Ok, don't expect much from this. It is just so I can post pictures and some upgrades that I have done. I'm a college kid, so it will be pretty slow, and not too extravagant, but I will do my best. Enjoy! When I first got my Jeep!    I couldn't resist... my first night owning it.   WeatherTech Floor Mats          Westin Brush Bar

Looking good so far. I've never seen the mounting hardware on a westin before and I'm amazed they don't use the factory tow-hook holes. Oh-well. They aren't for towing anyway... What kind of 2" hitch receiver clevis blocks are those? I like the fact that they're drilled on both axis. Dan |

Do you get crap from your Jeep club for driving a Liberty.  My guys are always harping on me, probably because I'm more show than go.

I don't let it bug me. There was Libby owner in the club before me and he wheeled the hell out of it. He gained some respect. |

You should go wheel with us. We won't give you any crap.LOL As soon as it warms up a little and Mntluvr gets his bumpers done. We are going out to KS rocks or Tuttle creek. |

Thanks everybody! I get crap ALL the time from the club, but it doesn't bother me. I actually find it kinda funny. I had to make the plates for the Westin Brush Guard, because it didn't come with any. I think that it turned out pretty good, I mean.. it's still on there so they must be doing their job, Haha. It is a Bulldog receiver mount, I found it at my local off-road parts store. Since we keep getting snow and I am going to start off-roading it with the club, I figured it was about time that I get one. Plus I just got a hitch, so I wanted to put it to use, or at least look good.  This weather is something else... but this is my first winter with the KJ, so I enjoy driving it around in the snow. But I will enjoy it when it warms up some, that way I can work on it and still have feeling in my fingers. KSKJ- That sounds great! I would love to join along and wheel with other KJ's. Just let me know when and I will see what I can do. |

if youre gona wheel.. go buy a couple recovery hooks ( dont have to be KJ ones) and attach them to the BASE plates of your westin... you want front recovery but you dont want to use the bull bar itself as a recovery point. |

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I have a front hitch that I am going to put on. I just haven't gotten to it yet. I was going to try to put my lift on first. |

We are supposed to get some "record breaking" snow storm tomorrow. So that means more pictures will be coming! But in the mean time, I will bore you with some other things. Bought some much needed tools!     Painted the hitch, receiver, and shackle. It was such a nice day out I had to take advantage of it!     Took Shelter in my friends Jeep while being bombarded with snowballs.
