Well I was gonna add this to "what did you do to you Cherokee today " but its not mine or a XJ...

Yes yes yes I know it's a wrongler but it's a jeep and it was fun as hell adding a lift!

I spent all day yesterday putting a 4" RC lift on my buddy's JK didn't finish till midnight.

JKs are so horrible looking stock, I don't see how anyone could drive one. The giant plastic fenders are awful.

Far from home indeed! I'm from Michigan and miss the hell out of it! Probably won't see it for a few more years.

Test the flex out on that, I'm guessing, Coast Guard helicopter.

Did you guys do the mods in the hangar or just the pics? A hangar would make a sweet shop.

Are you a Coastie?

My Grandfather was in for 22 years and was the head diesel mechanic on the icebreaker "Glacier".

He retired as an E-8 and had so much memorabilia it was crazy!

Y'all be safe out there!
