On Friday, November 6, 2009 a West-Oak High School student died in a car accident. She was in a 1995 Plymouth Neon that was hit on the drivers side by a 2004 Dodge Dakota pickup. It is believed that the sun was in her eyes when she attempted to turn. I am proud to have been a friend of hers. We always talked about what was going on in one anothers lives. We would both listen to one another. The short period of time I knew her, she became more than a friend to me, though she didn't know and never will. This has taught me a very good lesson, but in a very hard way. Jessica was one of the best friends anyone could have. She seemed to always bring out the best in someone. Please keep her family in your prayers while they are going through this hard time.

I finally finished my stainless steel bumpers.  They completely changed the way my Jeep looks.  I also got some Hella spotlights that I mounted on my windshield brackets.  Go to page 4 to check out the new look!

Right now, I'm focusing on deciding on what kind of tires I should get next.  I want to have good mileage because this is my everyday driver, but I want something that looks aggresive.  I would appreciate if you took my poll to help me decide.  If you know of a better tire, tell me by leaving a comment.  Thanks for your help with making my Jeep the best it can be.

 

In-line 6 258, Dana 300 transfer case, 31" BFG Radial Long Trail (for mileage, long lasting, had them since summer, barely any wear, next purchase will be more aggresive!!!) with Centerline wheels, 2 KC Daylighters, Trail Master Shocks, Windshield Light Brackets(no pic),

The body is in great shape!  The only thing is that the fender flare on the front passenger side WAS...crushed!  I got a brand new set for Christmas(no pic). They are black instead of a faded gray.  I also got some stainless steel windshield mounts for lights (also shown on the blue jeep below).  At the moment I am working on building a custom stainless steel bumper for the front (dual pipe) and the back. It should look very similar to the one on page 2.

The interior has had the most work done to it.  My latest modification was the Speedliner in the floor.  It was not cheap!!!  I have some Bestop accesories such as my seats, roll bar cover and my console.  Grant steering wheel, Cobra CB, Pioneer Radio/Tape Player. I need an upgrade on the radio!

I have also accomplished some other NEEDED jobs.  Rebuilt carburetor, new valve cover gasket, new distributor cap, rear seal on transfer case, new manual choke, and master cylinder (once I had no brakes).

Thanks for the comment on my jeep. Nice CJ it looks really clean for being 29 years old, 5 Stars! Sorry to hear about your friend. A girl that used to take me home before i got my license got hit in her saturn by a guy in a ford ranger who ran a stop sign and slammed into her car on a road with a 45mph speed limit and it was pretty bad. They had to use the jaws of life to get the front passenger out but thankfully nobody in her car was seriously injured other than a broken bone and some cuts.
