ohio roll call
I think we should all post a pic of our rigs, and list our setups, and the trials and tribulations of the rigs. Get to know one another! I'll start.
Mine:

Bought old girl in January, and replaced just about everything on it, she's pretty simple, and have much more to do:
1997 Cherokee Two Door

Rubicon Express 4.5" Springs
OME Long Travel Shocks
Rubicon Express Quick Disconnects
Rubicon Express HD 1660 Trackbar + Relocation Bracket
Metal Cloak control arms
OME HD Steering Stabilzer
96 Chevy 1500 front brake lines
Open Front Diff
Soon: Control Arm Drop kit, LSD front
Rear:
Rubicon Express 3.5" Leafs
OME Long Travel Shocks
HD Offroad Shackle Relocation Kit
Open rear diff (yuck I know)
Soon: Rear Locker
Wheels: TJ Rubicon's, 32" BFG KM1s (hope to upgrade to some 33/35's soon)
Broke/Replaced since January:
Trans lines
