The first thing to go in to her was an audio system...I just couldnt take the stock setup. I replaced the dash 4x6s and the soundbar 5.25"s with Memphis MClass coaxials. Next I added an Alpine head unit with iPod controls and. The subs in this thing are monstrous. Four 15" Memphis PRs in a custom downfiring enclosure. I know subs arent very "Jeepy," but I love them, and they sound good with all music, surprisingly. The third pic is a look under my box from the pass. side floor. I will try to get a better pic when i lift the box up

Then Christmas came...Santa brought me a new front bumper (Smittybilt XRC) and a Warn M8000 winch. I also bought a pair of KC Long Range Slimlites off a buddy of mine. The winch took awhile to get on b/c I had to order the Solenoid Mounting bracket later

My RC lift came in today along with the new steering stabilizer. I will post pics tonight. BTW I am very impressed with RC. I got my lift in just two days and the shipping was essentially free because of the 10% JF discount!

Ok, my RC lift is on and I have a few issues. First of all, the steering wheel is off 90 degrees to the right. Im pretty sure the alignment tomorrow will fix this, but if I am mistaken then please correct me. (BTW the front track bar had to be redrilled). Secondly, My transfer case will not shift into 4-lo and 4-hi is slightly farther back in the shift sequence. The TC drop was installed, and I didnt seem to have any vibrations while driving. So, how can I make it so where I have 4-lo, and do I need to take off the TC drop?
 
#22 ·
Alright yall. Here is my list of future mods. Critique me, and tell me if anything is wrong (esp. with the gears and lockers). BTW, the BL/MML are ordered, and I'm getting the wheels and tires in Oct. Let me know what you think

Yea, I did. I kinda wish I wouldve gone with SirGCals setup, but I hadnt been introduced to JF yet. It actually isnt too much bass though, it sounds pretty good, even on country. And theyve been rained on. The box is herculined and theyre downfiring so a light drizzle isnt too much too worry about. THe top is up anyways if it is raining alot.
