Gstang reporting in!
Hello, I'm Gstang, a newbie to the whole 4x4 thing in general from Ohio.
My daily driver is a 96 2dr with a 4inch roughcountry lift and sets on 33's. Nothing real special about it, but have big plans for it including an upgrade to a straight 6 engine, exo skeleton, custom bumpers, paint and rewiring a cb antenna to configure to the normal radio.
Credit needs to go to my younger brother who is actually the one who got me into this. You see, I'm more of a Mustang man myself. (go on, I'm expecting the friendly banter
) but winter time and mustangs go together like salt and slugs. His jeep is a bone stock 87 Pioneer, which he paid 750 for and has about 200 in to get it purring like a kitten.

Thanks! I would have rather just started from scratch but my last daily driver decided to stop working on me and I was in a rush to look for a new one. Not to mention the tires and lift kit are almost brand new.
