Then sell your stock Rubi wheels and tires for $500-$600 and use the proceeds to buy a Warn M8000 winch.

Right now im thinking

OME Lift $1000-1500
35" Kevlars,Duratracs,or Nittos $1000-1200
Spidertrax $100
LoD Rear stubby w/tire carrier $1100
LoD rack and gerry can holder $400
Gears $550
Oil and Evap Skids $200
Gussets and Skid $110
Superchips $300
$4760-5260

Sell those stock rubi tires for $500 and that leaves me with another $240-740 to work with [/QUOTE]


that good money spent and for what its worth i have a manual X with 4.1 and 35s and it performs well, you just have to know its power points like any other vehicle. you might try the 4.88s and see how you like it. just another idea but most important its tour jeep do what you like
