yup. i wanted the 130s but it was looking like too much cash. 4wheel parts was having that %15 off deal before superbowl and i decided to get these. $91 after tax was an awesome price.

Now i am trying to decide if i want to do somethiing with the covers. they dont match at all. I might paint them black or get new ones or something. idk i havent decided

Ok so my car definitely has no security system. I can break right in and it only uses simple locks that i have to lock manually.
Also, is this command-trac a LSD?
It says it came with fog lights..not to me it didnt haha.
And there is no way i have more than 4 speakers and a stock sub in my car.
Remote start systemn? What is this?


Did they even get the right spread sheet?

Just sold my tire to a forum member and made about $90!! woot woot!

That brings my total spent to $-79, meaning the last 2 months worth of upgrades have actually given me more money in my pocket(mostly because i sold my sub)! Meanwhile, i got a new bumper, lights, and full size spare tire.

I see a D30 warn diff skid on CL for $40. I think i might purchase with the extra cash or maybe i will just wait and bring it to TDS just incase something is for sale there.


What i dont get is: since just about every jeep owner has parts they want to sell to other jeepers locally, why dont they bring them to events and try to sell them there. It would be much easier than CL and a lot of fun to cruise around looking at everyones stuff! i love a good deal!

because its hard to fit 2 33s, a driveshaft, sliders, control arms, and tie rod ends in the back of a jeep :rofl:

yea im excited about it. Craigslist is awesome! Next on the list is gunna be a rear bumper w/tire carrier i think. It will take a couple months of selling things to get the money since my job money is all supposed to go to living expenses.

Im seeing the best options for under about $500.

So far I am looking at the Dirtworx bumper or the LOD, or the tuff designs. Probably what will happen is i will just get a used one off CL tho. There is a guy selling the rampage fog light bumper for $300 on Cl, but there are mixed reviews and i am not that big of a fan.

Good News: just got an email from dirtworx and it looks like it will cost $410 for the Jerrycan bumper with d-rings and everything. Pretty sweet deal. I think it will be coming in a couple months when my b-day comes around. IF i cant get enough, i can probably get his simple carrier for around $300....lets hope not tho.
