Over the last 3 years here I have asked a lot of questions during my build from a bone stock 01 tracker to a tracker with armor,2 engines,  a 4.5" lift an ARB LOCKER, Surf rack, tow hitch, winch bumper, led lights, rock sliders, all kinds of self rescue stuff, set up for overlanding with a trailer and roof top tent, solar panel, AGM battery,50qt Engel fridge/freezer. so at this point your probably thinking bla bla bla. but what I want everyone to know is without people like-Fordem , BRD HNTR , nprecon , beagle , ebewly and many others here this would not be possible. and although I always said thank you I wanted to write this to know because of you guys I have had a great time for the last 3 years and I feel you need to know how much I appreciated your help, this came at a time when an injury as a firefighter forced me off motorcycles to make it to retirement. well in less than a year I will retire and I have something I enjoy very much. So when you guys answer the same questions over and over for when newbies like me start know even now it is much appreciated and why when I get a chance to pass on something you taught me I try too  THANKS AGAIN I have had over 60000 miles of fun since I started and on my fourth set of tires

You are very kind.  Thank you as well!  Its all good.

well thank you captwoody, if I recall when I started my build on hear there wasn't many 2 gen. Now they are becoming more popular as 1 gen are rusting out. That's the nice thing about this forum we give advice best to our knowledge as you have gave me, with questions I ask, even though we may never meet everyone on here its nice too be able to call everyone friends

    thanks  beagle

Thanks for summation Fordem.  Because it can not be expressed any better.

All I know is without you guys I probably would have given up and missed out on a whole lot of great adventure's in out beautiful southwest desert 

Of course you could also look at it as you got the sickness from us, spent a ton of money and was almost in the dog house for awhile because of it too!

Well its true I have made the dog house a time or 2 but ever since my brother in law spent $45000 on a jeep rubicon to keep up with me and then chickened out on some canyons cause he might scratch it. She instantly became more understanding. plus she has seen it makes me happy I am lucky I got a keeper.

ya with what you went through with your build ...she is a keeper. just like mine, she says to me why do you want another zuki..... I say that someone said (BRD HNTR) if I get bored I could do this to my tracker and the madness never ended. My wife is very understanding, just like yours. and fordem is right with his submission. We all learn from everyone, its just having the guts too try it
