Default Old school Jeeper getting into th 21st century

Hi, I'm derf and I'm a Jeepaholic.

So I just picked up a new 2012 JK Sport today. It's about my 10th Jeep now. I mostly do old full size Jeeps. But I decided to get into the 21st century and get a Jeep that I can actually find parts for. I use this username on other forum so some of you may recognize me. You may also recognize my gear ratio calculator http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html.

Here's me picking up the new Jeep:



It has less than 50 miles on it and I'm already planning the mods.

Welcome Derf!

It's ok to admit that you were planning mods even before you pulled on the lot...

Your gear calculator is wicked. I'll have to read up and see can I figger it out.

Yeah, I'm going to order the stubby winch bumper tomorrow since I have a winch ready to go on. And, of course, a CB radio of some kind. I probably won't lift it for a while since I have an 84 CJ7 that's really built for hardcore wheeling with a stretched wheelbase and spring over conversion with a D44/9" axle combo. And my 86 J10 is no slouch either.

I'm also going to do a bit of searching because I want to put some switches in the cubby hole where the power window switches go. I haven't figured out the right search terms (or not many people do that so it's not there to find). I'll figure it out one way or the other.
