Good pics Matt
one thing though a certain person did not sink in the puddle, maybe he was involved in a round about way, but I don't think he got muddy getting out of the drivers door :ROTFL:

Thanks Jayme and Matt for sharing , looks like fun once again
It was real hard to not just jump in the Jeep and run down there to wheel with you all, but too much to do! :banghead:

Cool lightning pics!

Looking good guys!

Matt,

When did you get rid of your KJ Renegade? Did you trade it in?

I'm hoping to make my KJ look like this once I get my lift and tires.

Who is this?

I need to tag along with you guys once my KJ is ready to wheel again. Anybody interested in an Indy lift party? It will be a simple OME install of the rear. I'm having a shop do the front because their price is too good to pass up.

T.J.

Well, the plan is to van the whole van painted that way. I want the plates IPT D FUL.

Grumpy needs a 6" SAS, 35" SSR's, and a Atlas 4-1. ... .. IMHO

Grumpy is not in good enough condition for me to bother. Besides, Eugene is the family's primary off-road vehicle. Grumpy is mostly a novelty and something for me to experiment with.

Doesn't take much more than maybe a half hour to do the rears by yourself.

I'm comfortable jacking up the KJ and placing the jackstands, but I get a little nervous after that. I'm not half the mechanic that many on this forum are. I'd feel better having someone with experience around to keep me from doing something stupid. Without an impact wrench, any added muscle is appreciated.
