How's it goin everybody. My name is Paolo and I live in Florence, AZ. Been a Jeep fan for a while now. Can't get enough of them(you'll see why). When I was in high school my parents bought me a 05 Jeep Liberty 4X4 Limited, it was a great starter Jeep. Never did anything crazy to it, just a 2" lift, bigger tires, lights on the roof, and a sound system. Loved it to death! Had that for about 4 1/2 years and decided to part with it. Pictures of the Liberty (can't find any pictures of it when it was stock)
A couple years after I sold the liberty, I decided to get back into Jeeps again! In August 2010 I bought my first Wrangler. It was a 2001 TJ Sport. Only had a 2" spacer lift and 15X10 rims. Of course that didn't sit well with me, so I had to mess with it!
Back when I bought it Aug 2010

Then I had the opportunity to upgrade to a Lj. So why not, sold the TJ and bought the LJ! The TJ was purchased from a guy in New York, so he had a truck pick it up.
Bye bye TJ
I also bought the LJ from out of state, Oklahoma. And had it shipped down as well. It already had a 6" Rough Country lift, 35" Pitbull Rockers, SYE, a old currie winch bumper, a old warn winch, and a bumper/tire carrier.
And of course it wast gonna stop there. I put 4.56 gears, lockers, diff covers, new bumper, new winch, the list goes on.
Then........ I decided to get a Jku. So I sold the LJ and bought a 08 Jku Rubicon.

After
I loved the JKU like crazy! Couldn't of been happier! But unfortunately I had to let it go, it wasn't what I wanted to do, but I had to... My job wasn't working out too good, ended up doing what I had to do and sell it. Paid my wife's car off, bills, etc. Ended up only having the mortgage to pay which is sweet. But a couple months later things turned around at my work and starting making money again! If I could've just held on to that JKU for a couple more months.... Damn! So I came across a older guy that had a 04 Lj that he wanted to trade me for my truck. Only had 44,000 miles on it and it was bone stock. Long story short. Traded the guy, fixed it up, a buddy of mine gave me a offer I couldn't refuse, sold it.
Before
After
Then I picked up a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4 with a 5.2 V8. Has a 176,000 miles on it. I paid $3,000 for it. The guy had just put a 4inch Rough Country Lift, 33X12.50 Tires, and Cragar wheels.
Then we decided to move across country from Arizona to Pennsylvania so I had to sell the ZJ. When we moved we were in PA for about a year and then moved back to AZ. Went a whole year without a Jeep! That was tough! So the first month we moved back I bought a LJ.
Didn't have that for not even a month before I decided to sell it and buy another JKU.
Another Jeep I loved. Had it for about a year before I had to sell it because I couldn't afford to keep it. Sometimes life gets tough.... But you just keep moving forward!
I went another six months without until I fell in love with this beauty! My 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer!
Has 175k on it! Motor had a knock but I got the motor rebuilt. It's missing the headliner but I picked one up. Just need to get it upholstered, driver seat has a tear which is a bummer. Needs some work but I got to say, I'm very happy to have such an awesome Jeep! Also, when I picked this up, about a month later my wife and I found out that we were having our first kid! Which was the best news to me because we were trying for so long and on top of that, I just got a awesome family vehicle! Anywho, I'd thought I share a meme I made that I sent out to all my friends and family when we found out the news!
Haha, I thought it was funny, because it's true! Lol not completely true but it is going to slow down my build a bit. But things will get done! Well I'm sorry that I talked your heads off and I hope you enjoy this novel I wrote! As the Jeep progresses I will post updates! Glad to be part of this community and I hope you all have a good night!
