Any Jeep owners out there?

My wife and I are planning on moving to Arizona sometime in the next 4-5, jumped the gun, and bought a Jeep. We love it! It is a nice break from sports cars and the largest community of brethren out there; the forum is enormous. I have dumped quite a bit of $$ into upgrades stopping short of buying a diesel engine.

We have upgraded most all all "functional" areas including axle shafts, drive shafts, lift kit, wheels and tires, air lockers, on board compressor, lights, winch, body and under armour, bumpers, etc, ect.

Looks awesome. When Jeep put the 3.0 EcoDiesel engine and transmission in the Wrangler that's in the GC, it will be a killer option. Bought the wife a Summit diesel about two months ago. Liked it so much I bought one for myself five weeks later.

That is loaded!

The steps are lower rockers are custom, I welded 1/8" plate at the top opening of a Rugged Ridge and had liner sprayed all over.

Control Box

In my business I have control boxes for everything, installed one in my Jeep for the air lockers, compressor, main power, and lights.

I only conceptualize, my engineers and machinists do the rest, I guess it is a skill. The switches are very HD, used mil spec "leftovers" from a project, they will NEVER go bad.
