I just got home an hour ago and have been in the garage. I pulled the trigger finally, or shall I say, the price finally was right. It is a new leftover 08 Sahara (was the only 4door with a manual within a couple of hours) dual top, trac loc, yada yada yada. Looking at a 2.5BB and 35's to add soon. Again, living in Iowa, not a lot of offroading so it is a DD. BUT, my better half is excited to take a trip west this next spring/summer/or fall. 
What a weird feeling to be stalking all of you for well over a year and a half and now become an official member! Oh it feels good not to be a troll anymore.
Anyone want to chime in on a inexpensive 2.5BB that will fit 35's and will keep or improve from the stock ride? And because of this forum, I will be installing it myself. One small step for man, one giant leap for this guy.

Congrats!!!!!
Did your Sahara come with the Tow package with the 3:73 rear? If you are planning to run 35's are you considering Re-gearing??? I know with 3:73 and 33x12.5 I was glad I did not step up to 35's as I would have been disappointed in the highway power to pass and I have the tow package and 6speed....but I do travel lots of mountain passes. However, 35's do look GREAT!!!! maybe someday when I re-gear 35's will be on our JK.

Congrats on the new jeep. http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddet...d=TF-001355210 if you get the shock extenders you will keep the stock ride and save a couple dollars.

Haha, no, that is another guy that just bought one here that lives on the other side of town. That being said, I have never seen another rescue green sahara in our city. I have owned it 3 days and I have seen 4!!!
I really need a lift and tires (just to look different for starters).
