If that's the only thing keeping you from coming, you can use my handheld! I'll add you to the maybe list.

Well right now I left the Craigslist guy a voicemail. He's selling his never used Cobra 29 LX for $60.

Never heard from the craigslist guy, but found the exact CB on eBay. Just have to get my antenna and mount.

Any reason not to buy it new on Amazon or something? With the plans you have for this rig, seems like a weird place to cut corners.

They are a reputable dealer. Amazon, and Cobra both were more. Plus it comes with a 60 day return policy if I decide I don't like it.

Gotcha. For some reason I assumed it was used. My bad. Carry on!

Oh you're good. I'm the same way. I won't buy used unless it comes with a factory warranty, and is something that isn't major like an axel or lift kit component.

What antenna did you get? I got the Cobra 21" CB Radio Antenna with Magnetic Mount for my first antenna. I figured it would work for my first antenna. Plan on mounting it up front just above the hood near the windshield on the passenger side.

So the colors that we like are Black, Red, Orange,Yellow, Lime, or Blue.
On a side note. I plan on buying all those colors listed above, but wasn't sure what color to buy first.
What color do you guys think should be Jack's first hat?

Update on Jack's upgrades. The Cobra antenna was complete crap. I will be returning it. My best friend, Tigger (her Jeep name) gave me a Firestik KW4 that she won in a contest. We mounted it on to the third brake light sense mine is steel. I am just waiting on a Firestik heavy duty spring and antenna cable that I ordered.
I was looking at lifts again and would like your opinions on the Rubicon Express 2.5 Inch Suspension Lift Kit with Twin Tube Shocks. I've seen people on here running Rubicon Express lifts, and wanted to know if they are a good company for someone not doing too much hardcore running. I really like the EVO MFG 3″ ENFORCER but it's coming down to cost right now. Should I wait, save my money, and get the EVO or go ahead and get the Rubicon Express?
As always, all opinions are welcome.

Personally I am very glad I saved for the enforcer. It has a great ride quality (completely personal opinion). You do step into more upgrades by doing the 3" lift that you should be aware of. Driveshafts, control arms, draglink flip, etc. But all in all I am very happy with the enforcer.

Like I said earlier in this post. I am new to all of this. So that leads me to this question. Why do you have to change out the driveshafts with a 3" lift? Also what all is needed to be changed out with a larger lift?

My understanding is that it's thinner (so better clearance, no rubbing issues on exhaust) and stronger. I'm looking at doing something similar to my Jeep, but hoping to go to 37s. All the guys on 37s will tell you they wish they'd just gone straight to that rather than building it twice: once for 35s and then again for 37s.

A new driveshaft is needed for that much lift because when you lift the vehicle, the angle of the driveshaft causes the boot to get snagged and tear. After the boot is torn, there's no telling how long it will be before the driveshaft fails. I went with a 1310 driveshaft because of increased clearance and I don't see myself going to 37s anytime soon. You will also need extended brake lines, adjustable front lower control arms, and you would start thinking of a draglink flip. The front lower control arms allow you to correct your caster after the lift. The enforcer comes with everything you need minus a front driveshaft and shocks.

The drive shaft upgrade will have ujoints instead of a rzeppa joint. The design eliminates the boot problem stated above.

Can your elaborate more on the ETC part? I'm trying to put an exact parts list needed. So from what you said earlier. I need a drive shaft, drag link flip, and control arm. Is that all needed even if I get the EVO 3" lift?

What you should do is go with the full enforcer kit and it'll come with everything you need except shocks[emoji106]
. I personally haven't done the draglink flip, but will soon. If you're on a more tight budget, don't order the draglink flip. My steering doesn't bother me a bit. But definitely something that I will attend to.

Awesome thanks for all the assistance. I'm trying to do all the research on my own but something are hard to google some things without know what to google.
So this is the kit that I want. EVO 4" Enforcer
Here is an Evo draglink Flip
Any recommendations on a driveshaft?
