The 2-door stock gives me hope! Now, when I do get out, I know I can't not bring my gf and her CR-V. She is so proud of that thing! Honestly, its not a bad little ride....

Well we all made it home ok! It was a blast but would have been more fun if it didnt rain so much. Was a good night! Today the rain really hammered down and made things a huge mess. It was all fun and games till **** broke lol. Im not sure if the pumpkin bottomed out or it my u-joint u-bolt gave way. But it blew my rear shaft off the yoke. Had to have Dennis/Customizer winch me up a steep incline to get out of the water. That way i could unbolt my rear shaft to get out of the woods in FWD LOL. The drive home was interesting to say the least with unbalanced 36's and FWD. And a front locker lol. Thanks for everyone coming out and all the help it was a good time! We will have to do this again!

For now I just need the basics and hand-dirtying experience to reduce the anxieties of tearing into something. I need tie rod ends (bushings, but can only see replacing the ends), control arm bushings replace, fluid changed and a basic once-over from eyes that know what they are looking for. Everything is stock and I plan on getting a good solid handle on the base before I decide how far to take er, so bushings and stability seems like a more viable pursuit at this time; instead of diving into a full-out lift and build then discovering it's not what I want.
Front end is pulling to the right and it looks like it could use aligned or pushed left about an inch. No death wobble but misc squeaks. I've looked under while my son turns the wheel, which is where I come up with the bushing diagnosis. And the control arm bushings just look tired. Ball joints....seem solid but need yo get er in the air to see what the deal is there.
Just a thought. I apologize if this is the improper use of this thread, but I figure us local folks could use each other's help.
I'm in Morrow, OH so keep it fair ;-)
Cheers!
