Hiya, Andrew! Welcome to ExPo!

Nice looking TJ, looks like it's already very well traveled. And you have a good base to start from with the D44 Rear.


LUISJG - Which roof rails/bars are those?

Those were surco rails and bars, the trick here is when mounting on the hard top ,, the rails have to be on the outer portion of the roof were the fiberglass i double thick ,, you can load houdreds of pounds without worries

Hiya, Andrew! Welcome to ExPo!

Hey Chris! I remember you taking that pic .

I'm diggin' this forum... wish I had found it a long time ago. I'm trying to get into more expedition type 4-wheeling. Most of the guys I run with are more into the rock-crawling which I really don't mind, I'd just like to do some more exploring with my rig .

Where was that pic taken??

Buffalo Gap National Grasslands, just outside Badlands NP in South Dakota Oct 05.

The Teal YJ is Cowboy here and the Red YJ is my son's Jeep. We threw this trip together at last minute (30 DAYS) and i was not able to take my Cherokee. I'v had an itch for a ragtop since.

That's what really gets me. No one around here in the Jeep community is up for that kind of stuff. They just want to go bigger and try and break their stuff while digging up the countryside. That pic with the 2 YJ's makes me happy.

Nice looking Jeep!

Looking foward to seeing more photos of all the work you are planing on doing.

I posted the same thread over on Jeepforum where I have well over 2k posts. Most of the guys I run with are not impressed with my buildup plans . I've been trying to defend my decisions. Their take is that I'd be limiting myself and the capabilities of my rig by staying with 32's and not regearing. Within the last few weeks many of them have made major improvements to their vehicles; bumped up to 33's from stock, purchased tow vehicles, Air-Rock suspensions etc....
