Jeep looks good all washed up (: found a wheeling group near me this weekend that are willing to take a rookie like me out so lets hope nothing breaks and I make it out with all my body parts! Also accidentally ordered a new fan shroud off of amazon and didn't realize it until it showed up on my doorstep so I got that installed this morning after driving around I noticed my temps dropped from 210 to 207 I imagine if I put a new t-stat in I could drop below 200

Took the Jeep wheeling on my lunch break today.... Preformed great for what this little land was. Jeep could use new shocks but not necessary at the moment and I'm too broke lol. The story behind this land is an old farmer's wife died and in her will she asked him to donate the land to the community as a park. The old man had several disputes with the local government and he left the land to his son who basically just abandoned it but the city can't claim the land because the guy "rents" the land to a friend of his just to say that somebody lives there so the city can't take it over. So there it sits about 25 acres of land that nobody has wheeled on too hard but has been cut for ATV's and such to go mess around in there.

More pictures from yesterday and finally got pictures comparing stock high beams to the Amazon Cree lightbar and for $35 bucks I got the lightbar, mounts, harness, and a Zombie Lights rocker switch so I would say it is a pretty good deal
Well guess what happened today... My f*ducking jeep got stolen. Why do people have to be thieves? Why can't you get a job and work for your own stuff. But the thing I really don't understand is that I don't live in a bad area and the jeep was parked in an even nicer area. I hope the jeep turns up soon and doesn't have any damage done to it but you never know. Luckily I played that extra 1.15 a month to get a replacement rental car if anything happens. State Farm has been really great about all of this and actually offered me to pick any rental I wanted and they had this 2016 Wrangler on the lot I wanted but unfortunately it was already reserved so I am in a little Toyota corolla s and its pretty nice for what it is. But I'm going to leave you guys with the last picture I took of the jeep. The little guy in the front is my cocker spaniel named cspan he loves the jeep rides
That totally sucks. Where did it get stolen from and might be worth putting that picture on Craigslist so people in the area know it was stolen. Sorry that happened to you. Hope you get it back soon and in 1 piece

It was stolen from Sugarcreek Ohio which isn't a bad neighbor hood at all.
I have an ad out on CL as well as the LetGo app telling people to report it. I'm hoping it doesn't have any damage and I'm hoping my Hi-lift, ARB 12-Volt compressor and my fullsize spare is still in the jeep when i get it back but luckily I didn't have my toolkit in the jeep cause then I would be really upseat Atleast I have a car to get around in for the meantime.
Dang that sucks...no matter how good a neighborhood is, there are thieves everywhere.
Yeah live and learn I guess. The jeep was all muddy and locked so I guess whoever took it has a thing for jeeps. I don't care if they drive it around until it runs out of gas (which shouldn't be long) I am just really worried that it will end up in an accident. God forbid they get into a police chase with it. Has anybody had their jeep totaled out before? If you don't mind me asking how much did the insurance give you back? That's also another fear of mine is that I won't get back enough money to buy something else to get me to work.

That really sucks, I absolutely hate thieves. Hopefully you get it back in one piece and undamaged.
Provide receipts for any and all work done, invoices for all accessories in the vehicle, etc. The more you can provide the more value they will place on the vehicle.
The insurance should cover all of that, especially state farm. They should give you fair market value when compared to like, kind and quality vehicles. Kelly blue book is a good bargaining tool when it comes to how much they will give you on a pay out.
Hopefully you don't have to go down that road, I work with state farm regularly and they are one of the best in the insurance business.
Dude that suck, hopefully they do as you said and just drive it till she runs outta gas. Check the local muddin holes, maybe it's been left abandoned somewhere there? Nice build BTW, just started reading it and it ended on this note
Thanks Lack, you are always giving good advice not just to me but I have seen you poke your head into almost every build thread on here. I really appreciate it! And funny story about a lot of my receipts... I bought most of my stuff off of CL and the lift was on before I got the jeep so I think o might be stimmied there.

That sounds like a good idea! I hope they didn't break anything when they went wheelin' I will have a friend take me out to a couple ad spots this weekend and we will see if we can find it!
