Nice. If you are going to take it off road much, get rid of the nerfs and put real
rocker protection on. You wont regret it!

Great suggestion on the BFG MT's or AT's. I'm running the MT's on my
'84 CJ and the AT's on my wife's '94 Land Rover Defender 90. Both are
great tires (I don't work for BFG, honest). Zelix, you mentioned you're
thinking of a lift. If you want more info on sizing, go to:

http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...rts/index.html

It shows sizing for all Jeep models and lifts from stock height to like
six inches. There are also some other tires that they reviewed too.

Don't listen to those other guys about emptying your pockets on this
rig. As far as I know, I've only spent about $5500 on my Jeep...that's
when I quit counting...

Welcome!
