That is awesome! Made my night. Lol.



Ps. There are a lot of really nice jeeps in this thread. Why do I never see any of them on the trails? We need a JK-Forum run. Get all these pretty jeeps dirty. :-)

Finished the install on my 3.5 rock krawler x factor yesterday. It was a huge pain in the ass but I'm very happy with the results. I had a rough country four inch that I took off, which had actually settled to about 2.5 inches, and the ride and handling is 100 times now. To be fair all four shocks were blown on the rough country but even compared to when it was new it's still a lot better ride now. If I measured correctly I'm just under 5" over stock hight, sounds like it's time for new axles and 38s

Last time I was on the trail was in Dec during the Northridge Open house. I didn't even drive my Jeep for three months this year due to my Jeep being in an accident and work obligations. I'm itching to get back on the trail.

Do you still have those?

Over the last few weeks I've made some huge improvements to my jeeps mpg's and its overall freeway manners. Tested it out today and now I can't wait for our Naches run in September.

That's the best highway gas mileage improvement any Jeep could get! A tow rig and a trailer!

Just installed The Pronghorn Overland Gear MFES C5-S. Still have to install my winch and waiting on new lights for it but I have to say so far I am very impressed. The build quality and fit are second to none, great finish, everything lined up perfectly. They have done a great job.

Looks good. never seen it before, so I had to check out the website and looked at the price..2k !!?? Looks really functional though and like that its modular.

I have added some stuff recently. Did a full metal fab front bumper, added a teraflex tire carried and evo d rings, really love the setup.

They actually just had a significant price reduction. New prices coming soon.
