I am retiring in a few months and building a expedition type Jeep.
*The skid was added for a little extra protection when out in the middle of no place or just down the road.
*Lift was added to give just a little extra clearance, I pick MetalCloak because of a deal I found and that it was more of a complete kit, wheel travel is great and the ride is a good as I could expect.
*I added the S-Pod light switch is a great way to keep the switches nice and neat
*rear seat has been tilted back a little to make more comfortable
*RuddgeRidge hood locks

to come:
*Viair air system with a 2 gal tank
*ARB front bumper, using the KC daylights I already have
*small A-pillar lights
*AEV rear bumper with fuel caddy and hi-jack lift
*heaters in the rear seats for friends
*Engo winch or some other
*some type of rear deck cover for security
*????

The Jeep has been a great so far (knock on wood), More than expected, Like getting around 19-22MPG on the highway and I want to keep as much MPG as possible. So far the lift hasn't changed that. Tire upgrades will be to a 285/70/17 or something close to that.

Nice looking rig. Just moved from Rio Rancho in July. Miss wheeling out there. Enjoy retirement. About 10 more in Navy for me. Retire with 30 and not work anymore.
