Hey guys, just found your site and love it. My name's Jordan, I'm 21 born-and-raised in Oklahoma and in college, currently with no garage at all. :lol_hitti

By day I am a challenge course instructor, and hobby-wise, I've always loved working with my hands in leatherworking and woodworking, so tools, garages, workshops and such are a big interest of mine, as are history, graphic design and craftsmanship.

Carwise, until this year I didn't know much about cars except for how to fill up a gas tank, check the oil, drive to the quick lube, and ask a mechanic when funny lights would come on the dash. :headscrat But, I bought a 1980 Jeep CJ5 in March and am proud to say I have done all the mechanical work needed on it so far, (which has been quite a bit!), all by reading repair manuals and asking questions on forums. It feels good to be self-reliant, and home mechanic work has become my new favorite hobby!

I've been looking at the past entries on your blog, and am looking forward to what is yet to come.

Hey, thanks for the hellos. Cool to see other Okies here. I have a lot of state pride so I always like meeting other Oklahomans.
Yeah, jocool1585, the Jeep has been a lot of fun!

Erle385, the tires are 33"s. The jeep was already lifted with those size tires when I bought it, but I was thinking of going a little bigger with the tires. Not because I like big tires, per se, but it has such a big lift I think the 33s even look a little small in comparison. It seems a bit oddly proportioned, I mean. But I'm not sure. Maybe I'll just sell it in a year or so and get a different one that needs work and make it my own!

eborcim, here's a few pics I snapped the last couple of weeks or so.
Dash has been almost untouched:
