Count on it. I'm planning on buying the replacement winch control module after I pay you off. Then I'll install it once and be done with it.

I'm considering the wireless control system as well. Do you think it's worth it?

Yeah wireless would be sweet, as far as waiting you know that it's pretty easy to get to those solenoids on top. I myself would put her in now and you never know when you might need it!!

So who was it that was talking about the Black Hills run at the end of July? I thought they said there was a thread on here for it, but I can't find it.

I went with the TF kit that included springs and shock because I heard the rubi has better springs and shocks to begin with so its not that important on the Rubi.

When I bought my kit there weren't any options that included better shocks like there are now. If there were I would have definitely gone for the bilstien shocks.

With my kit and a 1" body lift my 35's (non Kevlar mtr's) would rub on my fenders but only on the most flexy spots on the trail. Just enough to let you know they are there but not do any damage. Running with my sway bar disconnected I have torn the boot on my drive shaft twice. Again that was only in the most twisty stuff. Luckily the dealer replaced it under warrenty both times.

Bottm line yes you can get by just fine with the BB and 35's and wheel spacers.
