After a long two weeks of wrenching finally got the white knight on the road. Maryland inspection is a pain in the butt. The DMV had the wrong title number on the registration and I had to fight with them that the title was mine. New front brakes ball joints windshield brake line brake lights and window regulator was on the list for the repairs. Did them myself and the ball joints were a real you know what. I've worked on a lot of vehicles and this is the first jeep Ive owned. I can honestly say I'm already in love.:thumbsup:

so far nothing... Within the next month i plan on a 6.5 long arm, SYE, and 33 inch super swamper iroks. Trying to decide on wich lift im gonna go with. I want either Rustys, or Iron Rock Off Roads 6.5" long arm systems. I also want a locker for the rear but that will be in time..

Glad to hear you got it on the road... I'm worried about taking mine through MD inspections in June/July time frame... If I were stuck between those two choices for a LA setup.. I would go with the IRO setup... but that is just me.... What part of MD are you in??

I am thinking of picking up either the RC or IRO LA 6.5-7" setup when that time comes around for me... If I can get the crossmember for IronMan4x4Fab's LA setup, I would just do that upgrade though... that is the only thing stopping me from getting that LA setup... well that and lack of money...

I'm gonna do the shaft swap sye probably the advance adapters one. Bluedragon. I'm from western MD. I think I've made up my mind on the IRO setup.
