I / we never really got to officially thank everyone on here for the help with my stock flat tire blow out so Ill take this moment now to say thank you to everyone who helped us change out the tire. Thanks to that trip, we are now the proud parents of a bouncing set of 5 new wheels and an already loved bumper and stinger. We are already eying a 3" lift and rock rash guards, armor, and a few minor mods as well. That should get us up to speed for the next trip.

I have some thoughts on everyone getting involved in the work but all in all the work got done, no one lost body parts, and I /we very thankful for the help and the learning experience.

Outstanding! The new wheels, tires, and bumper look niiiiiiice. Is that Dutchboy's XHD bumper?

NNNIIIIIIIICCCCCCEEEEE!!!!!!!

Looks Great!

Winning! that was a great deal. Congrats!

Sorry Dave, I know you showed interest, but Renny showed up with a wad of cash. Hard to turn that down.

Hey, no hard feelings guys. I should have stayed in touch. I prolly would have done the same thing if I were in your shoes, Sascha. That was a heck of a deal and I should have jumped on it. I'm just glad that it worked out.

I'm now looking at other alternatives such as PSC Brawler Lite, Hanson Stubby, LOD Stubby, and other Rugged Ridge XHD's on other forums. I really like the LOD, but the $$$$! The PSC and Hanson look similar, but I like the PSC a bit more. The XHD is actually my third choice. For a brief spell I was looking at the Smittybilt XHD M.O.D., but the stubby section doesn't support factory fogs, so bye-bye Smittybilt.

Looks Badass Renny. Thanks for tellin me about the forum! We met at the air Station on sun. The 89 YJ behind the black Chevy. Hope to see I at the beach run.

Man that was a fun trip! Renny we gotta hang out before I leave the states!
