That's awesome that you will finally get a bumper! I bet you are excited..
I like Rusty's stuff, but isn't it kinda $$$? Oh well, judging by JK-Rubi's last post, he's buying anyway...so I will get the KM2's and some nice wheels once I receive the check
I wouldn't mind slinging some dirt Saturday after the game...I should have an hour or two to kill. Something kinda local to get a quick fix would be nice. I will try to think of something!
When we get some better tires and after a good rain, we need to try that place in AThens when we want to get the jeep a little muddy..it's not too bad.

I'm getting the new pre-runner with some extra light tabs and the price while a good bit more than the Smittybilt at lest is made in the USA and I can run down and pick it up when it's ready
And for now I don't mind going and riding in a dirt field as long as it's getting out and riding. And as soon as we get tires WERE GETING MUDDY!!!!

I think we all agree that this is your best option. You can wait until our first meeting to hand out the money if you wish.
I'm sure you guys can't sleep at night over my tire selection...
I know I have gotten lots of feedback, but I am (and have always been) a little hesitant to pull the trigger sometimes. I tend to be extremely anal about all my stuff. But hey, someone has to do it!
I am really close to giving the go ahead on the nitto terra grapplers and black rims. But everytime I read more reviews, the whole "not good in mud" thing jumps out at me. It's a shame that we can't have the best of both worlds huh? I think the best bang for the buck will be the grapplers. They look really sweet, do well on the trail (minus deep mud) and will last a long time. Not to mention ....cheap!
Coming soon...

If you look at the link I posted with my ranger, It took me nearly a week to get all the mud off that sucker!

On a new subject, not to copy, but I saw a post on a Georgia forum about having a group workday.... I think it would be both fun and informative for all of us to get together some and help each other work on our jeeps! I know a few of you have already done that to JK-Rubi's, but was just thinking we can have a designated time for everyone to get together and turn some wrenches....what do you think?

I think this is a great idea, 6 or 8 hands are always better than 2
.So it looks like In5ane and I may be going riding on sunday afternoon, so any one else up for a little meet and ride?
