Re: help a newb. got a free JGC Laredo 4x4 2day runs great

Yes for the most parts...the rugged bumpers are out there you just have to search. There are a bunch of sites out there that will give you pretty much everything you need off of on site. When ordering the bumpers I would think about the idea of a winch, if you are planning on installing one in the future, you may as well get a bumper with the bracket to hold one as it will save you time and money in the long run. Installing them isn't bad, just a bunch of bolts and a couple of beers and possibly a friend.

I would go with what you can afford as far as a lift, like twisted said, coil spacers get the job done for the small $$. But you can get up into a grand for a full kit.

I would try a couple of sites in links, or just search... 4wd offroad, quadratech...are two of the sites i use but a lot of parts are cheaper if shop around. Also both sites will send out a free catalog, so sign up and list your jeep... I'm not a big fan of ebay as there is a lot of junk parts on there....so if you do find something on ebay be sure a check it out real good as i've been burned by one size fits all parts and what not.

good luch and congrats.
