I'm chomping at the bit to outfit my latest Cherokee. Work and home keeps me extremely busy, and I don't really have much of a budget to work with at the moment.
In any case, I have the OME suspension ready to install, but I want to wait until spring and run the stock tires down more through winter before I get a slightly larger set. I also need to pick up a fixed output yoke conversion and some shims to tip the rear pinion up a little for a new double-cardan rear driveshaft setup.
What isn't quite as foreseeable is the ARB bumper suite I want to install on the front - Warn winch, 800XS lights, and my radio antenna. I could really use the front recovery point, too.
I can't forget rocker armor. Its not as high on my list as it should be. Every time I put off rocker armor, I regret it - but I have a bit more restraint nowadays, and I'm no longer that active at the off-road park, so it shouldn't be a problem.
There's still more that I want to do, but after this basic equipment, I'll be ready to be more adventurous with the vehicle.
Around here, if you want to drive off-highway, you're going to a pay-to-play location such as Rausch Creek Off-Road Park, or Paragon Adventure Park. These are both sizable plots of land, but not nearly as vast or as interesting as the wide open spaces I've seen pictured out west. Its really quite frustrating.
I'm long overdue for an exploratory road trip out west. Its almost a dream to drive out west, or go on a long cross-country trip with off-highway destinations. It must seem silly, since many of you folks aren't far from these interesting locations as you read this.
As a matter of fact, I was just showing my wife, Jen, pictures of some pacific northwest scenery that I saw on another forum, and I asked her if she'd be interested in moving. Unfortunately, she's very close to her roots around here - which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
