Hey All,
I've been lurking for awhile and recently joined after buying my first Wrangler. Ended up buying a stock 2008 JK and I'm slowly making it my own. So far I've put on pro comp wheels with 33" Duratrac tires, relocated the side mirrors off of the door and replaced my leaking softtop with a Bestop trektop NX. I few more minor things and I'll be trail ready. This is a daily driver for me, haven't driven my Grand Cherokee since I bought the wrangler. That being said I don't think I'll add too much more (wondering how long it'll take to eat those words).
Don't know how I'll like wheeling, but I imagine I will. I started riding dirt bikes when I was 8 or so and have always had either a dirt bike or quad while I was younger and turned to street bikes as I got older. Currently own a 2012 Street Glide.
Only picture I have of the jeep right now is the one below. Can't wait to get out there.

You will add/change from your first off road trek on. Don't worry, it's a normal disease with all sorts of symptoms. Not really fatal...unless you are talking about your bank account. Welcome.

Re: Howdy
I'm predicting your next mod for off road will be free and I'll present a choice for you.
A. You can remove those steps now with tools and sell them.
B. You can wait for a trail run and remove the steps with no tools and dispose of them afterwards.
