I see your sporting a hitch on yours Gcally. Has it road tested OK?

Great list of goodies by the way. Especially the wheels and I am a stock fan usually!
The 35s are only right given the LWB.

Given the Jeeps current condition, I'm gonna go ahead and assume he hasn't had a chance to give the hitch much of a test

Yea I really never drove the jeep very far (off the trailer into my garage)

The factory hitch is for sale if anyone wants it 50 + shipping. I am also selling the chrome grill cover also 50 + shipping.

Nah, I was referring to the PO "testing" out the auto tranny towing who knows what prior to doing it in.
I have been wondering this myself with my 04, but it never was wrecked just towed stuff fro 20K.
I'm sure it shifts great but just pointing it out.

There are tons of readers on here looking for chrome so you should have no problem dimping those gadgets.

I got the Rokmen belly up kit today. The kit is awesome! The quality and attention to detail that Rokmen has is amazing. These skids are sold as a rock. The FedEx guy must hate me by now!

If you need any jeep armor or suspension stuff give Jeff at Rokmen a call they are really great people to deal with. Jeff knows his products. The great part is the use what they sell, so they can give you real world advise!

I got the GroundPounderFab rear bumper mocked up tonight. I wanted to make sure everything fit before I paint it. The bumper is really nice and fit perfectly.

Looks like this build will be a good one. Love the LJ's. I wish I had the money to do all of this to mine right now.

Nice build. The Rokmen stuff looks great. I have been eyeing the gas tank skid and steering box skid.

Looking forward to seeing the Rokmen products mounted. We've got the same ideas when it comes to our builds.
