Default Stupid noob! (refering to myself)

First, I dont even have an XJ. But, I plan on buying one in a couple months. I get on here and start reading. I see Rustys has Christmas deals and order the complete 4.5 kit with the DC2's. Then a week later I read one of the build threads and a guy asks the guy what his plan is...uh oh. I realize I dont have a plan. And even now, my plan is fuzzy at best. I dont want to waste money on bits and peices I dont need just because I can kinda afford them and they are cool. This is my plan, do a little of everything well with an emphasis on mud/snow. So if thats my plan, I could/should have got a budget 2.5 lift and LOCKERS! *Lunchbox* So, lesson one learned. Have a plan. I blame all of you for letting me to this.

Where are you? I have a friend that just left Ramudi not too long ago. Or is it Rumadi? I never remember.

And another dear friend who should be landing on American soil this week, after his 2nd tour in Afgh.




But really... hurry up and get an XJ. You're missing out.

Well, stay safe What's your ride over there? A Humvee? I can see why you're wanting an XJ...you're being teased with that Jeep impersonator :P

Im a Pathfinder and Door Gunner, so Im very rarely in any kind of tactical vechile, other than a M model Blackhawk. Aside from perimiter patrols in M1114's Ive been outside the wire maybe 20 times in HMMWV's and this is my 3rd deployment in 8 years...The 114's are beasts though, I had one that we removed the majority of the armor on due to some damage. DAM was it fast. Rode like lowrider on busted bags though. We have 3 NTV's for cruising around in though. 2 Explorers and a hillbilly armored surbaban that is very well ventilated. I know there has been talks of adopting the new Wrangler for some situations, but im yet to see one.

Hi. I love you.


I don't know what you just said, really, but it's fun to read. I'm marching my fingers over to Google right now...

Lol. Ok then. Let me re-phrase. Yup I drive HMMWV's (Hummers) but its rare because I usually fly around in a helicopter. I only drive Non Tactical Vechiles (NTV's) around base. Thanks for the love, I guess. PS. I just noticed you live in the Great White North. You are so lucky!
