New on the wait list

Unread post by wrath0r »

Hello,

I've just added myself to the wait list for membership so... I'll see you in 2025? :lol:

I drive a black two door 2014 JK Sahara sitting on roughly 1.5" of lift and 33" KO2s. This is about as big as I can go and still fit into my garage as it's not a standard size. This is my first Jeep and I've learned a lot in five years of ownership. Prior to the jeep, I had never turned a wrench on a vehicle. Although my jeep is a Sahara, it's seen some trails and taken some battle scars. I'm looking to join the club so I can find some closer places to wheel, and maybe meet a few people to do some impromptu small group trips with.

Here's a slightly dated picture.

Mod list (I'm sure I'll forget some):
* Rock Krawler lift netting roughly 2.5". This was one of the original 1.5" JKU lifts from when Rock Krawler didn't offer lifts for the two door models.
* Fox 2.0 shocks
* EVO Protek skid system
* Rubicon rock rail and Ace rock slider combo
* Hard rock front (stubby) and rear bumpers and Maximus-3 frame-attached tow points
* KC headlights (not LEDs - I like my headlights to generate some heat)
* No-name amber replacement fog lights from Amazon
* Superwinch Tigershark 9500SR
* Teraflex HD tire carrier
* sPod
* ARB twin compressor + manifold
* Repaired rubicon sway bar with an EVO pneumatic actuator
* Cobra 75WXST CB with a 4' Firestik antenna
* Regeared to 4.10
* 33" KO2 tires

I hope to install air lockers on the soon-ish side. I'm also planning to add more skids - particularly one over the gas tank and transfer case. And some lights for night wheeling eventually.

EDIT: After some measurement, it turns out I'm sitting on closer to 1.5" of lift.

I doubt I'll ever wind up with a light bar. :snooty:

Seriously, though, I've only wished I'd had lights once and everything else I've wished for several times. I'll get there eventually. :)
