JustinP, I actually went through the same thought process....was going to go with Daystar, but have switched routes to the OME. I have not ordered anything yet, but probably will in the near future (just getting a feeler out to see if I needed to plan to pay a shop to install). Let me know what you are going to buy and when you are ready to do it and maybe I will purchase when you are ready. Then we can go based on your schedule since mine is pretty flexible.
For mine, Itll be a little while for sure, I think Im gonna invest in a set of towhooks in the next week or two, Im dying to get offroad with the KJ, Im just on the fence since half of me wants a different bumper, Im not a fan of the ARB so my choices are extremely ridiculously limited to pretty much to the ARB. HAHA. Im thinking about going with a DetoursUSA backbone. But Im not dead set I want a big winch hanging off my bumper. I like the "less is more" look.
When I do get around to buying a lift, I believe Im gonna go with Heavy OMEs up front and on the back, Im gonna reuse the stock top plate, and depending on the gained height, Ill probably add a clevis lift and a top plate. On the back I'll probably add an isolator or two, extend the brake hoses and remove the sway bar. Pretty standard for LOST. I think I wanna run a 30x9.50R15 tire. So I should have lots of room for the tires. (I dont like cutting).
WickedKJ: Where do you go wheeling?? Ive been looking for some easy trails to try my KJ on, but everything I can find has been closed to vehicles, and Rausch Creek seems expensive, and Ive been told very rocky.
I'd be down for a wheeling day (schedule permitting), if a few people were going. I'd like to meet some fellow KJ enthusiasts.
