New kid in Town
 

:urbuddy: Yo Neighbors, I'm from california and thought I'd try this forum, because of our mutual interest

I've been in forums for about 11 years and I'm interested in some of your canadian vendors and I have the MBRP JK rack and Hotroadheroes + hardtop insulation

I'd like to trade our knowledge and tales, now if you don't want my presence-just say the word and I won't bother you guys

I'm 67 yrs old, been off-roading for over 50 yrs, 23 yrs US Navy (subs) 10 yrs Federal (Ocean Engineering), some law enforcement and I've been retired 17 years

I've had IH/ Dodge/ Ford/ Jeep 4x4's, so I've had a few

Here's a couple of my '08 JK "unlimited" Rubi

I've done a HUGE amount of mods to this JK and we could share ideas !!

I like the rack you have on your hard top as i'm racking out my brain trying to design something to help me lift my top off ,as getting a buddy to help is not that easy and your top looks easier as there is something to hook onto.
Your jeep looks good

Welcome and send more pictures , we love any and all information we can get or share .
i bought an 08 rubi and am just starting to do mods to . I love that roof rack you have . Noticed you have a matching trailer . Is that a pop up tent ?
have a great one ..

Hi JB - Well jeeps is just jeeps, but tell about the Subs! Nuc or conventional? Hp? How deep? Compliment, armament etc. etc. Non-classified of course. Lol! I once worked on torpedo guidance systems and other computer systems. Rather interesting then.

I'm just running a 08 2d Sahara. It looks nice, but I'm not overly impressed with it and I have no intentions of paying for it again just to make right what should have been in the first place. Definitely no Sub for sure!

Re: New kid in Town
 

Heh Heh, morning guys-no the trailer isn't a popup, but has several configurations

It's a Tentrax cargo model and I have modified it for camping it weighs about 900 lbs loaded for camping and it's like a Corvette-quick in and quick out

It'll go anywhere the jeep will go and has, the ground clearance is 14" and the low center of gravity, makes the rollover angle greater the the jeeps !!

I've had it for almost 4 years and the pic shows my '06 Xterra OR

It has an "AIRZONE" air tent, that I use sometimes--Checkout www.tentrax.com

Morning Chasmoe-I've been retired 17 years and there's not much to tell, mainly STURGEON Class Nuclear subs, in particular the USS PARCHE (SSN 683) and the USS RICHARD RUSSELL (SSN 687)

They were very modified fast attack subs used for underwater warfare studies/development (Ocean Engineering) and as important as it was (secret), most of the developments since then 80's/90's have been forshadowed by the SEAWOLF CLASS subs, you know technological advancements !!

Good Day
