i had hudlow do my axle work and they are good and if they are any problems he stands behind his warrenty. they gave me a full year warranty on parts and labor.

Hudlow has been around forever but got somewhat famous for building a 14 bolt front for xtreme 4x4 a few years back. I stop by every so often just to see what they are working on. The Busa/Bug rat rod is sweet.

Back to your issues, let's start with how much lift you have and and go from there.

It's a 5.5 serious offroad kit. Basically a 5.5 Rubicon Express kit with the Serious Off-road longarm kit.

Alright everybody, I need some advice. Im tore between selling one of my Jeeps and buying a dual sport dirt bike like this http://cookeville.craigslist.org/mcy/4104620521.html or http://knoxville.craigslist.org/mcy/4083366473.html or similar. Whats yall opinion?

My DD is the 2 door and heres a few specs:
-1999
-HP 30 front 8.25 rear
-5 speed
-218k miles but still runs absolutely perfect
-3-3.5~ Lift
-265/75/16 Bfg ATs on TJ Moabs (Less than 10k on them)
-Interior 8-9/10 nearly mint (aside from typical tear on driver seat from climbing in and out)
-Headliner Redone
-Overhead Console
-New Speakers and stereo with USB and Aux
-H4 Headlights 55/100w and upgraded harness
-I take alot better care of this then most people my age do. I dont beat on this one.

My woods Jeep is the 4 door. Its street worthy and everything. Drove it to Cleveland 2 weeks ago with no problems. Here's some specs on it:
-1999
-Its Burple (Deep Navy Blue/Purple) haha
-HP 30 front 8.25 rear
-Engine has 110k, Body and Trans has 208k
-4-4.5~ lift
-33x12.50x15 Federal Couragia's on 15x8 D windows (fronts have 90% rears have 70% from misalignment but I fixed it)
-Headliner Redone
-Removeable Door mod done right
-Stereo with Aux
-Bedlined floors
-Interior is 7-8/10


Anyways, what do you guys think? Im tired of my 17 Mpg when I dont need the 3 extra seats 6.9/7 days of the week. I really like the KTMs. My DD is much more reliable but man I love the heck out of my woods Jeep and going doorless, plus I enjoy the 4 door more for some reason.

How much would you guys price each?
Do you think a dual sport is a good idea?
Or should I sell both and get a dual sport and a Comanche then do a full 97+ update

I live in Possum Creek. But Im in Hixson 80% of the day. I have a friend that lives in your neighborhood and cause I recognize your Jeep haha. Its a compromise for street/trail. It depends alot on the tire. The enduro's have a 6 speed trans and are said to cruise 70 mph pretty easily.

Why is it people always say they know where I live because they've seen my jeep. There can't be that much traffic on my street. Who do you know that lives here, not that I would know them.
