now imagine that with no window or top doing 75 down i5 in the rain. it was really fun bringing it home though i had to drive from molalla to my house like that. i got a few wtf looks from the cops along the way but amazingly didnt get pulled over with expired tags, no window, and no mirrors.

i decided to order a few more things today. i got the front and rear bumpers ordered for the jk today and ordered the polyperformance cage kit for the tj. and through pirate may have found a fullwidth 44 front and 9" rear that are already set up for a tj with the brackets and everything. i figure i could run those for a while on some 38"s or 39"s then i will swap in 60's before i go to moab and the rubicon.
