Off-Road Style:
Dirt Roads/Backroads
My Garage:
  • 2013 Jeep Wrangler (4 door) (2.5" lift, 35" tires)
Newly arrived to Colorado in 2019 from Illinois. I have always loved off road driving whether it was my days in the Army in a Hummer, mud trails in a $25(yes I paid 25 bucks for it) 1977 Chevy Blazer, or now with our 2013 Wrangler Unlimited Moab and various other rigs in between. This is my first Jeep off-roading experience, we had a 2000 Wrangler sport but it was my wife's and it never made it off the asphalt. :( Looking forward to enjoying the trails out near Colorado Springs and learning how to drive better so I can start knocking off some of the Badge of Honor Trails. Also hope to bring this one back to some wetter climate for some muddier exploits! I really need to get out more often. I feel like 2022 was a missed summer. I only went out twice.

2013 Moab edition JKU I have some plans for this one but everybody says that. LOL So far we have the larger wheels, K&N filter some bling items like grab bars, and shackles (well those are useful) and a bestop under seat lockbox. Things I want to do. 2-3 inch lift (DONE), winch just in case (DONE), some auxiliary lights (not sure what), better hood latches (probably off the JL) (DONE), cat back exhaust upgrade and a AEV tire carrier(DONE - but went with TerraFlex), probably lots of other small stuff too. Its October 2020 so lets see what actually gets done. Well it's May 2021 and I have upgraded to 35in tires, new fenders and liners from Rough Country and added a 2.5in Teraflex lift kit. Also added a new Rugged Ridge Arcus front bumper and a Apex 12K winch. November of 22 and I got a lot of what I wanted to do done on the Jeep. Still thinking about exhaust and aux lighting and probably some stuff I dont even know I want yet. Now I just need to get out more.
