careful...... you will find yourself spending every spare dime on mods.... :wavin2:

Elwood · 09-27-2008, 09:45 AM

Looks like mine used to. With a few vitamins and a thick wallet, yours could look like mine!

vsheetz · 09-27-2008, 12:24 PM

Very nice!

Figure out what kind of wheeling you want to do - devise a build plan - and enjoy!

yeah i know. i already have looked at some mods for it. but luckily my loan payments are under $300 a month for it so it makes it pretty easy to dump money into it.

Like vsheetz said, wheel it stock for a while, research, talk to a lot of people about their experiences, ride in others Jeeps and figure out what you want to do with it. Mine was stock for 20 months before I could decide what I wanted.

Located in Hoopeston, just north of Danville.

do you ever go over to badlands?

Elwood · 09-27-2008, 11:10 PM

Been a couple times and I really like it. Not since the lift though. Still working out some rear drive line vibes. Harvest is pretty much upon us and every free hour I have I spend on the farm, but I am hoping to go after harvest. I will give you a shout next time we go if it is not a spur of the moment thing. I have a friend who will call on a Sunday morning and want to leave in 30 minutes!

Hey ,

Congrats!!! What did you pay for her? If your going for looks you can add what you will but you will be amazed what that thing can do stock as is!! If your going for usability then add stuff slow as you need it! Your needs may change once you decide where you want to take it and what you want to do with it.. Looks really great to me!With low miles to boot! Looks like it has never been off road from the outside.. Learn how to take the right line and you will out drive some well equipped jeep! Welcome! Big Jeep wave! I found with Jeeps after they buy one People will love them or hate them there's not much of a in between.. That's why you can get some good deals out there.. Have fun! George
