Ouch!! Yeah, I'll bet that did the trick!

Weclome new dudes! Weclome? Sorry, Welcome!! As somebody mentioned earlier, check out those 4x4 catalog sites and order the free catalogs. Some of them even give instructions on how to install different parts and pieces online through a PDF file before you buy it, so you have an idea as to whether it's something you'll be able to do yourself or need help with. Pretty cool.

Like Mud said, these vehicles we throw all our money at are the most capable rigs ever made right out of the box, but probably the best first mod you can make is to get rid of the stock tires and get some real meat on those rims. Depending on what you want to do, get some all terrains or mudders. Personally, I prefer mudders for everything I've been up against. They don't have the road manners of all-terrains, but I've been nearly stuck more than once with the all-terrains in places where I've 2-wheeled with mudders. It all boils down to personal preference, though. Wheel your Jeep a few times in different conditions with the tires you have, then make the decision as to what will suit you better.

Most importantly, enjoy that money pit!! Remember that the law says you must wave to all other Jeeps on the road or the Jeep gods will frown upon you!

Have fun and stick around, you've found the best site on the net for talking Jeeps!!
