Sorry about the lights! Quick questions... Do you have frame stiffeners? And do you run limitingstraps? I've been fallowing your rig on this forum and others for a while now. One of my favorites!

Thanks. They are just lights so not a big deal. Frame stiffeners from HD engineering is in the future. Just not yet. I don't have limiting straps as well. Thought about it but just never added them. Just good bump stopping.

Have you ever/think you will ever "need" limiting straps? Do your coils ever come close to popping out? What are your thoughts on the HD engineering stiffeners. I like that you can get the front/middle/rear kit for the price of ruffstuff or TNT main and front. But it worries me that they are only 1/8 inch thick I think. But it does seem better that the HDEngineering ones have holes drilled to plug weld. I don't know. I'm thinking about getting some this spring but I'm torn between the companies:/
You seem like you know what your doing? What do you think?

As far as the frame stiffies. I would def. go HD Engineering. Is stuff is pure BEEF. His prices are great. Brian is a great guy to work with. And like you said, for the same price you can get the whole thing done. I like TNT stuff put its over priced IMHO. Ruffstuff are probably good to, but I personally would go HD's.

Some photos from today. Since I wasn't able to make the WI4x4 winter run due to money and some issues with my jeep I didn't want to be to far from home. Went out to some private trails again.

Got my new 1-ton tie rods in. Got the knuckles drilled to accept the teraflex inserts. Got my new Iron Man trac bar installed and replaced a tranny line. Tranny line may still be leaking so I must suck haha. No pictures because I forgot my camera and it was late.
Trying to get as ready as I can for Winterfest the first weekend in March.
