awesome build so far. My parents live in E. Colorado right now and it is a great place for testing your rig. I am missing CO being on the E. Coast!

Small world. My parents live right by the airport in Akron. They probably know each other haha!

 

[WKexpedition]

haha, small world indeed. I would not doubt that they know each other. Whats your last name? Ill have to see if my grandma knows your family. Mine is Venrick.

They are the Millers. If your grandma has lived there for a while she might know the previous owners Al and Oletta. They bought the house from them. I will have to let you know if I am ever home. My dad has a 94 Wrangler he drives around town!

I'll have to check with my grandma. The homestead Has been in our family for 100+ years so she def knows the town. Ha

installed the BORA wheel adapters and painted the stock rims a couple weeks ago. Decided to go up to my parents for a little sunshine, and took some quick pics!

Nice. My neighbor has the exact same color Jeep.

How are you liking the tires so far?

 

[WKexpedition]

Love my coopers. For the price I can not find anything better. My dad has the at geolanders on his ford; seemed like I had loads more traction than he did driving through the snow drifts. pretty quiet on the highway too!!

Installed new Stillen Rotors and pads and flushed the system a couple weeks ago. HUGE improvement!!

Out with the old!


And, in with the new!!






Then took it on a test run out to Akron. Awesome weekend, we Put my grandpa's '51 International in the town car show.

 

[WKexpedition]

Couple more pics of the WK, and a couple of the International!!








This is the families pride and joy. 7 years in the making, we finished it right after my grandpa passed away (really wish he could have seen it). Its a 1951 International. This truck was rusting away on a neighbors farm in Akron when we found it.
