Major style points.
Wonder if the backbone would work with your grill guard,a winch would just top it off.

Thanks guys for the kind words.

I went with Rusty's 2/ 1/2" Lift. I did not do the work myself, had my local guy do that part.

A winch is what I was thinking next, and a good safari style roof rack cage.

I have a set of 4 tires/wheels I am trying to dump off now. What is a good way to sell these things?

Thanks guys and hope to meet up with a few of you one of these days. I am from the great NW Indiana area, about 45 minutes from Chicago. ;-)

I think you'll need different springs on the front, if you plan to mount a winch. Otherwise the weight of the winch on those same-rate-as-stock springs will have your nose back to the height it was at before the lift. I used to think they would work as well but, after replacing mine I realized that my front end had sagged about 1" and I hadn't even gotten the winch mounted, yet.

Very nice KJ. :D

Hey MZ that's a great looking jeep.
May I ask what kind of wheels you have on there I'm a big fan of them.
