Gold Valley and Snake Lake sounds good too for a tune up run. I am sure we can get some guys together for that run.

I am going to order some RE 4.5" front coils and add HD shackle relocation brackets and 2" shackles to level it out real soon.

I should be ready by May to do some camping so lets go and set some dates, the dance card fills up fast.
Yeah the winter has been so weak that we have trails that are ready to go right now... I even saw built jeeps heading onto the rubicon the other week. I'll make sure to invite you on any wheeling trips I take and you do the same!

Actually just looked and those are 67 from serious + 5 percent forum member discount, the 3.5 inch that I bought were 110 wonder why 4.5 is so much cheaper? After shipping and 5 percent cf discount it's 74.31 so not much difference but a little cheaper.

$74.31 shipped? If so may go there since all I am doing is getting rid of the Rouch Country lift that sagged or can't hold the height with the weight of the winch and Backbone.

A guy named The_Weirdo turned me on to Mudflaps.com and the RE deal so I would like to thank him again.

Yea with the cf discount and 10 dollars hoping it comes out to 74.31 it only like a dollar something cheaper, so I would just order from whoever you like. Have you called rough country about your issues, they would probably do their best to make it right.

Have any pics of your cb mounted up? I have the cb and don't know where I'm going to mount the box.

I can get you one but I have the Cobra75WXST CB. It is a unit that mounts in the dash and all you have in the cab is a mic with all the controls on it,

It is a very clean look and works amazingly well. I am a little hard of hearing and it still sounds clear a bell to me.

Sorry I was not more help

be carefully ordering RE springs. I ordered a 3.5in lift kit from them, and I'm sitting at 4.5in of lift. and this is after it settled. I even have a spare tire and a hilift in the back. They aren't on a big steel bumper, but I'm sure they weight more than the backbone system and winch. RE shouldnt sag like the RC springs.

I love the build so far and I really love the way that CB is set up. The thing that always bothered me about CBs in the cab is that they are a target for car theives. if its hidden in the dash like that, theres nothing to steal, and you save space. I'm definitely looking into that CB! You have a great Cherokee!!!

If you wouldn't mind taking a picture, I would appreciate it! I have that same radio (sorry if I wasn't clear in my original post), and want some ideas on where people mounted the receiver box and also the mic. Can't seem to find too many photos of this cb around.
