OK people, been sifting through some newbie posts and I notice some people near me are not on the MAP! WHooooaaahhhh! I'm on!
Going for world's longest intro!
About Me, Old Timer 45+ First time I drove a 4X4 was an old Jeep wagoneer. Dad owns a lot of property in pa and he turned me loose when I was 11. I did 6.5 years in Marines, 2.5 was for Uncle Sam to put me back together again. DAV CH. 11 Member. My Wife was also a Marine, and My two kids serve in Marines now despite me trying to get them to join AF. LOL My MOS's included PX management, 4th Force Recon, Photo journalist-repro, and 8411 Recruiter. I've done all points of install for CATV from ground to the Air and all the way into the houses. About 4 years as an Insulation Mechanic where I learned to drive truck in DC area, then I move on to Trucks full time. I drive for World's largest LTL co as a Line Haul Driver. I go as far as 1000 miles from home, but normally home every other night.
4X4 for me is out of need. I'm not all that hip on tearing stuff up for the fun of it. I got plenty of work to do without going crazy in my 4X4.
My modest rig is a Factory "S" model with some OR letters just for kicks. I might do a ARB locker if they come out with it, possibly F&R.
Off the top of my head this is what I do have.
Since I don't like to tear stuff up, I ordered SHROCKWORKS SLIDERS, Front Bumper, some Skids to replace Factory and Rear should be here soon.
JVC head unit that plays CD & cassettes plus has Aux in to play anything else, Ipod, Mini Disc, MP3's DVD, you name it. XM Roady.
I replaced all factory speakers and added some, all Alpine. I fire all that up with two amps I hide in the Rear floor compartment. 1540 Watts total. But, I only use about 300 of that. Before my ears blow. I have a custom made Sub that has too much bass! Can it be?
I like to go fast, So a Talking radar detector from Radiocrap was in order.
And, the junk it don't work Phazar Radar Jammer, a BC12, and a Cobra CB, the one with all the controls in the Mic. I did a Custom CB ant install... Drilled a hole right in the roof!
I wanted some better sidewalls as the factory tires won't hold up to Pa Rocks, so I went with BFG 285 75 16's AT KO's. Like to have some Black rims, waiting for aftermarket to catch up.
I wanted to lift it after that so I ordered AC's lift kit, paid for it and it never came, Seems AC sold me what they did not have, they got ticked when I called em on it and they canceled my order. I'm Mr.. NO AC PARTS! I put on a Daystar instead and happy I did. It was more what I wanted anyways. Everything happens for a reason! .....When I lifted I also put on Pro Comp Adjustable shocks.....After that I put On F&R Timbren Bump stops! Best Mod yet for me! I tow a lot!
A MM PD 8000 winch is in the Shrock Bumper.
For light I added 4 KC lights on 2 switches with relay's.
I can Air Up Anytime! I have a Tsunami Air Compressor mounted under the seat! To haul extra Gear I have a Basket for the roof rack.
Plenty of recovery gear. And a lot more stuff that would take way too long to mention. But you got the idea!
Like to get the Rear Shrock bumper on.
