For those of you who don't know me (yeah right), Hi, I'm Marlon.

1. My School: Eastern Michigan University
2. My current employer: Jeep
3. My Major: IT
4. My DD and Wheeling Toy: 2010 KK Renegade with mods, lots of them and even one that nobody else has.
5. My Past Vehicles....

Uh I'm too embarrassed to mention but since a little digging can reveal my history, I might as well mention them, pretty sad considering I'm not even 30...

'93 Plymouth Colt (Really my sister's car but I drove it too...)
'98 Durango (DUI Wrecked, fixed to perfection, then repossessed, blame my father for all of it)
'04 KJ 3.7L (Lease, loved it, bad memories though, unrelated to the vehicle itself)
'06 KJ 2.8L (Lease)
'08 JS 2.4L Dodge Avenger (Lemon)
'08 WK Laredo 3.7L (Loved it, but never wanted it, it was just cheap to acquire)
'10 KK Renegade 3.7L (FINALLY a replacement for the '04 KJ, Only way this thing leaves my possession is a theft or wreck)
'93 Dodge Shadow 2.5L (Disposable buy to keep miles off the KK, miserable failure, only owned it for 4 days, uncle bought it from me, still driving it, I think it has 121k on it now, I bought it in January 2010 with 103k)

mmm BEER!!! That's going to be one big party...

I saw a few pics of the new Jeeps on Motor Authority. 2013 Compass, looks like they smoothed out the lines on the side of it to be more like a mini-GrandCherokee and available with a 2.2 litre diesel engine

that's good if gas prices rise through the roof, it will be more practical but I still love my brick. I feel safer driving my KK, I searched the Panda4x4, I wish Fiat would keep their small 4ss cars in Europe. "NOT I" said the red eyed skipper :ROTFL:

Ever since I came to Germany I feel in love with the Beer here. Hefeweizen is delicious IMO, if you have any questions about Germany, give me a holler. Been stationed here since '09.

Humm.. I'm 25ish, in the Army National Guard for South Dakoty, and work in the geek sector of life. I've got an associates in information technology, a handful of certifications to work on a bunch of computer crud, and currently I work for a telecommunications company. Just got finished with a 7 1/2 month stint on active duty. Arizona kinda sucks when you don't have your jeep down there to play with. My other automobile for right now is a radio flyer. Wanting to get a nice 4in lift, some 32's, and maybe some rockstar wheels.

Oh and I'm getting hitched in September...and she doesn't get the jeep thing.

Must have been at ft huachuca

So im kinda new to the whole posting things on forms so bare with me haha.
Im 25 and ive been in the army for 5 going on 6 years and i bought my KK about a year ago when i moved to El Paso (Ft bliss) because i noticed this place is one huge ORV park. I had a F 150 before that. I bought the jeep due to the fact i had a baby on the way and a truck was not practical enough for a baby, once i bought i it i slapped bf all terrains and called it a day, well little did i know once you start doing Mods you just cant stop so i have been looking for lifts bumpers you name it and wow its hard to find anything!
So here are my questions.
1) Where can i get OEM lifts ie part numbers?
2) KK Clubs in SW texas or NM?

Any help would be great! thanks :JEEPIN:
