Myself I'd have to thank...
Quinn (macgyver) and Heather (For all the help with both Jeeps, the lifts, bumpers, armor, etc..., and most of all the Forum)
JJsKJ, EdValencia, Burchie, Yahzi, Allyrand, StevesKJ, and many other SoCal Jeepers for help/support in many, many ways.
TJKJ for the help with the steering rack in Moab.

No one has helped me with parts yet, but so many people have helped me with information and giving me some little things to know about the KJ and how to maintain it, perform those little services on it and such.

JJ without a doubt has helped me the most in getting my jeep to where it is today, and I don't mean on jackstands. :wink:

He sold me my rear OME springs for one, but he helped me more with tons upon tons upon tons of info on my SFA project.
ohv-kj helped me too, but I bugged JJ more about it than anyone else and he hooked me up with a ridiculous amount of info.

Pixeldzn and KJBOL who I met at my first midwest m&g. That experience got me off to a good start in LOST.
Moose - straight answers and good advice. Hope to meet him one of these days.
OldNavy - Was a mover and a shaker for the CRD early. Moved on to a Mercedes Diesel.
gmctd - who joined shortly after OldNavy departed and has turned out to be a endless resource of CRD technical info. And his posts usually make me laugh.
Lots of other CRD owners. This is the place to be if you need help with the little diesel.
RL - the komodo bumper changed my KJ's attitude more than any other mod
tjkj2002 - blazing a trail, always interesting to see what he's up to.
AllJ's - I have many of their products, mostly second hand. One of these days I'm going to order direct.

Green Diesel Engineering - made my little tractor even more fun to drive

Ditto that. Thanks to all the regulars here.

Well without Tommud I probably would have been replacing front struts by now, And still be looking for my front drive shaft vibration, And would probably still be happy with my spacer lift :evil:

Without TBJ would have never had inspiration for my gyrocopter mod

Without TJKJ I would still have some Driveline issues.

Without everyone, I would've traded the KJ for a JK..... :shock:

tan's2002kjlimited · **Posted:** Sat Aug 22, 2009 3:12 pm

I'd like to thank,

First and foremost, Aaron (ihatemybike), for providing the muscle installing my front lift
and A Arms on a hot Saturday afternoon.. My poor arms can't do what they used to be able to do.
Also for driving me around, frantically trying to fab a missing spacer
on a Saturday.

Jayme (Yellocoyote), for the Canary yellow trans skid, and putting on the rear
shocks and springs while we were wrestling with the fronts, still.

Steve (Stingn), for working with Jayme at the rear. By that time it was dark
and were working with flashlights. Not fun.

aliastel, for selling his A Arms and Frankenlift II for a good price.
He moved on to some kind of Range Rover he got for a song.

Anyone else I may have omitted, a big thank you to you, also!

If you see yellow, flip me over. (No, I haven't pissed myself, I hope!)

USAFCOP · **Posted:** Sat Aug 22, 2009 3:46 pm

I'd like to that the Academy.... Oh wait wrong show....

RL is the biggest pusher of change for me.... and then TJ knows how to do the mechanical that I have forgot... JJ, for a few answers... I still think we need chat, I miss chat to pitch crap back and forth, can you believe that was almost 8 yrs ago already!!!

jeepfrog · **Posted:** Sat Aug 22, 2009 8:23 pm

I'd have to start off by thanking pixldzn, FreeJeep and AndySRT for help with intalling my first major mods - the Rusty's coil lift and Rock Lizard Super Skinks. SunDvl for the Skid Row front skid. Ethan J. (can't remember his screen name) for the license plate bracket.
Of course I have to send out a HUGE "Thanks" to Aaron (ihatemybike) and Jayme (yellocoyote) for all their help with various repairs on the jeep - you guys are the best!

SweepnChoke · **Posted:** Sat Aug 22, 2009 8:46 pm

Tom Mudd - OME HD's over Rancho's advice
Inc. - Hi-Lift mount/spare tire carrier advice
phxtoad - Hi-Lift adapter design
jeepfrog - brackets for stock renegade side steps for my wife's liberty
All the people that chimed in on my mud bog thread

plenty more I can't remember

tumanator · **Posted:** Sun Aug 23, 2009 12:15 am

I like the idea of this thread, but I'm not gonna single anyone out.
*I've got ideas for some custom fabrication from people on here.
*Decided on my lift on here.
*Learned how to install my lift on here (several people chimed in opinions and "fix" options on that one.)
*Got good feedback and advice on what tires to run from several people.
*One nice admin with a black jeep (ok that's the best I could do for not singling anyone) helped me get a good start on new skids

Basically a lot of people are active Jeepers here, and many of them helped me. I only hope I've been able to give back a little of my limited knowledge and advice. Continue on L.O.S.T.

Murphyman · **Posted:** Sun Aug 23, 2009 1:27 am

I'd like to blame the LOST community for essentially forcing me to spend 2g's of a college kid's money. Now it's time to fill out the broke college kid stereotype. :evil:

Because after seeing some pictures here, I couldn't resist.

But really, a big thanks to all of the KJ experts here. I'm now an official Jeep owner because of it!

Boiler · **Posted:** Sun Aug 23, 2009 1:38 am

Yeah, I came here for simple tire info and 8 months later I'm spending 30 hours a week thinking jeep and up to my ears in debt. Thanks for nothing... :twisted:

Really though...

Inc, JJsKJ, TJKJ, Tommudd, 03CDKJ, Kugellager, Ribbon, TBJ, Voodoomann, Ms5490Renegade, & Durangotang have been so great and free with their time in discussing lifts, mods, fabrication, as well as digging up posts & pictures for me.

The whole OHIO group has been an awesome sounding board for my ideas, even when I probably bored them to tears a few times.

Inc, RL, Boblemoche, JJsKJ, Kugellager and others have given me plenty of fab inspiration and I appreciate every bit of it.

I just hope I can prove as helpful to the community as it has been to me. Y'all rock! Thanks for putting up with my many longwinded posts.

oddball · **Posted:** Sun Aug 23, 2009 9:52 am

No one ever helps me. :cry:

But seriously - after thinking about this; Corwyyn, Yellocoyote & JJsKJ have all supplied great tips. And I would be remiss if I didn't include Tommudd's advice in the forums here.

Best of all, it's great we have forums like this.
