I think I will be off...I will have to work the night before so if I decide on going I will be running with zero sleep and leave right from work at 8am. I will let you know for sure this week when I figure it out Rach.. Btw how big will the green group be?

green group will be pretty big, bc the rest of them are riding blacks and possibly reds. some of the people want to ride greens and blues, i may be down for that, idk im not planning on breaking my truck either soo... yea

This just in, tow hooks ordered, bumper slowly being cut away... I plan on coming prepared to cut more if necessary. Torn between grabbing wheel spacers or not. Dont have time to deal with ordering wheels and getting em all switched around.

Spider trax.. 120 for two
Rough Country... 60 or so for 2

WTH, spider trax that much better?

This camping thing is looking fishy as my friend and maybe his girl do not have any camping equipment. I have extra but this is becoming a safari, not a day trip. Whats the situation with these rooms and availability for others. Too late yet?

yea thats the exact reason why i booked two rooms. umm the only way you can stay there is if you keep it clean and not do anythign that would have and ramifications, bc my father is paying for the room..... that goes for anyone...

im not sure how your truck is set up but it might be worth it to even just bolt on a hook to the frame in the front a simple 20 buck

bunkermonkeycw · **Posted:** Thu Apr 07, 2011 2:41 am

I'll move my hooks to you if needed! No worries. :JEEPIN:

I have my front bullbar worst comes to worst. I'm lifted about 2 inches after its settled with 265-70-16's underneath and factory mopar skid plates.

DoubleK · **Posted:** Thu Apr 07, 2011 4:25 pm

Ryan, i have the front tow hooks from a KJ on my KK. they were literally bolt on. took like half hour to an hour to get them both on. and if u get it from www.justforjeeps.com you can ge them for like $43 i think.. not exactly sure but i know they were cheap and totally worth it, strong as he|| too. if im not mistaken, i think the tow hooks can pull 10k? not sure though but i love them. go get them. the pull bar wont hold your weight. GET THEM BEFORE RAUSCH!!!! :JEEPIN:

irollgen4s · **Posted:** Thu Apr 07, 2011 7:40 pm

I would get them, but i just have no place to mount them with the bullbar on. The only reason i keep the bullbar on is because it covers a hideous gash in the front bumper from when some Cun* smashed in the bullbar into the bumper and left the scene. Unless theres another place i can mount them...

DoubleK · **Posted:** Thu Apr 07, 2011 9:12 pm

there is meant to be damage to your jeep, hense the word JEEP. pull off that bullbar. i mean besides, look at Deans Jeep, he had things held up by rope and his bumper was cracked all the way around :ROTFL:

, he|| i even have a slit in my bumper but its a Jeep thing. if your annoyed with it either get it fixed, or fix it yourself. pull a Dean and some how put it back together. always works :twisted:

hmmmmmm......

Either way, not a show stopper. I'll have my tools and the ones on mine. Juussstt innnn caseee.

irollgen4s · **Posted:** Thu Apr 07, 2011 9:33 pm

talked to my dad about ordering them. Their 90 bucks and only rated at 5000 pounds each. Im going to keep shopping around hoping i can find some better for that price, or at least cheaper. Dad gave me permission to use the bullbar as a tow point if i have to. I told him damage was likely and he nodded. game on :BANANA:
