or just do what he said in post #39....but I do not think this would be as cost effective as buying things individually. He wants to go with OME coils, so forget that RE spring set, and change it to an OME

**RockRodHooligan** · 02-28-2009, 10:51 AM

ok, fixed it

**RockRodHooligan** · 02-28-2009, 11:08 AM

Looks to be a better deal than the Currie kit anyway,

Currie kit - $1,780
OME shocks - $335
$2,115

And you'd have a JKS rear track bar, instead of a relocation bracket.

Alright, I took the list provided above, shopped around, and this is what I dug up...

TJ/LJ JOHNNY JOINT® CONTROL ARM 8 PIECE SET

2.5" Suspension System by Old Man Emu

JKS Rear Adjustable Trackbar

JKS Front Adjustable Trackbar

Old Man Emu Steering Stabilizer

JKS 1.25" Body lift

Total: 2036.75

I'll be taking those prices to Brian at 4wdh, and seeing what he can do. I'll post up what magic he worked here in a bit. I know he'll pricematch, but we'll see if he can do anything else.

does 4wp carry currie?

**RockRodHooligan** · 02-28-2009, 01:07 PM

yeah, they have the HD steering in the catalog, just not any of the other stuff, I'm sure if the carry the steering, they can get the rest.

**Bennettj13** · 02-28-2009, 01:18 PM

They sure do. Even if something is not on their site, if you call with a part number a lot of times they can get it. I'll have to check on all this stuff, but they probably can, I'm not worried. The only thing I couldn't find a lot cheaper was the actual control arms. They were pretty much 899 wherever I looked. If I can't get it from Brian, I'll call Jason.

So, up for purchase THIS check is the super 30 kit, and probably the Vancos. If I don't have enough for both I'll start getting more of the smaller stuff from the list going. Front diff cover, f+r gear sets, and I might call daveysjeeps and get the half doors I've been waiting on.

**Bennettj13** · 03-01-2009, 12:48 PM

Paid for the super 30 kit today, should be shipping tomorrow. Waiting on a PM and then I'll order the Vancos.

**Bennettj13** · 03-02-2009, 04:07 PM

Super 30 Kit shipped. Still waiting on word from Blaine about Vancos.

**Bennettj13** · 03-04-2009, 01:09 PM

Super 30 kit showed up today. Woot!

And I have decided to not go with Co2. I found a good deal on a Continuous Duty ViAir system for around the same price as I'd pay just to get all the crap I'd need for the Co2 set up. Plus, I can run my lockers off of this, AND HOOK UP MY TRAIN HORN!

**Imped** · 03-04-2009, 01:20 PM

Lucky SOB....I want a train horn....and OBA.

**Bennettj13** · 03-04-2009, 02:04 PM

You will always know where I am at the Badlands.

3 honks for getting over a tough obstacle (Because I'll be excited), 2 honks for I'm stuck (Also code for Aw Poop), 1 honk for someone else is stuck.

Seriously, if anyone is looking for OBA, check out Hornblasters.com. Their kits are crazy cheap. And if you become a member of their forum, you get another 10% off. It's nuts.

Thanks man. There will be PLENTY more pics when I get home from Kuwait. My goal is to put everything together and be wheeling within a month of getting home. We'll see.

The color is actually called Impact Orange, it's an OEM Jeep color. I love it.
