Welcome to my all new sight completely dedicated to my passion...Jeeps :)
This Web site features three vehicles (so far). My 1993 Wrangler (Christene), my 1979 CJ-5 (Grumpy), and my most recent purchase a 2001 TJ (GrumpyIII). There will be write ups on different locals, based on where we venture. I soon hope to be joining the Orlando Jeep Club of Florida so keep an eye out for some new terrain!! Also any modifications that have been done will be detailed and hopefully (if all goes well) photographed for you to easily follow along and do the same if you wish.
Grumpy III Update!!
Grumpy III recently underwent a face lift. For photos check out the what's new section. I also very recently flush mounted his tail lights. The full write up is in on these and the Herculiner has arrived!! Also the new 6 point full cage is complete, check out the mods II page for pics...

A little about my obsession...
This may be hard to believe, but I wasn't always a Jeep guy. I was in the service in 1998 and was in the market to get rid of my Subaru Justy. So I went to the local rip off lot (also known as a used car dealership) and test drove a few vehicles. Of the ones I drove I was really leaning towards an Eagle Talon, but the red Jeep in the corner was really catching my eye. So I test drove the sucker, and realized that the gears didn't mesh quite right, the hard top leaked and the ride was all squirley. I drove the Talon again and went home satisfied that I had made up my mind. I called my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) and told her I really liked the Talon but for some reason I kept thinking about the Jeep. She said I should get it if it was on my mind so much. So I did. And so it began, with the wrenching and learning how to change oil, and what a serpentine belt was. I got a big stereo, and an amp (please don't look away, there's a moral to the story), and tinted it out and TOOK IT OFF-ROAD. It wouldn't go anywhere. But I didn't care I went anyway. More and more often, till the tranny that didn't like life to begin with decided it really didn't, and so it was rebuilt. The stereo, amp and the box were all stolen out of it at the place where the tranny was getting fixed, and finally somewhere down the road the exhaust fell off!!!! By the way did I tell you that it was 1998 and it was a 1993 and I paid 17,000 for it!! No comment.
