wow dude nice work on the garage. looks great!

Thanks man! It's slow progress but I love working on it. I grew up doing carpenter work with my dad so I love doing this type of stuff.

OK now to the jeep.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, V6, QT1, Khaki outside, tan inside.

I don't think I have any stocker pictures but you all know what it would look like. It was in the body shop getting a new front end where the PO hit a deer at 55 mph. So I bought for a steal.

Within 6 months or so of having it, I added a 2" Rusty's lift, Moabs, 265/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers, and a Rola Roof rack.





I didn't do much offroading at this time. I didn't know people that did and I had no where close by.

About a year after owning it, I added JKS front discos, 4xGuard Matrix with Receiver, and a CB.

So I finally found some cool dudes to go offroading with. And this is pretty much what I did for about a year besides normal maintenance.




This is Scott from SC. His rig looks completely different now.



So does AJ's

After seeing Sal's 4xG belly guard, I knew I had to have one. I don't have any pics of the install (there's plenty elsewhere) but I do have aftermath pictures, LOL.

Back in November 2011, I installed Monroe Load Levelers (longer version). Once again no pics but I will get some soon. I need to fix the boot thing, it has slid down.

Here is an offroading pictures with them installed. You can kinda tell.



I got tired of trying to hear everyone on my CB. It's in the cubby hole as stated above and it really muffles the speaker. So I installed an external speaker from Radioshack.




Look mom, no wires showing!!!

Since I've installed the Load Levelers, the back is sitting higher than the front. It has a very steep rake in my opinion. So I order the front setup of this



I have the struts also but no time or money to get the install done. It'll be done by 3/31 for URE I know.

Yes! Another WK build!

Finished up the receptacles in my garage this evening. I believe there were 12 receptacle boxes (2 gang so that makes 24 actual receptacles). This weekend, I'll start on the overhead lights wiring and probably go to Lowe's and get some keylesses.

My SOLID diff cover is suppose to be here tomorrow. I'll post pics if it comes.
