Hi there!

Thought I would make an introduction. I'm new to the forum, but not new to forums. I've always loved Jeeps and purchased my first one back in 2005. Heres the pic:



Loved this Jeep. 2000 WJwith the I6. I lived in Colorado at the time. I rocked it as my DD and played in the mountains. It was a lot of fun. My wife and I decided to go back to school and took it with us to Idaho. It worked great in all the snow, especially in part time. It was a sad day when we decided to sell it. After our first year of school we needed to downsize the number of cars we had. Nearly cried handing over the keys. Spent the rest of the day pissed off.

Fast forward several years and my wife and I needed another car. Decided on a Jeep again. Wanted a WJ, but they were way out of our price range. The WK wasn't... I know, strange right?









Love this shot!




Its a 2005 WK with the 3.7 V6. Got it for utility, not for 4X4. Its turned into my wifes DD. We both love it. Great car for us.

As it sits we need to do some suspension work to it. Its got 145K on it and has the original struts... I'm not happy about this as it has effected how the car sits. The rear end sags and I believe the rear passenger spring is on its way out. I get no support from it and it sags worse then the driver side. I'm in the process of replacing the dampeners, springs, and a hand full of bushings/stops. From what I gather the best move for this is the SRT springs. I'm looking to purchase some at the moment.

All that brings me here! Like the site, knowledge, and what I see. I have been working on my own cars for 10+ years. Everything from major engine work to simple brake replacements. I do it all.
