yea agreed on the little things. i definatly want seat covers at least cause they got wet even with the top on but then i cant decide which of those to get. actually just brought it in to get that leak hopefully fixed. I think at this point i may stick with getting a bumper/ winch just because i havnt really met anyone to go with, or found that many trails for that matter, so if im just messin around in some mud, and get stuck, id like to know i have a way out. haha im probably one of the most indecisive people ever.. maybe ill see how far i can get and then if needed get some friends to push the back if i get stuck
-thanks again for the insite

Met some really great people, and learned quite a bit. Since then I have gone out a few times more with a couple of those guys, and made some good friends. Now I know where to go and always have someone to go with me.
I hadnt thought about that, but will definatly look into it thanks.
i see you have a shrockworks bumper on order.. I was looking into this one aswell. out of curiosity what made you pull the trigger on this one? did you have others in mind?

Hey Tlow, I live just south of Lafayette, La. There are bunch of real nice and knowledgeable people in the Baton Rouge area as far as clubs go .....They have some wheelin spots as a group in Hammond and in St. Francisville

Stop in at Henderson Jeep on Airline Hwy Baton Rouge ask about Jeep Clubs....there are about 10 employees that are members of Baton Rouge Club....

I drove there to buy my Jeep ....They helped my decision on what upgrades to make FIRST and what MODS potentially could void your warranty and which CAN'T. I was very impressed with them

Upon their recommendations I put the 2'' lift (chose Rubicon Express) with monotube shocks and 33" tires first (because they had one on the showroom floor like this) and I LIKED THE LOOK; Then went with sway bar discos; then Winch Bumper but the winch will wait for a while....

I run all the hard 3's and light 4's at the SUPERLIFT ORV PARK in Hot Springs Ark. On my last visit there I followed a JK Rubicon on 35's all weekend with no worries and no help( your Jeep even in stock form is VERY CAPABLE!!!!!

Good Luck and if you are interested my group of buddies are planning to go to Hot Springs to SUPERLIFT ORV PARK some time late Nov or Dec let me know the more people involved the more fun it is ...........

Thanks for the invite HULKGREEN but i think i may have to pass just cause im probably doing stuff with the folks being holiday time, perhaps another time. But i will stop by Henderson Jeep when i get a chance, thanks for the advice.

And i like your rationalizations for the bumper choice N2rock. Im still debating though.

Anyone else had experience with this bumper or the ABR, AEV, or Warn?
thanks in advance i really appreciate all yalls help/ patience
