Her Names Christine

[bigones1993]

hello,

I have had many jeeps in my life but this was the first one I have ever owned brand new from a dealer I got her a little over a year ago. since Christine is my favorite book and it spends a lot of time talking about what its like to own a new car for the first time, and since I love it to death and plan on spending tons of money on it to turn it into my dream expo rig, she earned the name Christine. I got her in September of 2013 at Lucas Chrysler jeep in NJ, and for the first year I didn't to much but take it out on trails since I was working on other projects. but now Christine has my undivided attention. I have gathered my inspiration from various jeep builds and jeeps from movies like Jurassic park. I look forward to your guys opinions on how I could improve her and where I could take her to find new adventures.






some Pics From when I bought her

we hit the trails for the first time with only 700 miles on the odometer, my buddy bet me 20 bucks i would never fold my windshield down, so I did and drove it like that for a week lol

and finally some upgrades to be done this week i will try to remember to take some pics. ARB bumper, Warn Zeon 10 with steel braid, and Old Man Emu 2.5 inch lift

here is the results of my work today i got the arb bumper and warn winch installed it took all day by the time i had all the lights wired up as well. i will say the arb bumper was not easiest thing in the world to install, i have had motor swaps less painful, but it wasn't the worst thing in the world either as some make it out to be.

Hard to beat the look of the ARB. Nice work.

My OME kit should be getting delivered this week. Can't wait to get mine set up. Adding ProComp shocks as well and will be doing new brake pads.

Nice pictures, I really miss hitting the trail. The best way to spend summer imo.

I've gotten half my kit in waiting on the last of it to come in. I'm as excited as I can be did you get the 2.5 or a higher kit?
