Got a deal from my buddy VegasMatt for some Dunlop Radial Mud Rovers (32x11.5) and some Rough Country 2.5" springs. And with the help of my friend Dr.Marn we were able to get the suspension done in 3 hours.

New tires: Dunlop Radial Mud Rovers 32X11.50R15 and a Pro Comp on the rear.

2.5" lift, rear springs

Before and after with the front springs

I have come close to flopping, or rolling over many times. However, the last time I wheeled (a few months ago), I came closer to doing an end over end flip than I ever have.   After I removed the driver's seat from my rear, I vowed, I would not wheel until I had a strong cage installed. Been working on the cage ever since.

Both Jeeps have a good cage, the big Jeep will just see a lot more extreme trails so the risk goes up, so made sure it can take the beating

*something *new  Now you've learned 2 days in a row 
Yesterday I took the topless/doorless jeeeep down to the DC BBQ Battle. Fun times, met a bunch of the teams (only one got a walk tho, for chicken), met some of the 'famous' teams from the various bbq tv shows, etc. Next year I'm gonna be competing
might have had a team sneak me a couple ribs. maybe.. but they didn't get a top-6 place for them so I'm undecided on whether to base mine off theirs..

Are you sure engine is dying and it's not just a blocked cat causing your problems?

Went wheeling this weekend and halfway through my brake lights went out including the 3rd light... I haven't had a chance to check it out yet but hopefully its just a fuse or something. The blinkers/tail lights still work so i know the bulbs are still good.

Check the brake light switch on the brake pedal.

Yeah i definitely know that, a blocked cat would cause the jeep to smoke, cause a main bearing to knock, burn oil, loss of power, and more.....ive probably burnt up the rings and it finally got to the point where it just gave up.....mother effing PO, i hate when they dont take care of things and then tell you there fine and when you find out that there is nothing to do except run it till it dies

Got it up to 85mph, thinking a new steering box could be a good idea...
