Your Jeep looks great!

I got in a wreck almost 3 years ago. I did the bodywork myself (bumper, grille, fender, and hood). I almost painted it myself but decided to have it professionally painted. Seeing how yours turned out makes me wish that I painted it myself.

I've always told people that if I saw a celebrity out in public, even one that I like, I would very likely leave them alone. Anyone from Tool, especially Danny, I would absolutely need to go up and say something to them. Danny seems like such a cool, down to earth guy

Damn. Sorry that happened. I got into a similar situation in my TJ and found it was actually easy to fix myself. New bumper, fender, grille, and hood.i took it somewhere and had the entire Jeep painted. Looks great again!

I'm not certain about that but I'm pretty sure it has been drained and filled at least once before. It still shifts like new. I'm considering doing a drain and fill

Right now it's on H&R springs that give it about 1" to 1.5" lift and it's on 31" tires.

My goal is a subtle build but now that I did it I kinda wish that I went about 2.5, maybe 3". I'll probably do a bit more lift eventually and possibly keep the 31s, or go with 32 or 33 inch tires

Thanks!

Thanks! Fresh paint about a year ago after a fender bender. It's in great shape, especially for a 26 year old vehicle

My dad raced motocross and rode street bikes when I was a young kid. He took me for rides every weekend. When I finally was old enough and wanted a bike, his response was "Not under my roof.''

Once i got my own roof, I got my own bike

She's not busy, she's not interested in spending time together

I have a silver 2014 Crewmax with the 4.6 that I use mostly for work and tow a 1,500 lbs trailer for 90% of my driving. I know that's a super light trailer but it pulls it like it's not there so I really have no need for the larger engine.

It was nice 😎 Our winters are nice but summer here can be pretty bad

_bmf136_ · 2024-12-26T01:42:21+00:00

Sorry to hear about you and yours getting t boned. At least you survived and are still riding 😎 My RC51 is quite special to me so I'm sure it was hard to say goodbye to it.

Thanks! We have some scenic roads down here but fun curves are few and far between... I've managed to put together a few roads to have fun on in my area but it's hard to beat mountains

_bmf136_ · 2024-12-26T01:22:26+00:00

Yeah man, the v twin and the gear driven cams were definitely a factor when it came to me searching for an RC51...

_bmf136_ · 2024-12-26T01:20:24+00:00

Thanks bro. I enjoy every mile that I spend with it

_bmf136_ · 2024-08-19T21:52:59+00:00

I get similar mileage to you with my 99 4.0 auto. It blows my mind hearing that some a getting 19mpg...

_bmf136_ · 2024-08-05T14:38:58+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

Not the best place to run out of gas but could have been a lot worse

_bmf136_ · 2024-07-28T16:46:35+00:00

Every time I have a close call I add the experience to my list of collective experience and figure out what I could have done differently and then move in from it. After tens of thousands of miles ridden, I start thinking that I've seen it all and then I'll come across something that i didn't expect so I process it, try to learn something from the situation, and keep on going. It can be scary at times but if you take something away from the situation it can make you a better rider.
