this was the add he had on facebook so i bought it. I am looking to do about 1k a year in upgrades.My upgrade this year is going to be a dual battery the winch killed the yellow top on a trip so i no longer have that. Needs a cb radio and maybe a roof rack and need some hood vents and need some rock sliders. Plans always changing every time i take it out i am sure i will find what it needs. Have taken it out on three outings so far

in the future i would like long arms and maybe 2 more inches of lift but that's down the road

That is already an impressive list

[01xjcny]

already have the second battery to use just need info on what i need to wire it up. Its a die hard platinum 1150 cca deep cycle dont think it will fit under the hood

This has all the bells and whistles, but you can leave off what you want.

How's the ride quality? I have the same lift and mine's quite harsh. Wondering if its just mine.

[01xjcny]

well it is a little rough i guess but all and all does good. this is my first one and have not had a chance to ride in another. Now going down the highway its good no shakes and can do 80 and you dont even know it except for the gas gauge

Thanks. Yeah, mines stable and all just feels like it too stiff and wants to wonder. My brothers '90 has a 3" and feels like a cadillac in comparison.

Shocks make a big difference on these

One day i took off all the shocks and drove around the neighborhood. It did help some but still had a fair bit of stiffness. I'd like to get a set of bilsteins, just isn't in the budget right now though.
