Here is my 2004 WJ, affectionately known as the JEEPASAUR. It's a 4.7L H.O. riding on an Iron Rock Offroad Adjustable Short Arm suspension w/ 4" IRO springs and Bilstein 5125s. Running 32" General Grabber X3s (love them!), and swapped the original 247/Quadradrive transfer case out for the 242/Selec-Trac case.
Owned it since 2012, and I've put about 125k miles on it in that time. Many of those miles have been spent in the George Washington National Forest (VA), Pisgah National Forest (NC), Outer Banks (NC), Osceola National Forest (FL), Ocala National Forest (FL), and Citrus WMA (FL).
I post the occasional video of her offroad shenanigans on youtube: JEEPASAUR on Youtube
As sad as it makes me, I anticipate retiring the ol' girl in the next year and getting a Wrangler or 4Runner.

It started out as a joke when I first got it, sort of poking fun at it being a stock run of the mill grocery getter. It just kind of stuck after that.

Well that gets me thinking about a name for my son's truck. Maybe JEEPAGOOTHATCRAWLEDOUTOFTHEOCEAN :)It started out as a joke when I first got it, sort of poking fun at it being a stock run of the mill grocery getter. It just kind of stuck after that.

Here are our latest Jeep’s. My JTR and the wife’s 2020 High Altitude

For those contemplating installing a 2” lift to your TJ, be careful adding a rear track bar relocation mount. During a trip to the Guadalupe’s earlier this year, I managed to crush one of the evap lines above the relocation mount (raises the axle side track bar a couple of inches). Might also be the worn out Teraflex rear springs. I R&R’d the the rear springs with med-hvy duty OME 2” springs (also allowed removing the added rear poly spacers) and the rear track bar + reloc mount with an adjustable rear track bar. Huge, huuugggeee I tell ya!, improvement in handling on & off-road and the rear bump stops (Metalcloak JK front bump stops) appreciate the reduced bump recertification (so does my back).
No issues during/after a recent Cibola/Gila trip.

My 2008 JK the day I got it back in 2013 vs how it is right now. I'm seriously looking into getting rid of it and ordering the new JLU Rubicon 4xe but I just can't decide if I want to get it in Sting-Gray or Silver. It's going to be a big purchase so I want to make sure I get it right for the long term. It's going to give me more space, a new blank canvas to start over with, and a whole list of other pros that I have listed off for myself. The only con I've come up with is I'll have a car payment again. But I've made my peace with that. lol What are everyone's thoughts on the 2 colors?

3 day old Diesel. This will be built over the next 3 mos. with 3.5" lift, 37s and Motobilt armor.

That's the way I'm leaning. I really like the way Sting-Gray looks, although it's a little confusing because sometimes it looks light and sometimes it looks dark. But I've had 3 other silver vehicles in the past so I kind of want to go with something different. I'm just hoping that the all the blue accent colors that go with the 4xe will look good with the Sting-Gray color. That JT looks great btw!
NEIN! NEIN! NEIN!
The first JT off of the assembly line was Billet Silver, because Billet Silver JT is best JT!

Sting-ray Jeeps have been turning my head for a while so it was an easy decision when I got the JT, well pretty easy as the other two that I was interested in were cool colors as well - white, which I also like and the new tan color. But glad I got what I did. A buddy has a silver JK and he hates the color and has been selectively black rhino lining bits and pieces and I think it looks really good.
