Hey there guys, just checking in. What's the latest mods you've done in preparation for this upcoming wheeling season? Anything still planned? Let's here it
I've done a spare tire delete, added a Rugged Ridge bumper light bar with three lights and tinted my tail lights

Wow guys, looks like a lot of fun to be had here, so when I get back, I will FOR SURE come on a trail. (Of course, after I go about 10k miles back around the world).... But yeah, count me in for when I get back. Oh well, Deployment=Jeep parts and no jeep payment

My mods
Congrats on the gears Jsears! I can x2 on the new gears, it's so nice to get your motor and tranny back to working like it should. I can't remember if you went with 4.88 or 5.13's since you have 37's if I recall. Me and my 5.13 and the 35's work great. According to my jeep, I was getting 17-19 mpg last weekend on a drive from Portland to Port Angeles, not bad if you ask me.
As far as winter mods for my jeep, I am looking at a Cobra CB and the CoolTech mount sitting on the floor of my place waiting to be put in and last weekend I finally put on the AEV Hi-lift jack mount. I ordered it back in early October....talk about backorder. Well, better late than never I guess.
Shall we throw out some dates for a winter rally? Seems like it took awhile to finally rally peeps for that last run in October, but either way, I'm game!

Thanks! I thought strongly about 4.88's but in the end I went with 5.13's. Really wished I had a D44 so I could do 5.38's but oh well.
It is really nice to have the power back, and I don't feel that the tranny is shifting between gears as much.
I am lost at what to do next mod wise. But I will think of something.......
We can toss out some dates for our next trail run. Hopefully I am in town and out of the break in period by then.
