Haha if ya lived near me I'd definitely help. I love washin cars but I'm too OCD for wax because for the past two days, all I've been doing is going over it again and again with towels, Q-Tips, and toothpicks...

Here are some pics of it cleaned and of the subs I installed recently. Pics don't do the wax justice (still learning best way to shoot with my DSLR). As for the lift, as soon as possible - a lift and tires are next on my list, but I can't decide on which brand to get... Everyone always tells me all these CONS about each brand that it's hard to choose.

Added them in a separate reply. I know what tires I want to get, the lift is what's causing me decision problems. I'll most likely go with 32 BFG A/T KOs... Dad just got some 30s for the Wrangler and they look BA.

My dad had these on a F350 work truck that weighed in at at least 8,000lbs. He loved them. If you don't mud you'll be fine. I've heard they have a tendency to hydroplane because they don't have the grooves like a street tire does. So be careful

Well when I offroad it's usually mudding... haha figures. But I don't want Mud Terrains because it's mainly and ON-road vehicle.

Thanks! Never waxed a car before so I'm glad it turned out well. The only problem I'm having is figuring out how to get it off the door handles..

4.5 inch lift for sure. Looking at Zone, Rustys, and Rough Country, although Rough Country is probably not an option because of all the bad things I've heard about them. Also making sure not to get AALs. Would a full leaf pack or some leafs and a shackle be better? I saw something like that on Zone or Rusty's website.

Go full leaf packs and you wont regret it. Add a leafs tend to sag if your springs are a bit worn out.
