Another wave from Phoenix

Hello!

Most people in Phoenix seem to have given up waving cause there are so many Jeeps here! :eek: It really is a great place to live for access to trails. I'm a Phoenix native, grew up driving a CJ5 in the AZ mountains.

My 2015 JKUHR is nearly stock. Swapped to MCE fenders to run 285/70r17C Trail Grapplers with Spydertrax spacers and no lift. Planning an epic build... Will I have the balls to drop the cash?? Stay tuned...

Nice to meet you all.

Ben

My yellow Willys was traded for the JKUHR.

Welcome to WayaLife from northern Scottsdale !!! You found a great forum for information on those future mods. I too, grew up in AZ driving a CJ-5 in the desert and mountains around Payson. Good luck on wave-backs... I get about 1 out of 6 on a good day, never a soccer mom stocker, just a few of the ones that look like they put a couple of mods into it...! Hope to see you out on the trail!

Haha. You should have seen what I did to the yellow 2-dr Willys. I stripped out all the plastic, carpet and rollbar padding to make it look as close as possible to my dad's yellow CJ-5. Then I wheeled it through the mud...

But yes, it was a little crazy to go doorless through the mud with my JKUHR. I got it clean... ish. But it took a LOT of work.

Great memories. I was in the Payson area a lot, and my parents live there now. Here's a pic from about 1991. I'm in the facemask... It was cold but awesome. We were chained up driving a rocky road in a foot of fresh snow.

Thanks man, I've always liked the MCE flares but she's been unconvinced on going with flat fenders. I was going to just cut the stock ones but she wasn't having a bar of it! Now she can see what it looks like I'm golden!

Here's mine
