Congrats Justin! Looking better all the time.

You enjoying your duster/sunbonnet setup?

I like the setup for the summer. It would be a little to drafty for me to run in the winter time. I LOVE the look of the jeep with the top setup

How do you really feel about it, Wes? No need to hold back .......... I do agree though, they should have just pushed that thing into the ditch, and drove it back out. Either straight out the other side, or further down the line a little. Hell, they were already hooked up to that tree. Winch it out going forward.

My Jeep has officially been PIMPED my friends. I got rubber last night from steve and have taylor's old procomps. Needless to say it looks AWESOME. It actually rides better than the stock wheels/tires that were on it. I'm happy with it for now, but I need some bigger tires in a big sort of way. The wider wheels actually lowered my ride height I think. I really like the way the Nitto tires ride on the road though. May consider buying a set of those in a 35. Just have to see what kind of mileage people are getting out of them. I still want a 35" dueler
he makes it too easy, his jeep is named "cooter" and has a broken zipper.......

yea i was really surprised at how quiet my 33" were, i did the lassie thing hanging out the window for a couple days but there is little to no tire noise....and the ride seems mucho softer than with the stock wheels and tires....last off road tires i had were 35 dick cepek's in florida and they were noisy as hell, but the was a long time ago too...lots of progress made in the tire mfg world.......

and while im asking i get in gravel down along the river sometimes and the steering seems to get "sloppy" in the soft stuff, would a stabilzer fix that?

my mopar sun bonnet (gay name) is actually quieter than my factory soft top. However I think my header seal needs replacing as I'm getting a lot of wind noise lately.
