David, I have always thought Colorado is some pretty awesome country. What kind of jobs are there in Colorado that an Aircraft Mech. or Tech. like you and me could get???.....and if houses are cheaper I'm definitely in.

there is an Airforce base and Army base in Colorado Springs, or right outside there. Then there is a Navy base (i am pretty sure) in Denver as well.

most of the houses i was looking at were 3000+ sq ft, 4-5 bed with about 9000 sq ft of land for 200k-250k!

Hey i'm 17 and been into the wheeling thing for a whole 4 months.. if you want to wheel you better have a job. If you don't hold up and do the lift right. If your so desperate to just pay for the lift what are you going to do when you start breaking your **** on the trail?

good luck... $39.99 can get you a set of 2 inch lift shackles at auto zone..
chevy 2 inch lowering shackles give an xj 2 inches of lift..
if $39.99 is too expensive you should sell your jeep.. jeeps are NOT cheap by any means...
im just stating the obvious..

Ditto. Get a Honda, you'll be better off.

just go up with us not lifted, you'll have to bypass a few trails but you'll still have fun doing what you can and watching..
