I'm still a big fan of the Rigid LEDs...

I don't see a need for the 50" myself, but it would be a lot of fun if you had enough use for it to justify!

Would like to get the final pieces together for a 2.5" lift, have had all 8 CA in the garage for 6 months
wheels and tires
Truss for front/rear axle
Stronger axles, not sure which ones yet but will figure it out when I get there
replace the front bumper I just smashed wheeling today
Trek Armor seat covers

and wheel as much as possible

Good luck to all completing their list
If its an Ace product they replace off road damages for free, according to their website and in phone conversation...

How did you wreck it? Pictures?

I've always wondered if this stuff is as strong as it seems to be.

Interesting, i have both items...

what size tires are you going to be spinning with 5:13?

i have it setup with 37'ls, I love the 5:13, but could easily run 4:88's

i top out on the highway at around 85, not that you really should be going over 80 with 37's and a 4" lift.

Running 35's, what locker and gears did you go with? Everything I have read wants me to go with 5.13 instead of 4.88 in case I go up on tire size. I put in cold air intake, Bullydog in attempt to get torque back. Wheeling isn't bad but torque & lockers would let me go around the block instead of to the end of the street...

Well dream list...

Ursa Minor top
ARB Awning
Alpha Expedition Shower
AT Overland Composite Storage, Stage 2
ARB 40q fridge

Don't think I'll be getting much of the list in 2014 as I just traded into the '12 and bought a bunch of the 4 door version of the 2 door stuff I sold. Maybe 2015?

I bought a $30K Jeep in 2014, then spent $25K on it.

Here is what I bought:

3" Teraflex lift
Fox shocks
Synergy control arms
JKS track bars
Dynatrac 60s with Eaton electric lockers, 4.56 gears, and Warn hubs up front
Teraflex tire carrier
Poison Spyder bumpers and rocker guards
Warn winch
Tom Wood driveshafts
35" tires
Fuel 17x8.5 wheels

Too bad I haven't even had a chance to drive it yet. Dynatrac took three months to build and ship the axles, which was a month past their stated delivery date, and Dynatrack mounted the track bar mounts too low, so they had to be re-done. . The JKS track bars didn't clear the Dana 60s and had to be swapped out for Teraflex track bars, and there was an ABS fault that needed tracked down. It is finally getting finished though, and I should be able to pick it up this weekend.

Well,,, congratulations anyway!! Thats a nice list of mods. You are going to love the confidence the PR60's give you when it comes to difficult off road obstacles.
