WIFE FOUND OUT! Spending the week at her mothers... :?
I work for a Towing/Recovery company, I offered to recover it for free if I could just finish paying it off. I got the Jeep, RO got her money and debtor got to walk home from Wal-Mart.
Only things I had to do were replace the front drive shaft, and clean the gunk out of the intake around the TPS. Put the rims on it. The chrome rims were a bonus they were in the back of the Jeep at the time of the repo 8)
Got a great deal and didn't even have to file for a bonded title.

and.....I got the house to my self for a week :wink:

If you're going to be running any type of bumper you'll want to go with a real lift, ( i.e. springs and shocks)
Daystar lift on 9 year old springs and shocks :banghead:

I agree 100% and the only reason I am going with the Daystar over OME or Other S&S lift is:
(1) I get Daystar at cost (another perk from Towing company) Through our local Truck accessories store.
(2) Front Suspension (Strut assembly, ball joints) replaced 6-2-08 via dealer ship.

If not for these 2 factors, I would go ahead and save for the (RIGHT LIFT)

So front "shocks" were replaced in 08, almost three years ago, it's still time to replace them
I thought mine and it rode like crap after 9 months and switched it to OME springs , Rancho shocks
( bought September 04, lifted April 05) Way better and lasts longer, original lift lasted 100,000 miles, now on the second lift.
If I had to do it over I would of had springs and shocks replaced the first day I bought it :wink:
