Was visiting Centralia yesterday with my wife and nephew... Walked up the closed section of Route 61 and stumbled upon a couple of members from here. Figured I would swing in to see what the site was about and post up my junk.
Picked up my bone stock YJ back in 2005... Currently sits like this:
Pretty much just a weekend beater. Sitting on 33's with 3.5" of lift, MetalCloak tube fenders, AtoZ bumpers, winch, etc, etc.... I'm in need of an axle/locker upgrade at some point, but will probably hold off until I finally blow something up.
Had good days and bad in it... The worst probably drowning in Lake Christy @ Rausch:

Needless to say, snorkel or not, I'll avoid 5' deep water from now on... :P
Besides the Jeep... I've got a WRX Wagon that I picked up earlier this year to have some fun with. Mostly a dedicated daily driver... I like having the extra cargo space for weekend trips to camp, snowboard, beach, etc. And it's quick and peppy, and just overall a fun car to drive.
Although deep down, I still miss my first "build"... My best of the best... My Festiva:
This was a compilation of 3 cars... And each build got better... It was shaved, european bodykit, headlight and tail light swap, engine swap, brake swap, ragtop, air suspension, gas filler relocated behind the tail light, etc, etc.... It wasn't fast, but it was just a great little car.
And after getting rid of that one... I built this one:
This was a "stock" Festiva with a built Escort GT engine swapped under the hood. It was an autoX toy; everything stripped out of the interior, no heater core, etc.
Anyways..... That's my brief history... Look forward to checking out some more of the site.
