| | Looks good tim - I may do a drive by just to see up close. I know I cant do anything to mine for a couple months so Im still gonna be straight stock. I may come out for the saturday of this months run but only if theres other stockers. My limit is 4 dig/pull/winch outs a day and I cant subject the biggies to dragging me behind. |

| Welcome to the club all...
Word of wisdom from someone who just started stock not too long ago...
Go slow... learn to wheel with what you have... and you will be a much better driver. If you jump up too quick it could get you in some situations you may not be comfortable in, and it may turn you off of a great adventure.
Even now I am not that big... 2" Rubi Exp. Budget Boost, 1.25" JKS Body lift, and 33" Tires... no lockers... 3.73 gearing. Thanks to great spotting from Nick, Nester, Rich, Bobbi, Gaylen, Joe, Tico, and a host of others I have gotten through trails I can not believe I finished.
I take the approach of going slow... change one or 2 things, then see how the handling changed... if something doesn't feel right there is less guess work on what you should undo.
But no matter what mods you get... Skid Plates... Skid Plates... Skid Plates.
See my post on control arms... I am shelling out a small fortune now, for what a $30 skid plate could have prevented...
Just my .02. Take it or leave it...
Can't wait to wheel with you guys and gals (once Black and Blue is healed again). And if you need a hand wrenching on your jeep... willing and able... just give me a shout.
