| | Lame article on Paragon's last ride in the latest JP magazine. Okay I know its good that there is something in there and I'm just upset my jeep didn't make it in there. Knew I should have rolled it. |

| | they also had a couple interesting articles of front and rear axles and put them in order of strength and commented on which make good/poor swaps for the jeep. The other article involved differential covers and lots of guns to test the strength of the covers. Only one cover was bulletproof but I won't spoil the results. Oh yeah Bree is gone now. |

| Yah Bill...the main picture missed our group by like 2 rows. I came home from vacation and I was overwhelmed with potty reading material. 3 Wheeling Mags! JP also had the rear tire carrier comparison. That was great and will really save people a lot of time. When buying stuff now you have so many options and till you get to every website and reviews etc etc etc your head is spinning with no real conclusion.

| Weld a double cross member from the right to the left of the roll bar and place it in an 45 degree angle.

| Yeah I had that idea like two years ago but after talking with Bill and Rich. We all came to the point where yes it would look sweet but it completely blocks the view and makes the rear storage a pain to get to from the outside. So its either find a reasonable priced and strong tire carrier or forget running a spare and get good at setting beads. Personally I think that I'm going to make a temp setup inside to lay it down over the wheel wells and then when i run the back seat I can run the stock tire carrier for the street. I'm sure my plan will change soon. I will figure something out.

I laughed sooo hard when I read this article but aside from the humor it really was a great way to rank diff covers When I was looking for one I kept going from web site to web site comparing prices and specs till I was dizzy.
This article answered all my questions in a straight froward no BS way. |
