Other than some possible squeaking, no, but like I said I haven't seen a lot of people run the kit so it's hard to judge the quality.

Yeah. Zippome seems happy with his, but I hear ya. Its just a matter of trust and saying "heck, i'll do it" with no rep. I'm kind of one of those people that just says "eff it, lets do this"

Yeah, hurry up and try it out so I can know which one I want to buy when the time comes!

I need sliders and a better TC skid, first.

good thing I already have those, even though they are stock

J/k, I had too. We'll see how much money I get for graduation, but I'm thinking i'll be using that to pay off/down some bills, considering I just put in my two weeks at REI so i'll just be working at Autozone now. I'm hoping to get a commercial driver position at the HUB store opening, which probably means a pay increase since i'd be traveling across state a few times. I'll be detailing on the side on days off, and trying to sell amsoil (if anyone needs amsoil, lol, talk to me. Gabe is ok with it).

I've got a local 4X4 shop that is a dealer for Zone. I'm going over there later this week to get his opinion on the Zone V. IRO. I am ready to drop the $$ myself on one or the other. I want some feedback from those guys. I know they have sold a few Zone kits for JKs.
