March 2016 ● krustyballer16's '91

[neohic]

It is March! The seasons are changing (I hear), the snow is melting (for those of us who have it), and it's time for a new month of MJOTM (that's why we're really here, right?). This month is another one of those way overdue type members who currently has a lot on his plate. All this after a huge swap on his truck, anyhow. This one really goes without saying...

Remember That One Time?... Tell Us Your Best MJ Story ●

I don't really have a best story. But its always nice to hear people tell me that i have a nice truck. Its even better when people get in it (tire shop workers, windshield installers) and start it up and "freak" out from the rumble and noise of the little Cummins. It can even put smiles on other diesel owners when i "smoke them out". Its just something most people don't expect! 

CC is Awesome!... Why Do You Think So? ●

When i first got my MJ the site was a GREAT source of information and now its helping me grow my "business" as I'm selling hitches, sliders and bumpers on the site! 

 

 

Oh, Brandon... there are so many of us around here who dream of a diesel MJ and you just went and made one for yourself. Very cool to watch your progress and see the production of all the custom parts! Congratulations and good luck with your future endeavors in fabrication. Here's to you!

I'm not a diesel lover, but if I were, your install is exactly what I would want. High quality work mate.   :cheers:
