ABOUT ME
What's up? The name is Kyle if you didn't know, I'm 18, and just finished my time at Bedford High School. I'm currently employed at Kroger #864 as a File Clerk. I'm also involved in the Bedford Fire Rescue Explorers as Treasurer and Chief of the post. Next Fall I'm planning on going to UT (for basically free) to study Civil Engineering, with emphasis on transportation. Currently, I drive a '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee that is lifted with 2.5" OME Springs, Pro-Comp MX6 Adjustable shocks, and rides on new 30/9.5/15 General Grabber AT2 meats. When i'm not stuck at school, studying, working or any combination of the 3, I can be found doing something outside or with my friends. I love to go skiing (water and downhill), off roading, camping, fishing, paintballing, and four-wheeling, as well as wrenching on my or a friends Jeep. Even though I don't get as much free time as i'd like, I try to make the best out of what I get. I listen to just about every type of music except for a lot of rap and get along with pretty much anyone. I don't have 1000 friends, but I do have a hand full of close friends to be there whenever I need them. If you want to know anything else, comment or IM me (FireRescueDude47).

JEEP HISTORY
My 96 ZJ was purchased from a friend in
High School. He was looking to get
something newer and my dad was looking to
get a first car for me. I wanted something
pretty much like my ZJ - offroad
capability but still nice onroad features.
Yes, this means my dad bought it, but I
pay for 99% of the work done to it.

Well, I ordered my lift tonight. Just sent the paypal payment to Kolak. Just North of $650 total.
I got:
OME 2" lift springs all around to replace my stock ones with 163k
MX6 Adjustable Shocks to replace my stock ones with 163k too

Gonna put it on March 18th, day after we lift smrtjustin's XJ.

Might also get the OME Steering Stabilizer in the future if I have issues. I also ordered some tools a few days ago and a new hood release cable. Also ordering new brakes (not sure what route i'm going yet) this weekend. I'm also going to get 30" or 31" General Grabber AT2s to round off my lift in about 4-5 weeks. Then adding a CB setup and Tranny Cooler before the end of May. I'm taking it to Silver Lake and a few other places to off road in early June on my vacation.

Later in the future, I'd like to fix my rust (get POR-15 kit most likely), paint the cladding with Krylon Fusion, and perform a few other cosmetic upgrades.

Later later (like 2.5-3 years from now, unless my ZJ dies sooner), I want to buy a 99/00 XJ to replace it if I can find one with around 50-75k on the clock.

Wish me luck!

I plan on posting to both my thread (http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthre ad.php?t=526463 ) and blog when I do things other than everyday work to my ZJ....
