Welcome Eric,

When do you plan on moving back, what do you drive, and what kind of wheeling do you like to do?

I will be moving back in June. I drive a 07 Jeep Wrangler unlimited (4 door) Stock. I am not to worried about getting it dirty or dinged.

As for going off road... well i a newbe to it... so right now i am up for the little things until i get the hange of it.

Oh BTW YES it is AUTO!!! sorry i know how to drive stick but its been a wile and i did not feel like getting a stick...

I am looking to get some mods on it. I.E. Life kit, bigger tires - on and off road, and some other needed items. Where is the best place to get that stuff or at least a look other then online? I like to be able to see it in person so i know what i am getting...

A fellow JK owner alright. Bert and I are running Rubicon Express 3 1/2 Superflex kits. Bert just got his, I have had mine for 10 months. I had 4 Wheel Parts here in town do everything(lift, tires, wheels). Good group of guys there. Full Traction is local. R.E. and F.T. kits are the only ones i would suggest for the JK.

Check out this site for JK info.
The forum is a great place to get answers

That just means that your nicely painted fenders will have scratches.

Welcome to the forum!! We stay close to Bako for the day trips but we try to setup some weekend trips that are a little further away.

We are also doing Rubicon this year.

I would get a High-Lift jack, a good stap (20-30ft 20-30k lbs) and couple d-rings. It's alwas a good idea to carry a couple valve stems to. Thats what i'm carrying plus some hand tools.
