Well if you haven't guessed by now, I own and have owned several trail rigs since the beginnings of Jeep Expeditions.

What earned the nick name "The Green Gremlin", Big Green as its former owner called her was my first TJ Wrangler. I've owned a number of the "little Jeeps" from my first CJ5 in the 70's, my CJ7's (three of them to be exact), two CJ8 Scramblers and two YJ Wranglers. I never really saw myself in a TJ, I thought they were kinda "girly" when they first came out with that car like dash. But after owning and driving Big Green, I've even scrapped the plans to replace the TJ dash with a CJ one as it grew on me.

Big Green has a 4" Rubicon Express Lift with Curry Anti-Rock front Sway bar, an ASFIR 4x4 Front Bumper and skid plate, a 4 Wheelers Supply rear bumper/tire carrier with Rock Hard 4x4 Jerry Can holders, Warn Body Armor on the rockers and rear corners, a Swag Off-Road rear CJ tailgate coversion, Toad Hop Metal Shop hood mounted anti-theft HiLift Jack mount, Roll Cage enhancements by Rock Hard 4x4, a Warn 9.5ti winch, Kilby Enterprises on board air and dual battery conversion with dual Yellow Top Optimas and a 220 amp HD alternator, Yaesu 8800 Ham Radio with Diamond antenna, Cobra 29NWWX CB with Wilson 5000 Trucker antenna and quad train horns. Both Axles are D44s with ARB Air Lockers. The front axle has been converted to FSJ/ bronco locking hubs and crossover steering via Reid Racing Knucles, Ford Bronco Hubs and 3/4 ton Chevy brake components. It rode on Allied Monster Beadlock wheels with 285x75R17 (33x12.50) Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar MTRs. A ZJ roof rack tops the factory hard top.

Sometime In 2011 Big Green went to a new home and I got started on my 1st JKU project, a 2007 Sahara. The longer wheelbase and extra space for gear and the Jeep Dog makes the modern day JKU a necessity for week long vehicle dependant overlanding.
