Yah, I'm not a fan of mud, BUT...we are doing some club skills challenge thing, mostly by the obstacle course I think from 10-2 and then I'm sure some of the guys will want to try to run a couple of the trails too...Jungle and Bonanza Gulch could get interesting in the slop. Here is what I'll be driving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I haven't seen that kit before. Be sure to post up the install process, and give us a good review of how the install went, as well as how it performs. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmanhollister Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 got a speeding ticket...so i might be rethinking longarm vs drop brackets, rough country also sells a set of drop brackets that look decent for only 189$...we will see how much the ticket comes out to...oh and i replaced some fuses and some bulbs and wired up some lights for my extra gauges. finally got some interior lights for night drivin besides my radio! also debating on if i should reinstall my carpet or not...thinking about putting down some bedliner material instead and maybe making some drain plug holes...keeping in mind this is not my daily driver and only sees the road to wheelin spots. and i have pretty much no rust which i am very thankfull for after reading other peoples project threads and seeing all that... anyone have a bedliner floor on their rig or tips on doing it? :edit: just did some reading and it seems that xj and mj lca mounts are not the same...so scratch that idea... and i found this...http://motionoffroad.com/catalog/index. ... b965f296be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
