Well, It has been many months since I have posted due to all the crap it seems better now. Back ground review, my 04 TJ is mainly stock with a recent winch installation, short shift install, 46K on the odometer, original 15-30x9.5 tires still have enough tread for this winter new skins in the spring, long with lift and new shocks. In 4 more months the TJ will be mine that is always a nice feeling. The entire inside of the TJ is bed lined with a do it yourself kit. It has held up very well and has gotten many complements. I will be using the winch today to pull some logs up a hill to where I can cut and split them another benny not just for getting unstuck. This past summer we went to Sedona for vacation and good friend is a mucky-muck in the Park Service there. He issued me a special off road permit so we did not have to take the tours in the pink jeeps. What a blast one of the most beautiful parts of the country we have visited. Yes, we drove out from Maryland and went off road in other areas had 3 weeks to use or lose and I will not lose. Take care keep the wheels down
