Allright a little background on me:
Born and raised in Hot Springs, AR (about 15 minutes from the entrance of the Superlift ORV park. Joined the Navy when I was 20. Been in 8 years and some change, I'm an EO2 in the Seabees, (Equipment Operator) fun job. Been to Iraq twice with a battalion out of Gulfport, MS NMCB-74. Transfered to my current duty station in Va Beach, VA and am going to leave here Mar. '08 for a 1 year tour in Bahrain.
I have a wife, ex-wife, a 6 year old little boy named Tracker, and a 1 year old little girl named Shelby. The kids are my pride and joy, everything else is just a bonus.
The vehicles:
I have owned Jeeps and Toyotas all my life. I bought a 2005 Wrangler Unlimited in April of 06 and wheeled it with 35's for a while, kept breaking U-joints in the front shafts so I got pissed and went and stuck a 78 Ford HP60 under the front and an '87 Chevy 14 Bolt rear, stuffed with 5.13's and Detroits. Decided that a custom 3 link front/triangulated 4 link rear was in order so thats what happened. Was running 42" IROKS but hated them, so I went to what I know, HMMWV H1 recentered wheels and 39.5 TSL's. It is a work in progress and we all know they're never really done are they.
My wife is also active duty and a Seabee as well, SW (steelworker), YES she can weld like none other. She has an old 94 Grand Cherokee that is about to be cut up into a buggy with Rockwells and 47" LTB's, she also has a TDI Jetta to drive back and forth to work.
My daily driver consists of a Diesel Super Duty Ford, which also pulls double duty as a tow rig, someone stole my trailer, but nonetheless, still a tow rig from time to time.
Thats enough for now I guess.
