Hello from Newark, DE

    Recent winter photo. Work put everyone in a hotel, but I drove home instead

    Hey everyone, just got everything installed! Big ups to Aaron astape for doing the lift install along with the other miscellaneous parts, and doing so in a reasonable time at a fraction of what the local shops were charging. I took some quick photos before heading to work, so these aren't the greatest angle shots ;D

    The only thing I could use for this would make the mods unhappy. :innocent:

    Believe it or not, if you know the secret hiding places to look for them, you can find pics of girls who show their girly-parts on the interwebs.





    It's true.

    To get back on topic, :8) welcome to the board. Perhaps I'll see you around. I'm in New Castle but frequent Newark a lot since my son I a UD student. These past few winters have been nice Jeep weather. Will we see you out on the beach this summer, or perhaps one of the Java meets each month?

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I've been riding basically stock since I got her in 2014, and slowly (but painfully) acquired aftermarket parts through the years and am ready to get things going! I've messaged a couple of members on here regarding installation work as I don't trust the local shops/dealerships to do it for me, plus they charge an arm and a leg! If anyone else can recommend a good place, it would be much appreciated! I need to be able to show up to these meetings with at least some mods on the Jeep, lol. :spinrhead:

    If we all waited for our junk to be done, none of us would ever show up to the meets! Lol!


    What are you looking to get done to the Jeep? There's a lot of cheap labor to be had here! Take advantage of it! Wrenching party!

    What parts have you collected so far?



    More importantly, what is your end goal; Totally off roading, lifted street rig for an occasional trail to camp, beach cruiser....

    Rock crawling is definitely out of the question as this is my DD. I may do trails every now and then, but this will mainly be an on road vehicle for me. I was thinking gussets, but I'm not sure.[/size]

    Why gussets? Based on your description of intended use, IMO gussets are way unnecessary.

    None of what you have listed is very complicated at all. There's a couple of guys who have shops in the area that can do the work for you:
    Astape- Aaron (north Wilmington)
    Dugan- Joe @ MidKnight Fabrications (New Castle)
    Shadyluke- Luke @ Lightning Fabrications (Pennsyltucky... not far from here, I just don't remember the town name)


    You could also throw a wrenching party and have some club memeber come over and help you install the kit and all. It's a good way to meet some new faces, learn about your Jeep and get things done on the cost of a lunch/dinner! :up: :up:
