Default Some how or another...

I have missed this thread. Live out towards New Market and work in Research Park. If you see a Rescue Green with firefighter plates, give me a wave. Stock steelies are coming off at the end of the week and being replaced with ATX Artillery and 33" KM2 rubber.

I guess I have to find a mud hole around town to get my offroad urge out of me....hehe
Since I didn't get to go to Stoney Lonesome OHV park, I went to Skyline and rode to the "powerlines" and back with a friend of mine. It turned out to be a nice day late Sunday afternoon.

What about using the Daystar switch panel for the JK?

I'm about to do my drive train upgrades soon. It will consist of ARB front and rear lockers, 5.13 gears, Reel 1310 front and rear drive shafts, FT upper rear adjustable control arms (fix pinion angle), and FT adjustable front lower control arms (to add more caster to 7 degrees).

Welcome GotDesl!!
I may have seen you today if you drive a 4Dr - first RG Unlimited I've seen in Huntsville. Don't recall exactly, but I think I saw it on South Pkwy around lunch.

I'd get a winch bumper if you plan to get one down the road. With your exhaust, are you doing headers and muffler??

Daystar - seem to recall people hitting their switches when using a manual with this product, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Are you going to have an all day install party, or do you plan to go to a shop? And I guess if you're going with lockers and new diff, you'll be needing a nice beefy Diff cover too, right? Lately I've been lusting after the ARB cover.

By the way, I've been ordering stuff from a guy at 4WheelDrive Warehouse, and have been getting decent deals. Got a quote for a friend today on a Warn M-8000 . . . 25% off, and only $20 to ship to Hsv. Let me know if you'd like me to check with him on items you might be interested in. He always surprises me with respect to how low he'll go on stuff, but he works commercial sales and apparently has a lot of latitude regarding price (you'll have to believe me on this one).

You want to chop it up so I can see how it turns out. If it's a winner, we'll all name the mod after you when we do the same thing to our Jeeps (unless JasonC lets us check out his muffler mod first).

When can we meet up? Warning: The participants of this thread (me included) have an abysmal record for pulling off a meeting . . . so make sure the time is most convenient for you.

I would go with a bumper that has a winch mount. You can always add the winch later. Most people I know that buys a front bumper without a winch mount always regret it later.
