Below is a list of upgrades that I have installed on the Jeep to date. The list may seem extensive, but true jeepers know that there is always another upgrade that is needed. These upgrades were paid for by digging through the couch cushions for spare change. The washing machine and dryer are also good sources of lose change. But do the children care? Noooo!

October 2018, enter a Jeep JK Unlimited Rubicon Recon. I built this Jeep assuming it would be my last.  There are numerous upgrades including regearing the diff's (5:13), a full suspension replacement with AEV 4.5 lift, AEV bumpers, upgraded intake and exhaust, and much more.

It handles the trails better than anything I've ever owned and is much more comforable for my older and fatter body.
