Jeepers

[c5fourj]

spent three years building this with my then 15 year old son, sold it last year, he never liked the off road we switched to Duramax, you name it, it had it; built axles, lockers, custom built transmission, oh yeah and a supercharger

Wow that's too bad, I would have killed to have my dad help build me something like that. Like Irving said, at least you got to spend time with him.

Nice Jeep.

Here is a much younger "the dude" in a YJ I built with my Dad. Obviously, lockers help! This is Terminator trail just North of Phoenix.
It makes me sick to think about what I traded it for. Not quite as built as yours, but... Tera 4:1, Tera SYE / short shaft and therefore new driveshaft, F/R ARBs, then Ford 8.8 with discs and another new rear ARB, warn winch, synth line, warn alloy front axles and warn manual hubs, PSC front cage welded in, custom lock boxes, custom 4x4x1/4 rockers, TJ flares with cutting, etc. I don't know what else and don't want to think about it.


I once drove it cross country from Charleston, SC to Moab and back. (Ouch)
This is why I bought a CTD and a tow dolly. Eventually, my wife wanted to get rid of it for a new 4 door JK, which I obliged. The JK was the worst vehicle I've ever owned and after 6 jeeps, 4 of which were lifted, I hate that the JK made me hate jeep, which used to be my favorite thing.

Couldn't agree more. I did not like my JK at all after owning a nice TJ! Sold it off quickly after dumping 7k into RK lift, armor, 37s, etc. Would love to build a Cummins CJ or an LJ in the future. No more JKs for me!

I read through the first 30 pages of this thread the other day and have been meaning to pm you and ask how things were going with the Jeep, and in general. I'm not real Jeep knowledgeable, so you'll have to remind me which chassis style your white Jeep was.

Mine was a 2011 2-door JK. The big downfall was the 3.8 minivan motor that was in those years. The new 3.6 is supposed to be lightyears better. The old 4.0 is my favorite though.
