Hello everybody I'm Rod. I just submitted my app yesterday. Wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I have never been off-roading but I was a recovery specialist in the military for a while so I have seen my share of mud. I'm looking forward to getting out with you guys and learning, having fun and making some friends.
This is my first Jeep, I've owned it a little over a year. I have always wanted one but the timing was never right. Some of the mods where already on the Jeep when I got it, I have done a couple of things myself though.
I have a 2008 JK Unlimited X with a 3.6L V6
2 1/2" lift with 35x 12.5 Nitto Trail Grappler tires
I just had metal front, rear and oversize tire frame mount installed as well as a 12,500lb winch.
Not complete (are they ever) but i really like the way it's turning out.

Hey Rod! Welcome to the club!

Sounds like a good build!

As far as the pictures, the best option is to upload them to a photobucket or similar online service, and copy/paste the direct link as follows:

Welcome to the forum and the club! Which branch? I was a transportation specialist, then a FSTer (13F) in the Army for a while. Good to have another vet around.
