JPTwinz I love your Jeep but how in the hell do you get into that thing. That is probably 10 or so inches above stock with your lift and tire combo. But it is sexy!

lol....getting in the driver's side is easy when you put your right foot in then grab the steering wheel and kind of jump up. It's the other 3 seating positions that people complain about. We went to lunch in it one day with some co-workers and after the fight over who gets shotgun was over, one of the guys in the backset couldn't get in. He had to switch positions with the front passenger so he could use the dash grab bar to help himself up. I need to get some of those roll bar grab handles. A few of us Arizona JKers are going on a trail run the 19th so I'll have some pics of it in action next to the crew.

I started with a Bulldog stubby winch bumper but wanted some sort of prerunner/stinger bar so I ended up with the Smittybilt XRC winch bumper. I'm really happy with it as the construction is solid. Plus for the money, I think I'm getting what all the other bumpers out there offer but with extra cash in my pocket for other goodies. After I sold the Bulldog bumper I had to go bumperless for a while until the Smittybilt came in.
For anyone interested, here's the build-up of my Jeep so far. It'll maybe give some Jeepers wanting 40's an idea of what they need suspension wise....https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/my-new-40-tires-waiting-wheels-74508/.
