    Howdy. Just wanted to introduce myself briefly :) I've been a Jeeper for some time since the KJ first came out, and a bunch of us decided to take this family-friendly (if a little porky) vehicle to the limit and see what we could do with it. We had friends fabricating lift kits, weld up slide rails, fab'd rear bumpers, awesome roof rails, etc. We became L.O.S.T., a non-denominational club in Orange County and we had a blast introducing newbies to the joys of off-roading. We'd take trips to Death Valley, Big Bear, Panamint, Hungry Valley, Anza-Borrego, ... and several of us would make the trek to Moab.

    Along the way, we got older. The family grew larger. The kids grew bigger. What once fit inside a little Jeep ... well, doesn't quite fit any more. We needed a truck, and we need it NOW!

    So here we are :)

    Thanks guys. I see a lot of people from our own haunting ground :)

    I do miss the relatively quick change of scenery from mountains in the morning and deserts in the afternoon ... boy ... sure don't miss the socal traffic though.
