For my Jeep

I found more parts for my 4WD Jeep. I really am having a lot of fun shopping for the stuff I want to fix it up. There is so much to choose from when it comes to modifying a Jeep. I have looked at all different set ups and have a few different ones in mind. Like most women, I am having a little trouble making up my mind about them. They all look so good, that it is hard to choose. I was thinking about putting a rack on the top of it for storage, but I am not sure which one will be better.

There is also new bumpers and fenders and other such stuff which will make my Jeep look amazing. My boyfriend has fixed his up and made it look really good. When he bought me mine for Christmas, he bought it with fixing it up foremost in his mind. My Jeep is a little different from his, but the concept is the same. We have had so much fun with our jeeps, that my brother is considering buying one as well. He was over here yesterday watching us search this site for parts. He gave his input of course on what he thought would look good and be useful as well.

I have a place drawn out with only a few adjustments for other stuff. Bestop is going to help me with some of that. I can’t wait to see the finished product. It is going to be so sweet looking. I hope to have it all done by the end of April. That should give me plenty of time before camping season gets here. We are already planning our first trip to the Smokey Mountains. We will be going as soon as school lets out half way through May. It’s going to be so much fun.

My Jeep

I am getting a new Rugged Ridge Bumper for my Jeep. I am so happy, because I finally get to start upgrading my ride. I want everything ready to go for camping and four wheeling season. Mine will have a winch in it for those times when I need to pull myself out or help someone else get unstuck. It never hurts to be prepared after all.

We have been making plans to go to a few really big gatherings this coming summer. We want to travel a bit and be able to take the kids to places that we have never been before. There are massive four wheeling events all over the United States. No matter where you live, you can find at least two or three in the surrounding areas to go to. I have never lacked for places to go four wheeling. I fell in love with big trucks and mudding when I was in high school. I used to go on the weekends with my friends on ATV’s and a few trucks as well.

My Jeep is my baby, just like my fiance’s Jeep is his baby and we are very particular about how we want them to be. His Jeep is just about finished thanks to me and the Christmas presents I bought him for it. There are only a couple of things he wants to get for it and then he will be completely done. Now it is my turn and I get to go all out for mine. I have picked out a bunch of stuff for it, but haven’t totally decided exactly which to buy. There is just so much that you can do to a Jeep to upgrade it, that choosing can be difficult. My fiance will help me narrow it down some and then I will make the final decisions. We are actually sketching out what it will look like with all of the new parts on it.

Lift kit

So I bought my honey a lift kit for his 4WD for Christmas. He was so surprised by it. I knew which one he wanted and ordered it online. Hiding it was difficult to say the least. I had to get it up into the attic after I wrapped it, so he wouldn’t try to shake it to see what it was. When I took it down from there to put it under the tree, I buried it under the kids presents that we already had. He never even knew it was there.

You should have seen the look on his face when he opened it. That look was priceless. He didn’t think we had the money for it yet, but I had been putting away money for Christmas all year and didn’t let him know how much I had. It was a little trick but so worth the effort. Now his Jeep will look amazing with the lift on it. We are going to have to put some steps on it just to get into it now. Fortunately, they are not too expensive and we can get them buy the end of January. He will install everything at the same time.

I am so happy that I did this for him. It is hands down one of the best presents that I have ever bought him. He does a lot for us though, so he really deserved it. He asked me if I wanted one on my new Jeep, but I said no. I have to do the grocery shopping for the house and it would be too much to try and get the groceries in and out of it. Not to mention the kids have to be able to get in and out of it every day. Just too much trouble for an everyday vehicle.

New tires

Well boo, I have to go buy new tires for the Jeep. I really didn’t want to do that until after Christmas, but one of them went flat and my honey said to just go do it. Tires for a 4WD are not cheap by any means, but I have no choice so I will. I am going to have to take the kids with me and that can be a pain. Have you ever taken the kids to any kind of repair shop? If you have then you know exactly what I am about to go through. At least the shop we go to has a nice sitting room with a TV and refreshments as well. I will make them bring a book or something as well.

I have to write down what he told me about the tires to buy. I should have had him text it to me, but alas I didn’t think of it and he is at work. He wants me to get a slightly different tire then what is one there. The tires on it now are street tires only and he wants something a little sturdier than that. As you know we go out four wheeling and camping in remote places, so he doesn’t want to have to worry about the tires not being able to handle the terrain. That is definitely important when we are out in the woods. I will probably have to call him or take pictures of the tires from the shop and send to him so he can see what I am buying. I want to make sure that it is the right thing after all. I do not want to have to go back. I am not ever sure that you can once you leave. Better to get it right the first time.

His Jeep

My mans Jeep CJ7 is the bomb. Now that we both have Jeeps, we will have more room for camping equipment on our trips. Plus, we can now get another trailer for the four wheelers and take all of those with us as well. Most of the time we have had to have a friend carry two of them for us if they were going and had room. To be honest, we have only been able to take all of them one time. This will definitely be a bonus.

He said something about putting a rack on the top too. That way when we take our long trips to the mountains, we can take the kayaks as well. He wants to take everything with us. It makes me laugh and just shake my head. Oh well, we have the room now. I have a feeling our big trip next year will be a doozy and last much longer than usual.

