2006 KJ - I was in the same situation, when I picked up the KJ in early 06, no one really believed the rumors of the 4 door wrangler, so I didn't wait... JJ - I know, and we paid more than 5 grand less for it than my KJ... The gas prices and economy are paying off for people in the market. FYI got a line on a 08 Rubi Unlimited, Rescue Green with Half doors for $22k in Sacramento if anybody is looking for a deal... |

My wife wanted the Libby for the grand kid to make it easier to get in and out of the back. I wanted to wait to see if the 4 door Wranglers were really coming out but she couldn't wait so we ened up with the Libby. If I had known we would have waited although the Libby has been nice and keeps proving its worth to me, even though in the begining I wanted nothing to do with it. Oh and for that price, heck thats fantastic! |

In planned order... Pioneer Avic F900 (bought) Igee's seat covers (bought) Nitto Mud Grapplers 35x12.50x17 (bought, need to find rims now and get fenders) Smittybilt XRC High Clearence Fenders probably order tomorrow (so I can run 35's w/ no lift) Poison Spyder Bead Locks (if I can find a set still after they shut down) RIPP Supercharger Rugged Ridge XHD Front Bumper XRC 10 Winch Or-fab tire carrier still deciding on the rear bumper... cobra wx75, firestick, blah, blah, blah... minor things should have most of it ordered by next week... shop prices, shipping, who has military discount, etc. it all takes time... |

| Post subject: | Project Update |
Update on the JK... I've started the ordering process. Not easy to keep the Jeep money away from the wife around the holidays (she's al ready stolen 5 grand out of the pot...). So here's the part list so far. Old Man Emu lift with Nitrochargers. ShrockWorks Rock Sliders. RockHard 4x4 Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier. AEV Pintler Beadlocks in Argent (17x8.5) (no one has been able to reach Poison Spider for over a month )
ProComp 35x12.50 Mud Extreme (not the top choice but got a great deal) Hella 500FF's for the A pillars. AEV Corner Guards Appointment has been made to have the tub LineX'ed Still trying to find a halfway decent HID upgrade for the headlights, picked up some SilverStars to help in the mean time. I'll post pics as things show and and are installed. |

Sounds nice so far. I'd swap out that warn front bumper though, those things are too big for my taste but since you already got it. I see the list has changed some huh? |

Ran out of money (see wife comment). Next month will be the XHD modular winch bumper with Hoop.
Yes the list has been in flux a bit due to Jenny's tastes, and national backorder on other parts. |
