Sounds sweet! Make sure you have shock extension brackets. Also if you are planning on wheeling in much mud I personally think you will not be satisfied with those tires. Just my opinion. To each thier own. Also where did you get your HIDs? What did they cost?

Yah I'm getting the kit with the extensions thanks, im not planning on anything crazy offroad but who knows. I want tires that are gonna be great in snow and ice as im in Canada and I've heard nothing but great things about the Duratracs. The rubicon tires are horrible in snow/ice. I had a Sahara and the duelers where way better. I got my hids from a local aftermarket car parts place.I have 10,000k fogs and driving lights wired off of relays because they daytime runners don't run high enough voltage to properly run the lights. I think they were roughly 300 a set?

It's a switch wired to ground off of the clutch circuit. Basically I don't need to push in the clutch to start the Jeep. It's nice in the winter. You also could install a cheapo starter but you gotta be sure she ain't in gear or byebye jeep lol. Also the switch must be off or cruise won't work. There is a writeup somewhere for it.
