I got ya Wendy. I was not offended by it, and i knew you meant no harm. I had a few too many last night and kind of went of on a tangent. I normally would not put all that out there and feel a little embarrassed about it. Plus i kind of hijacked the thread.
Thank you all and sorry for the rant/hijack.
Thoughts and prayers go out to your brother Wendy. Oh and what part of CA. Are you in?

Lol, silly of me to forget. The peoples republic of Comifornia strikes again.
Wendy, I know you didn't mean any disrespect by it but not all of us who don't pay taxes do it by choice.
See, I'm a disabled Vet, I served a year in Iraq and 6 months in Afghanistan before an IED exploded under my truck causing a severe concussion, shrapnel wounds and injuring my back. I count myself lucky though, my driver did not make it home. I'm now permanently disabled and unable to work. I get by though, i can still walk, most days with a cane, but not always. I enjoy life as much as I can while dealing with the demons in my head.
The hardest part is not working, being a productive member of society. But i would gladly do it all again for my country and those in it.
On bad days I hop in my Jeep and go for a drive, that's why i love it, and having the the feeling that i am part of a community of jeepers makes me feel even better. You all are a special kind of people and i like that too, even though some days we are all just "special".

Nice fenders Maverick!! No lift yet? Did you get your ebrake adjusted?
The look of your JK without a lift (and with the flat fenders) makes me think I could possibly run 35's with no lift and no rub...even with articulation.

Might need a leveling kit at minimum to run 35s. TF sells theirs at $130

Looking good! I know those flares weren't faded much at all,but I just used some Mother's Back to Black on the faded to hell stock front bumper I recently picked up, and it looks brand new now. So those Bushwackers should def look new with some of that stuff.
