I'm Back Into A Jeep

[terraj]

After moving from Arizona up to New York and then selling my beloved Jeep up here and regretting it over and over I have finally reaquired a TJ that will be for build up and offroad purposes only. I've been wheeling up here pretty regularly in my 99 Dodge 2500 Diesel that will be retired now from the offroad life and lowered a bit to become a tow vehicle. It was a monster offroad but too expensive when things broke. I just purchased a 2000 TJ SE, yeah yeah I know but first thing in the works is putting my LS1 that I acquired last summer into it for some seriously needed power. Just wanted to say hey, I'm back and I'll be around in here from time to time. Still fabricating like crazy just back to Jeeps now.

Wow, now if that is not a voice from the past... :eek: I remember buying the nerf bars I first had on my Jeep from you... man was that a long time ago... :D

How are things going in NY? :cool:

Never heard of anyone moving FROM Arizona TO New York :eek:

I thought it was the other way around.......

Seems like everyone is moving here. Us natives are getting scarce :(

Well hopefully I'll be on my way back in the next couple years. It definitely wasn't my choice to leave Arizona and come back up here. It was a deal I made with my wife at the time, so we moved back up here and then got divorced. I should have moved back down right away but my mom passed away shortly after my divorce so I stayed to help my dad out. Since then though I moved closer to my dad, met someone new and got remarried this past May. She's very open to the idea of moving to Arizona so that's a good thing. I'm just sticking it out a while longer for my family and then well make a move.

.... It was a deal I made with my wife at the time, so we moved back up here and then got divorced. ....

I wonder if I could make some sort of deal like that with my wife. She has really been pissing me off lately . Maybe I could just get her to move out of state and I could stay here. ;) :D
(Well, if things work out for me on Friday I may be moving anyway, at least for the week days).

Back on topic: Pete Wirch what a freakin blast from the past. Man I used to think your TJ was so bad. By the time I sold mine, that you helped me put the body lift on, it was just about as big. I did say 'just about', that was a nice Jeep you had. I am sure your new one will be better, some how.

Good to hear from you. Keep in touch...

Hey Pete.....was just askin' Billy A about you a few months ago....glad to here things are goin' ok......you built the bumper/carrier for my CJ back in '99 I think it was.....other than the carrier falling off that time :D , it held up great til I sold the CJ a couple of years ago......now I can't get billy off his back side to make one for my XJ (are you listening, Bill????).......

Yeah Bill where are you? I never see you online anymore. I got hooked up with the Nickel City Jeepers, a local Jeep club here and they are in dire need of people with Fab skills so there are two of us here that are doing work pretty much non stop outside our regular jobs. I've also been doing stuff for full size trucks. I'm running a Kelderman Air ride with four link rear in my Dodge Diesel which is going to be my tow vehicle. I could sure use some of Bills ideas though about things. I'm staying away from the swing out tire carriers now and building the stinger type carrier from Spyder Customs. It's working out pretty sweet. I'll get pics of it all done and put them up on my web site hopefully soon.
