I feel the need to take my brushgaurd off....it really screws with my approach angle....but I think I have to take the whole front end apart to get it off, I don't know I bought it with it and has recently been getting in my way trying to park on random boulders lol
Any thoughts?
I also bought a 3x30 toe strap, no hooks, and a trailer hitch D-link. Still waiting on a friend to see if I can borrow his handheld CB

My new portable CB came yesterday so I have that out of the way. The only thing I'm going to try to get now is a spare tire off craig's.

I'd be up for that if we get a good convoy. Where is everyone coming from? I'm in San Jacinto.

You will NOT need locker for these trails we will be running. If you got a small lift and off road tires you will do just fine. Like everyone is doing just make sure you can take off your swaybars before the trail or at Dennys. Cameron is taking good care of everyone... these trails can be done in a stock XJ with some fun. Just need good tires and 4x4 and if you get in a pickle there will be a few modified jeeps (Like mine) there to help pull anyone out of trouble. If anyone has any question shoot me or Cameron a PM or a text/call me @ ( 949 four eight six 9777 )
