Thanks, I'm adopted now

[Sallypulaski]

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out.

I bought an '02 project- and this forum has been an incredible resource.

If I could pick an adoptive dad- it may be Chris, mrblaine, or Jerry Bransford.

Any time I need guidance on a next step for any assembly/mod- I have gotten solid info- to the point after a quick search. Thanks all for breaking down what may seem to be a 'dumb*ss' question for all of us.

(Looking at you, Chris- for the rear shock bolt specs, mrblaine for my new rear disc brakes, and Jerry for everything else. My auto swap will be easier for all the info you have posted.)

Welcome to the forum! Good luck with your Jeep build.

Pay attention to the details, read old threads, and ask away questions as necessary. Also read old build threads, many good ones here (started by @jjvw, @Irun, @toximus ... the list goes on).

If you have questions, there are very knowledgeable people here to help out if you need it.

I have been on this forum for a solid* year, just trying to figure out what I even want. This is Jeep #5 for me- 67 J2000- 68 J2500- 2013 JKU- 2010 grand caravan- and the 02 TJ.

It's been an amazing, giant dirty puzzle with mystery missing parts. But it has 100% solidified the old adage- I don't know what I don't know. I have made so many assembly decisions from trusting experience of others/preference-

My lift choice so far has been OME springs + rancho RS shocks + zone pucks. The goal for this Ikea jeep is to drive and enjoy the assembly.

We'll get the papers prepared to make @mrblaine your new dad. He's going to be thrilled!

I thought we talked about this already and you were supposed to stop trying to get me to adopt relatives so you get more free stuff?

You should have said no after my uncle moved in.

Moving in can be undone, adoptions are permanent. That fucker drank all the milk and he was gone.

Not entirely, he is lactose intolerant.

Nope. Not even a little. The caravan has shockingly similar parts as the jku
