I love Jeeps very obsessed with them! I've had countless Jeeps over the years: XJs, MJs, ZJs, YJs, CJ8

Countless XJs like 12 probably (many bought to sell), 2 MJs recent (still have), 7 ZJs (currently 2, but could have another rare 5.9L if Matt trades me his for my black MJ hint hint), 8 YJs.

I recently sold my custom 03' Honda Valkyrie flat 6 cylinder motorcycle, before that I had 3 Yamaha power cruisers, and my 1st bike out of high school was a 75' Suzuki GT550 3 cylinder bike. Fun times but if the grim reaper comes for me I rather die in a Jeep not flying off a motorcycle! I had a couple of close calls wheeling the Rubicon in the wee hours of the morning solo many times...man the best of times wheeling on the Rubicon and/or Fordyce! I sure miss living in Nocal! Now I have the Jeep herd but not much wheeling in the Mudwest!!!

In the future I'd love to have a 2 door FSJ Cherokee and J10/J20...better yet a M715! CJ6 or another CJ8 that isn't totally rusted out and doesn't run! LOL

I started on the Jeep obsession a few years out of high school with a 1990 YJ 2.5L then moved out to northern California (Santa Rosa then Sacramento) where I really got into Jeeps when so many of the Jeeps are lifted and wheeled on the Rubicon and other cool trails out there.

Then when I moved back to Illinois and wheeled my 91' YJ 4.0L with stupid body lift and 3" suspension and 33" MTs got stuck in a big water hole and hydrolocked my motor at the Badlands and had to basicly hitchhike back home 260 miles...is when I bought my 1st XJ a beater 89' 2 door, then I traded my blown motor YJ for a very modified 94' YJ with a 4.3L Vortec V6, 4L60E auto, 33s and a huge lift (SOA and 3" body lift), moved back out to Cali and traded for a CJ7 buggy etc etc.....then I got into buying craigslist XJs and flipping them. Used the 37" MTRs on beadlocks from the CJ for Big Red in my avatar pic then sold Big Red 2 years ago and bought the big 37" MTRs on the beadlock 5 on 5.5 rims back for my YJ on same axles as old big red HP44/9" SOA.

I'm big time into fish 1st Central/South American Cichlids now into Malawian African Cichlids. I have a 125 gallon set up now but have a 240 and 300 gallon acyrlic tanks in my garage and hope to set up soon when I move in less than 2 weeks.

Into lifting weights and was getting into powerlifting, but since I'm almost 36 and expecting my 1st child around my bday 10/28 many of the hobbies need to take a back seat and cutting down on my current Jeep herd of 6. :gee:

Otherwise I'm a nerdy Accountant for work and just finished my Masters in Accounting thru U of Phoenix online.
I am on the :badpc: way too much which is much of the reason I wheel and deal so much and have a huge Jeep herd and keep wrenching and lifting them! :gee:

Touche!! I got one for ya, know what a cheetah is? Bead seater, we were at work welded up a 5' piece of exhaust to a flange that fit the cheetah, we were shooting golf balls one stuck in the shed across the road, I mean stuck, like you used a hole saw and put the ball in the hole, lol

I gold every Thursday on a league.

K "doesn't mean I'm any good" man

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

Hahaha oh the stupid crap that people do at shops after hours lol. We filled a trash bag part of the way with acetylene and tied it off then put it out in the field and used a rock to hold it down then we made a trail of paint thiner from the bag to behind a car and lit the thiner. BOOM! It was like a mortar.

I play softball on 2 leagues and manage one of them. I fish and hunt all game in WI . I rarely go to an off road park now that McCaslin Mt is closed and cannot afford the gas to go anywhere else I do not wheel, but do frequent legal logging roads and forest roads just to get to some of my fishing and hunting spots but hardly need 4wd as ground clearance is the only thing you need.

I raise free range chickens for their eggs, have an apple and cherry orchard that I'm always fighting the deer from eating the trees till they get to 6 feet high.

I'm a volunteer firefighter, board member for the area recreation association, coach tee-ball and 9-12 year old girls fast pitch softball. I also repair video game systems part-time and sell them on the bay during the winter months. I'm also a slot car collector and racer.

I love cutting firewood as it keeps my weight down and get's my arss off the recliner.

Too many hobbies and never enough time or money.