There are still a few things he wants to do to his cj7 before spring hits, but I am confidant that it will all get done. Winter seems to be the season we up grade or buy our toys for summer fun. I have been thinking about getting him a snow mobile, but we don’t get enough snow here to actually use it very often. Last year we only got about two inches of snow. I know that he has always wanted one, perhaps we can get one and trailer it behind the cj7 up to a friends when they get snow. It is only about three hours away from us and they get a lot of snow. I know that it doesn’t make much sense for us to get so little snow and them a whole bunch. We aren’t that far away from each other after all.

So happy

My honey just bought me a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now we have to Jeeps and I am so happy. It is an early Christmas present from him and the kids. I don’t know how they were able to keep it a secret, because they went with him the other day to buy it. It was delivered today, just a little while ago with a great big bow on the top. The kids had just got home from school and he had just come home from work when it arrived. I was in shock. I never thought in a million years that he would get me such an expensive present.

It is a used Jeep, but it is new to me and I absolutely love it. Now we sort of have matching vehicles. His is a different model though. I can’t wait to go show it off to my friends and my mom. She is going to flip. He must have been saving for this for a long while and I had absolutely no clue. He has worked a lot of over time this past year though, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise to me.

I cannot wait until tomorrow. I have a lot of errands to run and I will be able to drive my new Jeep. I have to go to the DMV and make it legal first thing in the morning, then I will be all set to go. I hope that they are not very busy. I have to be home by lunch time. The kids have a half a day tomorrow and will be home much earlier then normal. After that, it will be a mad house for two weeks. By the end of the Winter break, I will probably be stark raving mad. Hehehe.

Check it out

You have to check out the Body Armor Reviews on this site. I am always looking for new stuff for our Jeep as you all know and constantly finding cool companies that make after market products to use. Four wheeling is our favorite past time and we take excellent care of our Jeep so that we can enjoy it to the fullest. Protecting it is the most difficult part, when you go off-roading. There are so many things out there that can damage your truck. Between the rocks, mud, and trees, we have to be very careful.

We are shopping for a new bumper and roof rack for our Jeep, but finding exactly what we want is not always so easy. That is why it is important to shop around until you find what you want. I have found that Body Armor has some really good stuff that is easy to install. Installation is very important, because if you have to make a lot of modifications to install a bumper, then it might not be worth the effort. I don’t want to have to make modifications just to install a bumper.

For our roof rack, we want to have lights on it, without having to fabricate the mounts for it. It makes it much easier if they come with it. There have been times when we got a late start out to where we like to camp and having lights on the roof rack will help us set up a lot easier in the dark. I know that setting up a tent in the dark is not fun. If you are looking for after market parts for your 4×4, then you should try reading about Body Armor. You will like what you see and may find exactly what you need too. Have a great day.

Found another one

Oh I absolutely love this! I have found another site to get parts for the Jeep. My honey is going to be over the moon. We have done so much work on it and still have so much more to go. You can see Smittybilt Reviews here, and judge for yourself. We have been looking for the winch for the front end and roll bars for the inside. I am confident that when he gets home, he will be happy that I have found this site, because they have a lot of the stuff he is looking for.

The neoprene seat covers are nice, but the seat covers with all the pockets on the back are just amazing. We could fit a lot of the little stuff we need to take with us on camping trips in that. I could put the first aid kit, Mosquito repellent, sunblock, and much, much more in there. There is also a tailgate cover that also has storage pockets in it. Tools, fix a flat, and other repair kits could be stored in those as well. The over head console with hydration pack is really interesting. If we were stuck, we wouldn’t have to worry about not having water with us.

I am really encouraged by what I have seen on this site, as we like to take off to very remote areas and need a lot of supplies, with little room to do so. The merchandise I like will come in handy on just about every trip we take in the Jeep. I think I am going to show this to my honey and then make sure that some of it is bought for his Christmas presents, by myself and various family members who have already been asking what to get him. Now I will have a list to give them.

Parts for Jeeps

My boyfriend has a Jeep that we use for off roading. He is very proud of this Jeep and keeps it in pristine condition. Finding after market parts for it used to be a problem, until he found Kentrol truck parts manufacturer. They have all of the stuff he could ever want to fix up his Jeep. Warrior Reviews can tell you all about Kentrol and what they do. We have bought a lot of parts through them and have plans to buy much more in the future.

They have stainless steel accessories that we really want to use on the Jeep, from bug sheilds, bumper, door and hood accessories to grill guards. I have never seen so many parts that could be used on his truck. One of the most recent things we put on the truck, was a Safari Sports Rack. Since we love to camp, we can load all of the camping equipment up on top and not have to worry about space. That is a major plus when you have kids and it’s a family camping trip. We always need a LOT of stuff to go camping. Now it’s not a problem anymore.

My man was reading about some of their stuff on Warrior Reviews and found that they have body armor for his truck. Now, he wants to put stainless body armor on the truck as well. I think it would look amazing like that, but I am not sure about it all being stainless. I am sure he knows what he is doing and it is his truck after all. He has really good taste too, so it’s all good. My oldest son is enjoying helping him fix the truck up. He makes sure to have my son there, and spend that time together. My son is now a serious Jeep enthusiast.
