Default Aussie living in Colorado USA

Hey there everyone,

Thought I would introduce myself and say hi, and see what everyone is up to in the Jeeping world of Oz.

I'm an Aussie, migrated to the US 4 years ago and living in Colorado. Love everything to do with Jeep wheeling, camping in remote locations, exploring new trails and have a JK Rubicon Unlimited.

Here's my little stocker, before I started with the mods.

Cool....I'm in the Rockys, takes me about 1.5 hours to Littleton. Been there quite a few times. I'm originally from Adelaide, but don't hold that against me....

As for my baby, it's in California being modded. Should be finished in about 3 weeks, I hope.

I hope it's not being modded by the boys from " PIMP MY RIDE", you will end up with a spa in the back and 15 TV's

The rubi ??? what can I say, do you have all night ? I'll have to start a build thread with photos, just too much to cover here, but here is a quick list:

Katzkin interior.
Dynatrac Pro Rock 60's, front and back, full float, chromoly axles, 8 Stud, J8 brakes, ARB lockers.
EVO front and rear double throwdowns.
EVO front bumper and stinger.
EVO body armor and fenders.
EVO Tire Carrier.
EVO Skins.
EVO Long Arm.
EVO Rock Sliders
LoD Rear Bumper.
Warn 9.5 CTI.
Rigid 50" Light Bar.
Rigid 20" Stinger Light Bar.
Rigid Dually D2 Windshield Lights.
Currie AntiRock Sway Bar.
6.4 VVT Hemi.
Atlas 4 speed.
LiteDot's.
Truck-Lite LED Headlights.
TMD Hood.
Rock Hard Roll Cage.
PSC Ram Assist.
Walker Evans Beadlocks.
Toyo MT's 40 x 15.5 x 20
Custom On Board Air.
Custom camera / video system, front, rear and sides.

As for moving to Colorado, between shoveling snow, icy roads, when it hits -34C everyone says it's a bit cold, and only 3 snow-free months per year.....no regrets....
But seriously, the scenery is awesome. And I get to spend some winter months down south in SoCal, AZ, TX so I do get heaps more summer time than just Colorado. Here are some photos.

Mama and baby moose in my front yard.
