So I never went to JMU and the only reason I found out about this site is because of Jeff. Everybody seemed cool as hell and when I first joined up Jeff was balls deep in his XJ build and I had pretty much finished with my 07 JK (it was on 35's :bootyshake: )

Well at the end of 2010 my wife and I wanted to start a family which meant...the Jeep that I had poured more blood, sweat, tears, and cussing into had to go. Between no back seat 4" lift, 35's and 12 mpg it just wasn't practical for a DD/Baby carrier. So I went on the search for something that I could fit a family into, would last a while, and fit my size (6'4" 250lbs). I also planned on having another Jeep in the near future so I wanted something I could tow with for trips to Rausch Creek Pa and the OBX. I narrowed my search down to Dodge 3/4-1 tons with a Cummins power plant. On December 30th I bought a 2007 Inferno Red Dodge 2500 STL Crew Cab with the 6.7L Cummins and the 6spd A/T. Of course Jeff was not pleased that I didn't buy from him but the deal was to go to pass up and I walked out with a vehicle with 15K less miles and a whole lot more ass.

I love this truck, IÔÇÖm averaging anywhere between 16-21.5 mpg I can fit in the driver seat and still have room for at least Anne to sit in the back seat. Plus I have a solid truck that should last me around 150K miles. There are no major plans for the truck at least till the warranty goes bye bye, and then it might get a breathing upgrade as well as some new programming to give her a little extra spunk.
Well soon after the search was on for another Jeep. I really had no idea what I wanted, but I didnÔÇÖt want the typical ÔÇ£universalÔÇØ Jeep. I was really looking into the old FSJ Cherokee Chiefs in the mid 70ÔÇÖs range. Then I was working overtime one day in Lovettsville Va. when I was informed that their old brush unit was going up for sealed bid. So for sh*ts and giggles I put in a low ball offer and forgot all about it. Then I received a phone call one night that I had the highest bid and that the unit was mine if I still wanted it.
