Well I've added quite a few parts over the past few weeks. First off I sold that hube ARB bumper that I keep beating up and my Ramsey Rep8.5E w/ synthetic rope, etc. The REP8.5e was a good winch just too slow for me.
I called Terry @ Rigid Fabrications www.rigidco.com and told him I needed a front winch bumper quick.. He said I'd have it in 2 weeks. Well if any of you know Terry I highly doubted it. Never the less it was at my doorstep in exactly 2 weeks from the date I ordered. Price was $530.00 shipped. I painted it Rustoleum Satin Black. I also ordered an Inner Steering Box brace from www.tntcustoms.com.
I needed to order a winch so I looked around for the best price I could find and ordered a Warn M8000 from 4WheelParts http://www.4wheelparts.com/ for $491.00 shipped to my door. I"ll order some Synthetic Rope and Fairlead in a few weeks may make a nice Christmas Present.
I also sold my Iroks and MT Classic II's to my buddy Hammerite_05 (wait til he post some pics of his Beast of a MJ). I dont drive my XJ on the road anymore so I found a killer deal on some MAXXIS Competition Compound Trepadors in the 37x12.5x17 Flavor... These things are insanely Sticky. I purchased some 17x8 Cragar Soft 8's and gave Dan @ Ruff Stuff www.ruffstuffspecialties.com a call about some 17" beadlocks. Best price I could find and the fit was great... $220.00 shipped to the door. I then went over to Fastenal and picked up some hardware for something like $20.00
I also ordered a cage from Essentially Offroad http://www.eoronline.com/ . It was $720.00 shipped to my door and is 1.75" .120wall DOM. The fit was very very tight w/ the roof which is nice. IT's triangulated pretty well and I still need to add a few peices of tube and gussetts in the next week or so. Like I expected it didnt fit absolutely perfect but we already have a tubing notcher and plenty of 1.75 .120wall DOM laying around so it wasnt bad. If you do plan to buy this cage plan to get a notcher, You'll need it. All in all I'm happy with it. Also welding inside a XJ is not much fun at all...
Well enough of that crap I"ll post some pics.
