I regret not doing research on both the amount of great wheeling clubs and great trails in Maine and I regret not finding this forum before I bought my Jeep

I might have bought the rubicon instead, but I'm way happier with what I've built vs a factory rubicon...

Regret offroading for a first time on a semi-difficult trail... New clutch was the consequence

Too much Whiskey.
Got wasted, broke a wheel, cut brake line and hit a tree.
Bent Dana 44 and axle shaft.
Replace with Teraflex 44, chromo axles.

FTW

I regret not saving for another 6 months to get a Rubicon. Not that I wheel a whole lot, just more of a "want" instead of a "need"

You're not stuck with 3.21's. All you need to do is change the front carrier while changing the gear ratio. PM us for pricing.

I regret not buying 33's and new wheels. Instead I bought 2013 Rubi wheels and tire takeoffs. For about the same amount of cash I could've had those 33's.

Well, PM me a quote. It's not so much the parts that concern me, it's the labor....

Look around you should be able to get em installed for about 600 bucks. I waited till I had new chromo axles and diff covers and got it all installed for the same price since the old stuff needs to come out anyway.
