Name three things you would never do to your Jeep again

Three things I would never do to my jeep again. The first would be allow my wife to drive it. The first time she drove my jeep she drove it into my next door neighbors garage. Total cost to repair garage $5500. My Cj7 survived to fight another day. Second thing, I wouldn't do to my jeep would be giving it a 3 inch body lift. Third thing would be going to a mechanic to fix my Jeep before talking it over with members of this forum. You don't know how much money I have wasted with mechanics guessing what is wrong with my Jeep. I come here and you guys get it right the first time, everytime thank God!

1. Install OME shocks. They ride almost as bad as the infamous Pro-Comp ES3000 shocks. Not even close to being as good as stock.
2. Bestop Supertop. What a waste of money. Should've started with a factory top.
3. Can't come up with a third one right now.

2nd...see above^^^^^^

3rd...let Evian's wife drive my Heep

This is easy...

The three things I did that I would NEVER do again...

1) Install a ProComp or Tera suspension lift
2) Install steel wheels
3) Install a K&N air filter

thats exactly why...when you air down as much as most rock crawlers do, the lip of a rock will dent a steel wheel very quickly and quite easily.
