What do you need recovery hooks and lockers for if all you do is park it and wash it? Sorry, maybe I'm just jealous. That is one beautiful rig, but I'd be wheeling it like crazy.

it's only been a couple months give the guy a break lol.

Some people build it before wheeling it, as opposed to building it while wheeling it. Recovery is a pretty important "pre-wheeling" thing to add.

Yeah. I suppose, if you know what you're doing, then you build it all at once. I am one of those that didn't/don't know much about what is best, so I learn as I go. But I love wheeling, so it's hard to keep me back when there is a capable rig sitting in my garage.

I love wheeling too, but it's not something I can just drive out and do all the time since it's more than an hour away to the nearest public wheeling area and I have budget limitations since I financed the payments for all of my lift kit items. This makes the gas expenses unbearable, at least until I pay this off.

Rain cleans my Jeep for me, so I can't really complain.

One thing that is for sure is that I enjoy adding parts to my Jeep whether I will use them or not. I'm sure there are many people that will never use their spare tire, however if you end up getting caught without it when you really need it, then you're in a really bad position. I think many will agree that this analogy fits with the recovery equipment as well.

Lol. More likely that I bumped my head on a rock while wheeling.

I also have a habit of whacking my kneecap on the floor/rock slider area when getting into my Jeep in a hurry.
