The "Wilhelmina Johnson" or "Wilma" for short - Slow Go JKU Build & Photo Thread...

[bonedaddy]

Our Trek to NC for the End of Summer Uwharrie Run!!! Had a freekin' Blast!!!

Of course we stopped at every state sign we could find...





Something we passed on the way up...











Me and Red (a.k.a. My beautiful Wife Jamie)







Just one of many awesome peeps I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging with thanks to WAL... Looking forward to doing it again soon my friend!

I'm not going to lie, those rocks looked a lot bigger from the drivers seat... it was our first time actually driving over anything larger than a speed bump seeing we live in Flat-ville USA (a.k.a. Florida) I loosened up after that...

Loving the pics man! Glad you guys were able to make it! You guys should make the trip up to Windrock in October! :yup:

Finally some updates to this build list...

Here is the photo I finally remembered to take of the G.E.A.R. set up on the tailgate my wifey bought my last year for xmas, always use it but never remember to take a photo of it...





Oh and yes the Addition to the 35's on Stock Wheels club... I LOVE my stock wheels and refuse to give them up!



As of now it sit's with the RK 1.75" Leveling Kit, 1.5" Spacers on BFG KM2's... My P-Lot poser shot's for now, went wheeling on a night run with the set up and it didn't do too bad with the stock fenders, minor rubbing - more than I wanted, but not as much rubbing as I expected so that was good... trying to muster up the gonads to cut the fenders...



Stay Tuned - More To Come!

Thanks for following...

Looking good. But ur windshield banner still doesn't match.

Neither does mine.

 

[OscarMike2.0]

Wow those 35s look great with those stock wheels!

 

[MR.Ty]

The new wheels look great!

I love that color. If I was ever in the market for some 17 inch wheels I would try to find some of the Willy's one first they look awesome. Looking forward to see what you do next. That's gonna be one sexy jeep.

 

[Scrambler]

Looks good bud. Did you get the CB issue figured out?

 

[LetsGoMuddin]

The Jeep is looking great so far! I really like those floor mats with the tire tread marks!

 

[bonedaddy]

Thanks guys the props mean a lot...

Sup Chris - yeah i actually have a working CB in the rig! Problem was the actual CB its swlf was bad, swapped it out and everything checked out fine... Didn't have to mess with anything else, used it on Sat night on a run, worked great! Hopefully it is still working by Winrock ...

Good looking Jeep! I really like that color.

 

[bonedaddy]

SB "Rock Guards" (which is such BS seeing they flex like a mofo if you hit them on anything) just a temp fix to help the fam get in and out of the Jeep...

Went out to Croom WMA - Breaking in the 35's with the leveling kit, a little bit of rub, but way less than expected - very impressed!








My partners in crime...



Mike (a.k.a. Hedonist) and his fam joined us...

My latest mod - thanks to the road construction on the Veterans Expressway ... About dime/nickle size, its a good one...

 

[bonedaddy]

To think i had so many build photos I have been putting off to add to this thread, just couldn't find the time... and this has to be the last one...


We had a great Fathers Day, she had a great run ... family and friends had a blast ...


















and within 24hr, this happened...









and this is all i have left of her...











learned a valuable lesson that day in insurance - make sure you have replacement coverage and not just fair market value and add rental to your policy - a few $$$ a month is nothing compared to paying $200-$400 a week out of pocket for a rental while your insurance company drags it ass... trust me, I learned the hard way...

 

[WJCO]

That really bad sucks man. I hope another build will follow.

So sad brother. Spending as much time with our rigs as we do, they aren't just a mode of transportation. They are our hobbies and interests.

I look forward to seeing your next rig.
