CollinsGTO's Garage

well guys and gals, it had been a while since i've been active on here, so i figured what could be a better re-intro than a garage thread? lol so here goes.

my jeep is the DD, so its got the baby 3.7 (yeah, now i wish i got the hemi, but oh well). it currently has 108k on the odo, and hasnt given me an ounce of trouble since i bought it a year ago.

the day i bought it:

next up, Home made recovery points. this was my first try at these, and the quality turned out nice, however i need to redesign them with larger shackles, because the ones i used first time around arent rated heavy enough if this thing REALLY get stuck lol.

Nice, I was surprised to see the front air dam was still in place, that is usually the first thing to go.

thanks! yeah, this is the daily, so very minor mods going into this one. however, i was just reading over your thread about the rock sliders in the steel armidillo thread, and those will probably be going on sometime within the next few months. i really like the look/function of those!

Amazing looking GTO, I had a 1969 with the small block 400 and the hidden headlights.
