Check out my grocery getter
 
Well, I got several more mods accomplished on my JK this week.
  1. ARB Bull Bar
  2. ARB Rock Rails
  3. Warn 9.5ti
  4. OME HD 2Dr Front Springs
Note: Contrary to the title of my post, I won't be running around town with my Hi-Lift bolted to the bumper, but I thought it was suitable for a few poser shots.

The reputation for ARB build quality is all you've heard and then some. Exceptional heft and construction, and the style integrates perfectly with the OEM flares. The winch is fast and powerful and with the addition of the Old Man Emu springs, I've got 40" from ground to fender on all four corners.

I'm satisfied with the results thus far. Adjustable track bars are next, then a CB, locking storage... and MOAB in October.

Lemme know what you think gang...

Lookin Good:thumbsup:

I would put the hi-lift on the top tabs on the bullbar so later you can put lights there in the future. That what I plan to do in the near future.

How do you like your ARB rock rails so far?

Thanks!

Top mounting the jack would sure work, but personally I like the aesthetic of the Hi-Lift a little lower on the bar and I have no plans to run auxi lighting other than the Mopar fog lights I bought and installed in the bull bar.

I'm very happy with the ARB rails. Stout as hell, but not terribly obtrusive or likely to get your pant leg dirty geting in/out of the Jeep.

Looks nice, what front skid are you using.

Nice looking Jeep. Having my Hi-Lift mounted on the hood, I just leave it there. And I was literally just finished buying groceries at the base commissary, and had stopped at the base gas station to fill up. The lady in the lane next to me (a nice, new ZO6, BTW) comes over and asks, "Is that a gun up there on your hood?" True story. :rotflmao2:

Thank you.

That bar across the front electric disco motor is from the factory. Perhaps they made a change for '08? Not sure (can someone comment?). I doesn't offer complete coverage for the motor, but the disco setup would be totally exposed w/o it.

That is pretty damn funny, Mark. :yup:

I actually did go to Wal-Mart for groceries yesterday. It felt a bit overkill, lol, but whateva, we love our Jeeps, right?

Thanks for the compliment.
