Well, new because I just bought it and I recently installed a 3.5" RE super flex, some jks quickers, RE trackbar and shocks, rocklizard quarters, OME ss, .and some other misc stuff. I also trimmed a little of the fenders. I love how this thing performs on the trail now, but I think I need a little more bumpstop and a SYE for sure as I have a little vibe when taking off. And here are a few pics of the finished product...

Yep, with a front drive shaft. Works great.

Looks good. I run that SYE and it's been fine for me. I use RE's driveshaft.

Can't believe you guys didn't invite me wheelin'. :D Looks great. You did an awesome job on the trimming. Don't forget to read over my bumpstop article, just a few down from the trimming article, if you haven't already. Give me a call if you have anymore questions on anything. I have some 2" bumpstops in stock you can stack on what you have, or if you bring me a stack of hockey pucks, I'll drill them out for you so you can stack those. I recommend the hockey puck route since they are only a buck a piece or so. Next time you're in town, give me a call. And definately go for the hack and tap, it will be plenty strong enough for your setup. I abuse mine everyother weekend with no problems.

Haha, we would have invited you Marty but you were already at wheeler lake. We took it up to the trail with China wall and it pretty much did everything no problem. I thought the wall was tougher but it is all about the line I guess. We would have rolled with you but we didn't get everything going until around 1 pm! Thanks again Marty for all your help...much appreciated. Anyone have an extra front drive shaft or know of a good place to pull one, thanks...

I thought that looked like China Wall. Here is the trip report from Wheeler Lake: http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=72553
I would highly recommend skids and rock sliders before tackling this trail. It's not super difficult, but there are a lot of rocks that like to just jump up and bite you.:D We had a great time but it was a long day after helping the broken buggy. Anyways, give me a call, and I will keep you updated on my upcoming trail runs.
