Hello from Alabama!

[Shoveller]

My story -

Born and raised in Alabama, went to school at Auburn (War Eagle!), married to the greatest man (he works on my Jeep & cooks!), boy/girl twins that are almost 5.

Jeep's story -

88 Laredo, LINK with all the info/mods. My dad bought it brand new, gave it to me when I turned 16 in 1993. In 1997 it was lifted and outfitted. Poor baby has been through hell and back and was taken to pasture in 2004. Literally - my brother-in-law lives in the country and it's in his field. We have started the rebuild. As soon as we get a weekend with no rain, a friend is going to trailer it into town to a barn, were we can really get to working on it.

It has been completely gutted, and we have been given a 4.0 HO engine/trans from a 93 ZJ. We have so many plans and ideas. The goal is for it to look brand new, but with better options. More mall crawler than rock crawler. So please be prepared for a lot of stupid questions!

Sharp looking ride for sitting in a field somewhere. My MJ was DD'd and it looks like absolute poop.

Not sure if the ZJ trans is the same as what's in the XJ, but the AW4 (from the XJ) is extremely reliable and tough.

Oh, and welcome!

I spent a few of my grade school years in Alabama, still have family there. Good luck with your build.

I think he means that Auburn sucks and Bama doesn't.

yeh, that was a joke. I lived in Ttown for 9 years...but I'm not from these parts. It's apparent that we Alabamians take this football stuff just a little too seriously....:scared:

 

[PacificEd]

It looks like you have a nice XJ, just needs some TLC.

Glad to have you here.

I met Rick & Bubba and crew (before D left) at a book signing in Nashville, TN. Very nice guys. I even got a picture with them.
