Forgot a couple of little things...
1.) Off-Road shops:
-RMS Off-Road in Bohemia. www.rmsoffroad.com
When I am ready, I am getting nearly everything from Rich. Good guy, and good work/products offered. When the time comes (as soon as possible) for my stuff to get ordered, that's where I am going.
-TNT Conversions also in Bohemia. www.tntconversions.com
Leo is an awesome guy. He installs kits but is more of a custom fabricator. He is an AMAZING welder. Currently (on the side, when time permits) he is building a full blown Race Monster Truck...Long Island's first. Has built a few other Monsters as well. Awesome work...Leo's a real good guy, too.
2.) I got my JK at Island Jeep in Lindenhurst as well. Awesome treatment there. One of my bosses is a longtime friend with Ron Hasel, one of the two owning partners at Island Jeep. When I walked in the door to start looking I was 19 (when I bought it/took delivery...then again, the whole process took LESS than a month! I bought one that was in stock when it arrived).
Anyway, I couldn't believe the treatment I got whenever I was at, or still go, to Island Jeep. They know my name, the whole nine yards. I'm 20 now, and for being so young I feel like a King when I walk in there. Very helpful, stand behind the product, etc. Awesome people over there, no complaints whatsoever. Just an incredible experience all around at Island Jeep...and I have been to a Chevy dealer nearby about a year ago, and the treatment I got there was CRAP. Stood around for an hour with NO ONE even acknowledging me, and when I went to a salesperson it seemed as if they were less than pleased to be answering my questions. So Island Jeep, rock on! THANKS, RON!
That should cover everything I left out of the first post. If anyone has any questions about anything I touched upon, let me know one way or the other! I look forward to hearing from some of you!

Unfortuneately...
I have to...
WORK
There, I said it. Oh well...
And yeah, I got my 'gift of gab' from my Mom, go figure...
Until the semester is over I don't think I will be going on too many day trips. Like I said in my first post, during my school year and work schedule that coincides with school I usually only get some night trips in. I mean, I'm clear Tuesday/Thursday afternoons and Wednesday until 2:55 when class starts, but that just wouldn't work because of: a.) where I go to school, and b.) other people's schedule.
DAMN I can't wait until school is over! I'm gettin' there though...
Still, let's keep this thread updated. Lot's of good information in here so far...and like I said, I'd love to hear about those trails in Riverhead.
THANKS!

Hey TheDog218
What issues are you having w/ the ESP ?
The only issue I had was when I test drove it after installing the lift and I didn't straighten the steering wheel. After I straighten the steering wheel no problems.
I also saw your Jeep @ the dealer, looks great.
