Ok i know that its all opinion. But I was wondering what rock sliders you guys/girls are running or would suggest looking into. I was looking at JCR and AJ's super sliders. Also if you guys have pics of yours on your jeep could you post them up as well.

thanks. i was trying to stay away from rustys, but maybe for the diff. skids i could make an exception. ive never heard of blazen offroad. are they trustworthy, have you have any experience with them or did you just find them? keep the rocker suggestions coming haha.

yeah 60 bucks is a good price for a diff. cover...even if it is rustys...

my friend got his hi lift mounts and a couple other things from their website for his tj...and he said the shipping was fast and decent customer service...but no first hand experience...
