So Teraflex is like your favorite company ever right?

I am out for all things Saturday - from 7am to 7pm I am booked solid with stuff. Nothing Jeep related, unfortunately.

It is drivetrain parts and diffs that get the biggest workout.
thanks for the added input. I ended up selling my car tonight (not my jeep) and debating where to put the money.. thinking frame stiffeners (TNT) and some sliders. cross over maybe high steer as its not that much more money now that i have 2 flat tops. ill get a 3/8" rear diff cover too... debating 35's, kinda thinking i should learn how my jeep reacts with 33's before stepping it up more..

of course it used to be cool when it was mepco, and before miller ruined it. i'm still good friends with the owners and alot of people that work there, but they're parts are mostly outsourced chinese crap now and plus unless you own a JK they have no idea what your talking about.

Sliders are a great investment...you should do that. I am shocked how often I am into mine on the rocks, and I am so glad they are there

If you have 33s already and want to stay with them, for sure feel it out. But if you are buying tires, you might as well get what you want. Are there particular parts that have you concerned about the step up to 35s?

other then my short legs jumping into it no, lol. and my wife would hate it, but I can handle that. I am not really "buying" tires at the moment. more of an idea as the money is there for it now. I am almost 100% positive ill go 35's on my next tire purchase either way. My 33's are AT's and just blah to me, but work and have 5k miles on them.

I am getting my sliders in the next week or two. just ordered the stiffeners. I will be getting a high steer arm and steering set up this week for cross over.

I guess it comes down to-
steering box brace and solid spacer
fuel tank skid
Black steel wheels with custom rock rings welded in.

or 35's... all above would be good supporting mods for when i have 35's, its just which first.

well the main thing that sucks is they limit you to what part of the course you can play on, and usually its the lame part. plus its a small section, so like i said i'd rather go out on a weds night and get my full use of the 20 bucks and not have to wait in line to play.
