Looks good but overpriced.

I'm going to look underneath and figure out a way to build my own. Not sure how knarly I plan on getting with my offroading, I'm coming from owning a Raptor so its a completely different animal. I like going fast offroad but I also enjoy the mud and technical trails.

How are you enjoying the jeep versus raptor? I took mine out today since we got a little rain. Heard some sounds that weren't so pleasant. After a nice clean up of the under carriage i definitely figured she deserves some protection. I just don't want something somewhat preventable happening turning into a 3g fix! Lol.

Honestly the jeep is a much more capable vehicle for the PNW wheeling. I have tried going through trails in the Raptor but it was way to wide or long. It did great at the dunes and when I would head down south and do some desert running it was great. Also the jeep is actually a more comfortable ride. Hopefully in the next couple years I'll be done with school and it will be full throttle mod time for this bad boy. I plan on designing most of my parts that will be going on this thing minus suspension.
