Hello

Just got a 99 TJ, I had been wheel'n a Toyota Tacoma TRD and it was nice but.... always wanted a Jeep. Plus I had been coveting two I saw every Sunday at Mountain Christian Church so I got my own. One had a Maryland Rock Raiders sticker so I thought I would check it out.

Here is a break down of the Jeep

windows.

a 3 core metal radiator.
There is a hand throttle on the shifter.

Woods rear drive shaft. Front drive shaft was recently retubed.

Stock 3.73 gears

Dana 30 front, no locker.

Dana 35 rear with Warn full floater kit and lockright locker.

eliminators.

M8000 winch, synthetic rope, and spider trax fairlead.
In cab controls for winch, solenoid mounted under the hood. Rear trailer hitch.

rocker steps (frame mounted, Sahara rocker cladding still in place).

Misc:

Rear flush mount LED lights. LED third brake light and side marker lights.
Small bolt lites for rear license plate lights

I hate to say that I "bought it" instead of "building it" but I could not have done it myself for the deal I got on it.

I will be sending the application papers soon and look forward to wheel'n with you all soon. I am also a member of Christian Crawlers. I have been to Paragon (rip) and Rousch but only in the Taco, I have not had the opportunity to get the Jeep there yet.


I am married with a 14 year old son and am a construction manager for a national builder.

Welcome, and it sounds like the Jeep is setup to come and and play. Very nice starting point.

Welcome to the club and forum....

welcome to the club Though your missing one thing on that upgrade list, custom woods pin stripping. Don't worry though next time you come out with us we can fix that.

Oh its already got some pinstripes. I bought the jeep from Mark Letcher, he helped Lynn and Bruce when they started Rousch Creek. I just cannot wait to put my own stripes on....
