    A pretty day here in SE Texas, so I gave the Silver Fox a bath. I’m happy!

    Love how they match my hood latch too!

    I did an oil change and tire rotation on my rig today. It was thoroughly enjoyed to work on it for a while. Needless to say but my rig has been kinda neglected lately lol.

    Nice looking EXPO rig man!! Start up a thread and introduce yourself to the forum. Maybe even do a build thread for what you've accomplished so far

    Changed my oil again today.

    I do need to give her another wash, these lovebugs are crazy down here!

    Will do it on the weekend after I pressure wash the gutters on the house.

    Finally a nice mid range rear bumper.
    Solid D Ring mounts. Reverse light mounts. One of the nicest rear bumpers I've seen yet. Hence....why I bought it..

    Also, to say I did something to the Jeep this week I added coaster rings to the cup holders. Install time was 5min only because I had to trim the 2 front ones to fit.

    Quadratecs. With my discount. Less than 250. If you remove stock bumper, all it's hardware, and tow hook. 5 minutes. Seriously.....slides right in. And no pun intended.....:cool:. Solid steel. Welded mounts. I really like it.

    Looking at a lift. How hard would the install be to do on my own?

    Would I need to get new shocks as well?

    Considering the 2.5" Rough Country lift

    More than likely you would need longer shocks just to keep from over extending the stock shocks when you are off road or even on a shitty highway like we have in ohio lol. I've heard of numerous people who are mechanically inclined tackling their own lift install in their driveway. I'm sure you can get it done with some other mechanically inclined friends and beer in no time at all

    Concur with the recommendation for new longer shocks. My recommendation is to buy a more complete 2.5 lift kit with shocks that match the spring rate design and other components. Look beyond RC as this is not a project you want to repeat anytime soon. Check offerings from RK, RE, TF etc

    What 2.5" lift kit would you guys recommend that's similar in price to Rough Country or won't break the bank.....?

    I just really like the inner RC fenders. Any rule against getting RC inners with different lift? Would that look stupid? Lol
