New to here Jeep JK overlander

[Rubicon_Fan]

Hey Everyone,

Before I introduce myself, I'd like to say that this is one of the best forums out there, been lurking for a very long while now but never had a chance to post my pics and stories!

My name is Sam, I'm in Beautiful British Columbia, Vancouver.
Love overlanding, like anything that has to do with outdoors, very passionate about fly fishing and BOW hunting...
And here is my Jeep:

Current mods on the jeep:
Teraflex 3" lift kit
Currie arms
35" Pro comp Xtreme M/T's ( new Goodyear MTR's waiting to go on in Spring
Superchips
MBRP exhaust
AEV snorkel
LOD mid width front bumper with 9500 lbs Warn HS winch
Homebrew Expedition one rear bumper
And all sorts of little things inside of the jeep
And my m101 In progress

Wecome, Sam, and thanks for going to the effort to post pictures of your JK. Nice mods, and the trailer's looking nice, too. Keep us posted.

Thanks! I'm loving it over here! I'm still in the process of building my trailer, and will keep posting my progress as I'm going along...
As for the jeep, it's pretty much done, well, I shouldn't say that, cause it's never really "completed", but for now, after putting 88000 kms, it's time to ball joints, tie rod ends, u joints.. And that will eat up most of my "jeep" budget!

Welcome to the forum, your Jeep is very well put together. You will love the new Goodyear Kevlar MT/Rs.

Nice Jeep. Where are you taking it to next?

Thank you everyone! Once I finish my trailer soon, planning on going for an expo run from Vancouver BC, to Portland OR (almost) without hitting a hwy. Should be fun 1 week long excursion!

I didn't change the axle, I went with wheel adaptors. On M101 it's (5x112 mm) I like the military grade axles. Super great life span and quality.

Thank you! My Pro Comps have 65000 on them already and getting pretty bald.
I'm gonna throw 2 of the on the trailer, keep one as a spare and put all new MTR's on the jeep.

I loved my procomps, they did absolutely fantastic offroad (snow, mud, rocks) had a great experience with them on Rubicon trip last summer, and In snow this hunting season. The only thing is, they wear out fast. I would have got another set of these, but got a screaming deal on a set of MTR with Kevlars.

Just curious. Is your passenger front axle C bent? The wheel looks like its leaning in at the top. Or are you just parked on a slope?
