welcome to the forum im in hollywood fla little furthur north of ya, what kinda help you looking to get a hand with ?

Delta

well i would really like to make my self a roof rack but i would also like some advice on lifts(*point to something* and say you can keep this but change that *points to something else*)

i am an engineering major and i will be signing with the USMC in September so im not completely lost i just need help with space and some direction

freegdr

as fo r lift you need to figure out exactly what the jeeps gonna be used for then lift can be searched as for the roof rack im not set up for any welding projects as of yet . i can refer you to a friend that builds projects that require welding for that issue roof racks are not very common down here in fla as they are in the northern states as the low tree clearence on some mud trails could cause damage .jm2cw theses are all your decisions though theres a small group of guys i ride with at different times were on facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Browar...26416180743387

Delta

well i guess your right i would really like to take ma jeep out mudin more than on trails but i would like to stay under 5" of lift

freegdr

lets start this way will it be more on the street mud or both and how much road driving you gonna do

freegdr

next decision is how much you wanna spend ?

Delta

you talking about the hump, your gonna atleast want 33s cheap stuff you gotta check craigs list, is it stick shift our automatic that makes a big difference in drive ability with big tires, we been riding off of 41 and the turn pike it was pretty dry good for little tires to have fun were heading there saturday morn to see what the fire has done.

auto and shes only rwd wich is another project i want to tackle i was around yesterday there it didn't seem like a big fire

freegdr

cheapest way to tackle the 2wd issue is finding a donor xj with blown motor there out there it takes time ive had mine 15 years constant on going project ,when you do find one i am willing to work something out with ya on the parts changing issues,when your all done its worth it in the long run, you were at that area yesterday the fires out correct,

Delta

well i think it was past the killian the fire department closed an on ramp and they were still going at it but it wasnt big

ive been looking for one with a blown engine but nothing so far

Delta

by the way thanks for all the help i really appreciate it

freegdr

any time this is what were all on here for to help each other out ,as for the fire we are talking about the same area 41st between turnpike and chrome is still burning after three weeks
