Yeah the quality is great for a mobile phone. Nice man, I really envy you on the camera side of things. Camera, lens, equipment is so damn expensive and my minimum wage job just won't cut it right now .

Nope. Never.

Ha for the most, yes it is. Some people are not users on both forums so I usually copy back and forth between CherokeeForum & JeepForum.

Lol well put my friend. This pictures only makes me wish I could fork up the cash for an ARB Bull Bar from ARB themselves, but with my budget, I will keep scouring CLs for one.

That would definitely look sweet! Do Jeep parts show up on your local CL that often? Seems like our local CL is constantly filled with dealership advertisements and very rarely someone attempting to sell parts.

Thanks. I thought I would try something different and be unique.

Yes, it would be one step closer towards the look I am going for. I usually search through Portland and Seattle. Those are the two big market area for used Jeep accessories and there usually tends to be some cool stuff here and there. Besides that, there is absolutely nothing. It's a good compromise... I'd rather drive a little bit then pay full price .

Love that picture, dude - don't get snow down here in the Carolinas like I was used to back North. I only miss it for driving the Jeep in.

Hey man, just read through your build again. I have big plans for my Whitey this summer. I know we discussed some stuff lightly not too long ago, but I was just curious as to how your OME springs are holding up? Any sag yet? I'm probably going to give Dirk from DPG a call so he can talk me through which springs I want...I'm looking to net around 3" (decided to stay low for now). Thanks!

I ordered up a Neutral Safety Switch, Mopar Air Filter, and two Spicer 5-760x U-Joints today. I ordered the NSS and Air Filter from Quadratec, which I got free shipping on through the Quadratec vendor (Joe) on JeepForum. It saved me $27! I order the two Spicer 5-760x U-Joints from Northern Drivetrain, LLC for $58 out the door.
