've got spec-sheet,history & build document & advert created & ready.

I've got inventory listing over 60 new/used JK specific parts I'm gonna also post.

I had some things to fix ; turns out the damage at Hale was balljoints & tierod.
Synergy BJs installed , tierod replacement on its way here now.
 At Hale, Travis & Kent helped me fix ram at axle-side mount I bent, last thing is to burn the dualshear tabs on better there.

then I'll post the ads , likely next week.

I'll post to pirate,jko & hardline plus here ,of course.  I so don't wanna deal or post to that Jeeps & Wrenches , fcbk club here but I bet my selling options increase by doing so .  [no2]
