Either a hitch for the rear and for the front make those brackets that tie in the steering box and other side and cut a opening in the bumper for the d rings, its like that backbone and tailbone that detours makes but simple. All you need is some 1/4 plate and dring and done maybe done within a weekend if that maybe a day. Or don't worry about it and deal with it when it happens.

A 4 inch top maybe to small to let enough air in. I actually was working on a H1 style snorkle a while back. I decided againt doing it till I can get the River Raider hat (60 bucks) but here are some pics of my ruff home made hat.

What do you guys think
I have an IRO suspension kit on my cherocar and I love it. Lots of people who have never used IRO long arms talk crap on the design, but I think it's great. Plus, the articulation is radio.

I'd like to make it out by Los lunas when you go, you can check it out then.

sweet im glad you guys are gonna go its lookin like the 11 or 12 any preference? and thanks monster ill have to go to Upull cause i looked at those brackets and hooks online they want 1oo bucks, plus i took my hitch off so rear wont have a recovery point but i guess if im not the first one thru then it shouldnt matter to much.

Oh and XJ mike the 4" is plenty of of breathing room even if you get a prefilter in the river raider top, which is what i will prolly do aswell. most people who have done it say 4" is overkill with no prefilter cause stock air intake hose is 3" or close to that.

wish i woulda put my shackle bolts back the same way now i gotta take them off if i wanna fit my hitch back on

I didn't know you guys were talking bout going out today. I won't be finished with my springs by then. I went and got u-bolts yesterday but wasn't thinking straight and only got 2 and needed 4. Brain Fart. They won't get them to Bernalillo until 1230.
