What was your best upgrade?
« on: March 27, 2009, 02:08:59 PM »
Ok, been wanting to post this for awhile now. OTHER THAN LOCKERS I want to see the TJ answer, YJ answer, XJ etc. Looking for the not so common answers though. Like quick disconnects etc. I will start...

TJ - Bellyup skid, the additional 2.5" has been awesome!
I've grown tired of this.

Buying the XJ!!
But on the YJ I think the York rates up there with everything, I actually use it a lot, and for a lot of differant things.

How about mods that we hope we'll like when they're done?

-Axles that I won't have to worry about breaking everytime I bump the gas
-Extra wheel base and width
-That line lock will be fun (thanks for the idea, Mark)
- Jimmy
I'm thinkin' with my dipstick!

Either just the lift in general or sliders. Because of the ZJs really long wheelbase it tends to get bottomed out a whole more often then other Jeeps (besides maybe the 4-door JK) and anything to help alleviate that and take any damage that results from it really helps.

The best mod I ever made was not giving a sh#t about my jeep body.
Buy a junker with a good drivetrain, dont waste money on sliders and protection, just let the body take the abuse.  There is nothing more fun then going up an obstacle that all the $50K rigs cant make because they are scared of scratches in a $1000 jeep.

Probably the best mod for me was:

1.  new D44's front and rear with ARB's.

2.  soon to be belly up skid.

and most of all my GATRAILRIDERS BANNER.  I have got to meet a lot of cool guys who love this sport as much as I do.  I also met one that loves MUD...  guess who??

You need to figure out how to bring it to the next ride and make some money washing all the mud off everyone's jeep that follow you around..  It would probably be worth 10 buck a shot...   {ehm}
