Hi my name is Mike and I live in Denver. I currently am building a 95 zj. It started off simple with a budget boost and 31s and then the bug bit me and I went head first into building a decent dd/trail rig. The whole premise of my build is second hand parts and I'm doing pretty well. It's currently running a hp44 and about to get a 9 inch rear 5.13 gears 36 inch iroks, Clayton's longarms and a few other little things. I am hoping to finish it within the next month or so just need to get all the little odds and ends done.

Just be patient craigslist always has some good deals I also troll on some grand cherokee specific forums and the local forums are great to. I got all the arms and springs for my Clayton's kit for like $200 and 2 corbeau seats for like 150 and they are pretty much brand new.

I think we have to attend events to get in on the cookies. Pretty good motivation to finish up projects and builds.

I spotted your ZJ on the Tru Automotive site. Is that your shop or did you have some work done there?

I have had a good amount of work done there. Austin the owner is a great guy to work with. This is my first 4x4 build so I'm still learning all the ins and outs.

Right on. Your rig looks like it means business. Good to see another Grand Cherokee ascend from grocery getter to wheeler.
