They would go very nicely with that flat hood and light bar

Good question, how does that affect the on road handling and sway in the turns?

I took it off before I went to Moab. Do feel a little more rear swaying especially in the wind. When my son was driving and I was a passenger, I could feel the difference. He hasn't mastered the smooth lane change yet and thinks you have to steer it everywhere.

I have to go tow the boat to the lake later this month and will probably put it back on and leave it on until the next time I go off road. I'll leave it off until I have to tow something.

I think its manageable for me but then I'm an above average driver. :wink:

Don't think I would leave it off if my wife or son was driving it on regular basis.

I like that crd it makes me think about selling my 02 gasser and picking up a crd. Like the idea of the crd and the fuel economy with the lift. My gasser isn't the best on fuel and haven't put the 245/75 on it yet should be brutal. Nice kj though.

I definitely saw your KJ on the alpine loop just outside of lake city a little over a week ago. Were you headed to Silverton?

Nice truck to be sure. How tough was it to wire in the heated seats? Im looking for some leater seats for my truck as well.

KJMurphy- What were you driving? A silver KJ? Yes we stayed on the road to Cinnamon pass and spent 2.5 days exploring up there.

On the Leather Heated seats, what ATXKJ said...

Its a TJM T17 bumper. Don't think you can get them in the US anymore. I bought it when Rusty's was closing them out, early last year.

Ok, I've got a bad OUTWinch Solenoid. Was going to replace the bad one, but via a little research found this style solenoid, handles both in and out and is rated to 600 amps.
I'm going to mount it behind the drivers side headlight and run new cables. I'm also going to mount the plug behind the grill on the drivers side for easy access. Last but not least, going to add, in-cab controls for the winch.
