Great pics, but where is the ZJ? I was expecting to see some pics of it resting on top of a rock. ;D

Have not gotten the sliders yet, so I took the advice not to go back. It is a daily driver till i get another vehicle. But I should have the sliders soon, and hopefully some bigger tires.

Smart move, I didn't go back there until I had sliders either and I'm glad I waited. Have you decided where you're getting your sliders from yet? I got mine from JCR Offroad and am very happy with them.

Break-Tons- of -Crap lived up to its name.   ;D I damaged my passenger side fender a little, but the bottom of my Jeep took a beating.  My oil pan is really dented bad, and is leaking a little.  :'( I ordered a new one today and with a new gasket is was $105 from advance and won't be here until Thursday.  I also dented my exhaust where is passes under the tranny in front on the skid plate.  My Tranny skid is dented up a little and my Gas tank skid had a good size dent too. 

I am looking into making an engine skid to solve the oil pan and exhaust problem in the future.  I like the design from Skid Row, so I think I will base my design on theirs.  I was going to move a locker to the top of my list, but I think a BL and MML as well as a TT and a stronger gas tank skid are going to take priority. 

On the bright side the 8.8 was beat on pretty hard and besides a few scratches it worked great.  The Dana 30 held up fine too after the added parts.  My tie rod flip kit showed up today, so that is going on soon too.

 That is where I am ordering them from. I leave April 20th for spain and will be gone 4 months. In the time I am gone I am going to order a bunch of stuff to put on when I get home.

When you order tell Brian that Roger sent you. He might give you a little discount. Brian and Daryl, the owners of the shop, are good friends of mine and actually started the 4given4x4 club that I have been a member of in Michigan since 2003.

Darn it, I missed another trail ride. I just noticed today the members area at the bottom of the forums. Looks like it was fun. Catch you guys at the next meeting.
