Welcome back! look forward to meeting you on a run.

Howdy folks. I’ve been signed up as a Club member for almost a year, but then got too busy to go on any trips. I’m going to trying to make a few in 2024 and introduce myself. Long-time overlander from Flagstaff here.

Some 92 year old dude just completed the Rim to Rim hike at the Grand Canyon. I can barely make it up the stairs! 😫 https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/alfredo-aliaga-guinness-world-record-grand-canyon-hike?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A Trending Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR0XOzIgkXPQ00homWXjQBOmidn7rYKEfGIJ_xNlr-xblNosc2uGTvrku64_aem_AeiQWfrJ_6b7MM_W2_e4dsA1byjEYUxkKLzX8LNV-8ZM60VnXyW2oX_AwC-U-yC-4Qo

These do not fit the EcoDiesel or 392. The rear fit my EcoDiesel no problem but the front does not. After going back and forth with Hooke Road, they just refunded my money but told me to keep them. So I figure I'll put them up for free here to see if anyone can use them. I run their fenders and rear liners and I think they are decent quality for the price.

I've been an avid off-roader and Jeep enthusiast since I was a kid. My dad was the plant manager of the Bramalea Jeep Plant in Canada before it shut down in 1992 so I spent a lot of my youth going there and being part of every stage of assembly of Wranglers. I've owned 12 Wranglers to date. I seem to have as much fun building them as I do wheeling them. My last Jeep was a 2013 JKU, "Rhino", that had a custom coil-over I built on 1 tons with 40" tires. There wasn't much left stock on that Jeep when I finished it. I did all the work in my garage and built all my own bracketry with a CNC plasma table. I sold it a few years ago and have been out of a Jeep since. I had been waiting patiently for exactly what I wanted and that became a reality in December 2023 when I picked up a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport EcoDiesel "Black Rhino". The blend of two of my favorite things, Jeeps and Diesels and continuing my obsession with Rhinoceros. lol. I did promise the wife that this build wouldn't be as crazy as a lot of our previous builds. I want this to not only be incredibly capable but also I want everything to look as though it came from the factory. In the less than 30 days since owning it I've gotten quite the jump on all it's modifications with still a ways to go before I'm ready to take it off road. Need to protect all the crazy expensive emissions equipment from damage. I was one of the original AZVJC members back in 1998 and led runs almost every weekend around Arizona. My family loves the Jeeps as well and is very excited to get back on some trails. We look forward to meeting members here. Here it was December 14th, the day I brought it home. Here it is as of this past weekend and so much more on the way. I'll be doing the lift later this month after we get back from vacation. So far it's been mostly electronics and just making room for the 37's.

I know this is an old post but didn't see any follow up. Still have it?

Hey Guys, put us down for a pasta salad and the trial ride. Looking forward to it!

uhhh Cadillac. Love it. I like the new accessories too. Especially that table that attaches to the tail gate.

Thanks. Next phase is the Metalcloak Overland 3.5" with some extras that is being delivered this week.

We can bring a pasta salad

I'm a complete noob when it comes to a lot of the stuff related to modifying a Jeep. I was amazed at how simple it was to install a new stubby bumper, solo, with just some hand tools. Went with a GoRhino Rockline Stubby bumper due to the really low, but protected lighting option. I also love the look and how much it opens up the wheel wells. While we were at it, installed a Quadratec Q-Series Stealth winch, a 10k model, with synthetic rope and a Factor55 thimble for a closed system set up. The lighting I was able to carry over from my 2015 Cherokee KL Trailhawk - a pair of Rigid lights in Amber and my fogs. That push-button sway-bar disconnect motor is awfully exposed - I'm really glad I pick up a skid plate for it! side profile Test fitting everything before mating it up.
