yea! wheeled at f&f in NH a few weeks ago, she did great!

the assist is awesome on the trail, feels like im on pavement turning. on the street is great too. i wish it was faster, but for the trail not street. its a bit faster than stock right now, but not a lot. it would have been a 700 dollar upgrade to the race box. i drive a work car during the week but the jeep is my weekend/after work DD. rolls along the highway no problem and i rip it around the backroads by my apt and it does great. i need to lengthen the trackbar a bit and i'd like to get an antirock but neither of those "issues" that those parts would solve have to do anything with the steering/assist. those parts are perfect.

It looks like there's a little man standing on your tire in that picture.

I needed to keep his front end down on the ledge.

i put on some lights

got some cheapo 10w pods for reverse lights from amazon for 25 bucks for the pair

they put out about 25 dollars worth of light. theyre 60 deg floods so its a decent spread. i cant really kick them up any higher bc then theyll be sticking out of the bumper. theyre wired directly into the reverse lights for now, i might add a tap at another time to flip em on whenever.

aaaaand the olympus off road 42" pro series single row combo beam light bar

beast.

also did a tune up... i needed to pretty bad apparently..

 

[gotboost]

Dang dude that light looks overkill lol. Those plugs had another hunnid thousand.

[killedbydeath]

that rear bumper and lights look awesome

 

[XJLI]

The end. Or, beginning?

 

[Dundy]

End. Definitely the end.

 

[MoparManiac]

Yup. x2

 

[XJLI]

Fair enough. My friend who bought it will probably be testing. the roll cage at rausch this summer after he finishes it.

 

[CTeunuch]

Hey btw I ran into a few guys out at KOH that know you. Fred, maybe Brian, and some dude that runs the PlasmaCAM tent?

Either way they used the PlasmaCAM to cut out a penis with "Dizzy" etched into it to weld onto Dizzy's bumper at some point.
