Hey guys new to the forum excited to see your builds and do some wheeling with you guys. I have just recently caught the modification bug with my jeep. When I was in high school I had an old Nissan 720 with 31's roll bar sweet bumper and some other odds and ends. Wheeled when I could but it was just problem after problem with that thing. I had a broken fuel pump at Browns camp and ended up catching a ride with my buddy to the tillamook oreillys and fixing it and made it home. After a long trip from Seattle my head gasket blew and after replacing the head and repeated gaskets blowing I sold it. Anyways I owned several vehicles after that 1986 2wd f150, 1992 Dakota that was falling apart, 2005 explorer grocery getter, then my 2005 Silverado that I had some fun in. Finally I got my 2003 wj overland. Totally grandpa'd out with the RV hitch on the front and low miles. Just recently I've caught the bug and every extra dollar is going towards it. So far I just have a 2.5" budget boost 265/70/r17 all terrains on stock wheels painted black with 1.5" spacers. I modified the original side steps into rock sliders, fabricated a front light bar which will eventually house a winch. For now it has Piaa 520s. I am really excited to be a part of a group and learn more and more about modifications and fabrication. Really looking forward to getting out and wheeling with everyone. Attachments:

Nice looking WJ. You found a really good platform to start off your build with. You should come by one of our club meetings and say hi in person sometime.
