[QUOTE="krahn, post: 370566, member: 7860"] Been lurking for a few months, figure I ought to intro myself. I'm a Florida wheeler (NE/Jax) so that means I only wheel a few times a year which also means I have a slow learning curve. None the less, if time/money allowed I'd be in the rocks lots more but 7+ hour drives just to wheel makes it a bit challenging. Currently have a 2001 TJ with only minor modifications. RK longs w/ the triangulated rear, 35 KM2s, Detroit in D44 rear, lock rite in D30 front, 4.56, JBC shorty on the OEM tc, full length skids, no problem bashing on it but sick of breaking stuff. Other minor comfort mods but nothing else worth mentioning. It's tough to justify tons and bigger upgrades when in FL but it still sees days at the beach with wifey and the pup. Drive it to and from wheeling so it needs to stay reliable too. I'm always surprised though at what we get through for what it is. Have some top end issues with the 4.0 so I've started thinking stroker but that's probably just a pipe dream right now. Bank account and need will determine that one. My alter ego is an over-worked corporate type trying to make his way. Spent a few years helping to lead an expanding Jeep club (Matanzas Jeep Club) into a real-deal non-profit Florida charity organization focused on wounded veterans and have since passed it off so I can focus on my family and career (and actually wheeling instead of running events). It's still the largest in FL that I'm aware of and growing. Kinda proud that I had an opportunity to participate while I could. Great group of Jeepers. I know a few of you guys on here from FL so don't hold that against me. Big thanks to Mike B. and Zack for turning me on to Hardline and to Lil Ugly for helping root the desire to wheel a few years back. I've learned a lot and hope to keep learning more. -krahn [/QUOTE]
