Hi from Cleveland, OH
Hi everyone,
I don't have my 4 door JK yet, but I'm not new to the Jeep community. Currently I have a 93 YJ Wrangler that just finished a frame and tub swap. My current daily driver is a 2002 Liberty Sport w/ a 2" Daystar spacer lift, machined finish 16" MOABs, and 31" BFG AT tires and an ARB Bullbar front bumper.
My lease is almost up on my Liberty and I'm selling it to get a 4-door JK. A friend of mine has a Uncle that retired from Jeep in Toledo, OH, so I am trying to see if he'll help me with the "Friends and family" disount. If not I am going to try to see if I could find someone else.
I bought my first Wrangler in 1995. It was a 1987 4.2L, 6cyl with 9,000 miles on it and never looked back. After I sold the '87, I felt like a fish out of water in a "normal car" so I quickly purchased my 2nd Jeep, which was a Navy Blue '93 Wrangler. I sold that in '02 to by my Liberty and since then aquired my current silver (originally red) '93. Here are a couple progress pics of the swap. I will post finished pics as soon as I can.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Here are a couple pics of the finished YJ and my Liberty that I have to sell in order for me to get my 4-door JK.
Finished YJ
And the KJ. Soon to have another home.
That's all the pics I have for now, until I get my JK. I'll put pics of it in the appropriate forum when I get it.
