    It's the second of March and my bi-monthly jeep budget is already gone. Got lucky and found a completely stock and running F-134 for $350, pair of Waggy offset 44's for $200, and the evil eye from the wife. Who reminded me on how I said this was a longer term project and I won't be spending alot of money right of the bat. But two good deals...I couldn't pass them up.

    It's easier to buy it now and appologize, then ask permission first ;)

    I find it much easier to get motivated to earn some needed jeep points when the prize is already gracing the garage floor ;)

    Remember, leave no paper trail. Pay in cash and you are golden!

    <oh, and it helps to have a single buddy with room to stash your goodies for awhile too...> ;)

    I soothed the beast (just a joke), with a plan of cleaning up the chasis, drivetrain, and axles for the next couple of months. That way when I spring the cost of refurbishing the axles, fuel system, and brake system it won't be so bad.

    All be it, she is really supportive. Check out:
