Excellent. I simply have Wrangler X with rubi wheels and a 2.5 suspension lift done at Hi-Tech auto in Chantilly. I am looking to link up as well; I would like to gain some wheeling knowledge before I dive into installing a string of upgrades.

I am part of a local motorcycle forum so I am keen to meeting internet strangers, as weird as that sounds

Not weird at all!! I met a few folks on here a few moths back and now my wife thinks I have a "man crush". We have wheeled together, installed a lift kit, replaced a u joint, fixed an e-brake, drank beer, had a blast, and really get along (oh and started a group text ). Is that weird?

Completely agree. I thought it was weird at first but I think that's just part of how the jeep community works. I've met quite a few people on the forums. Some we just wheel together, some become close friends

And I have to know, who's the man crush, me or JJ?

Yep, there is a guy, who shall remain nameless, threatening to build an Overland Trailer from a Harbor Freight frame.

Some have done it. Not to sure I'd trust it though. That said, I have sorta kinda started to look at 'em. The actual companies that make them.
