Happy Monday, look forward to joining the discussion, burning some hours researching, and offering a hand where I can.

I'm Matt near Charlotte, NC, and I like turning wrenches and long walks on the beach. I've been into 4x4s and wheeling for 25 years off and on with a big spike in the last 4 years since we got my wife a JL. Wheeled all over the country, most recently running the Rubicon.

Friday I picked up a new to me 2006 LJ Project that will be starving my wife for attention for the next few months/years/decades. 178k auto, fairly unmolested with what looks like a recent RC 2.5 or 3.25 and no name 33 MTs.

Pray for me, I'd like to roll up to EJS next spring sporting 40s.

The other rigs include a 21 JLUR 4xe with a lot of MC stuff on it on 38" Trail Graps and beadlocks, my daily 25 Chevy 2500HD ZR2 on 37" RGs, and an offroad square(ish)drop camper on 37s that I built from scratch a few years back.

Carpet (original) gutted and all shined up. Normally I have a stack of parts built up, the waiting game sucks. Tub looks stellar though.

Ordered:
Armorlite (damn you Rick @Rickstar321 )
Barnes 3 link front/DT rear trusses
Cavfab predators F/R and STD

A lot left to buy
