I bought my Dad a nice Eastwood Plasma Cutter last Christmas and he loves it. I swear I think he just looks for stuff to cut with it.

Not sure yet Chris. 31s are cheap. The ones on there are a road tread and still have plenty of life left but they're starting to dry rot. We're thinking of selling it in the near future so we can get property but if I can find a good deal for some all terrains I'll go with that just for the apparent value. That's really the reason I got the lift kit, lifted jeeps sell faster.
Only major things I had left are get the front driveshaft retubed (dented) and replace the hvac controls. I've got a toggle switch run for the heater bypass right now. I was.hoping to put a/c in it but I think that would be a break even as far as value. Right now I could get 5500 for it. Think I've only got 4500 into it.

Plastidipped my rear valence to see if I'd like it better blacked out. As I figured, I do. Once the weather warms up I'll peel it and spray it with something permanent.

I'm not too big on CF. I like the look, but I feel like it's just done too much. Maybe it's just me. I don't have it anywhere else on the car.

Well you could wrap the piece in black still to keep it revertable.

True. I'll have to see how much that'll cost. But I was wanting to get my hood vents wrapped black anyways so no big deal

I would just buy the take off's. I bought mine from newtakeoff's store on Ebay. $99 and you can swap back anytime and sell the black ones pretty easy.

Gah the only thing I want from the premiums is the rear bumper. I want to be able to choose diffusers. Really liking the RTR one.
