I decided to start this thread as a place for me to keep track of my progress on my Jeep build. I really do not anticipate too many comments (it's a fairly boring build). Constructive comments/suggestions are welcome.
Username: gorillamel
Year: 2008
Make: Jeep
Model: Wrangler
Trim: Rubicon (2-door)
Color: Forest Green
Mileage: 77,147 (when purchased Mar 2014)

Sold the Xterra to pay off car loan for a car I bought for my parents.
Then realized the 2013 Fiat 500 S did not properly suit my lifestyle. Therefore, I traded it in for this:
This was the first manual transmission I have ever owned, which means driving it can certainly be full of laughs and grinding gears.
I made it into my work parking garage all on my own!
I do not plan to do any heavy wheeling with this rig until I learn to comfortably drive it, hahaha. -->Note: since I took it to Moab May 2014, I think I can now say that I have learned to drive it, hahaha!
