Yes it's cliché. But the Mrs agrees that it's better that I spend time with the jeep than another woman. MLC, as we call her, was picked up by us in April '13. A mix of a necessary 3rd car, birthday gift to me, and planned purchase she is both a DD and my off road toy. When purchased her stats were:
* rebuilt i4 with 20K mi
* Manual transmission
* 3" lift
* Mild body rust with a rust through on the front driver fender, left and right of tail gate above bumper
* 2 sets of tires/wheels - BFG AT 30x9.5x15 and 33x12.5x15 on steel rims
Since we've picked her up I've added
* BFG MT 33x12.5x15 on solid aluminium rims
* ZJ tie rod
* Rampage frameless top
* Aussie locker in the front
She's been well used by the previous owners and has plenty of beauty marks. I've added a few of my own. I'm spending the winter working on dealing with some of the rust, killing death wobble and trying to figure out a few persistent issues. M4 is doing most of the work while I learn how to do some of this stuff myself.
Hoping to get a few more things done this spring. I'll post things here.
