Yeah, right now, I'm telling myself it will be limited to wheels, tires and lift. But I've said that before.

I installed the lift on Sunday, a nice mild 2" front lift to level things out. Thanks to Eric for the extra set of hands, the install went well. Then Monday, my old roomie Bryan hacked my body mounts and re-welded them for more front tire clearance. I proceeded to go beat on it a bit and get it all twisted up. No rub at all, and the thing drives better than stock on the new springs. I love the way it sits now.

thats because they are jealous, a jeep is only good for one thing.... getting you one mile into the canyon so you can walk the rest of the way back...

I think a trip like that requires gifts for all members at the meet when you get back

Looks sweet man. This guy that lives near me drives a black one. Lifted about as much as yours with big tires, and a warn winch on the front.

Speaking of which, yesterday I saw a Toyota Tacoma with the badging changed to "Yo Taco".
