Thanks all.
4:10's were installed by the previous owner, who started to gear it up but had a chance to buy a Defender 90 to replace the one he rolled a year before
Lift, wheels and tires are in the garage waiting for me to pay attention to them.
Silver is not anywhere near my favorite color but the LJ was to good a deal to pass up. When I got it in Oct. it only had 12,000 miles on it. We thought aout getting a JK unlimited but all the stuff of my 98 would bolt on the LJ while I would have to buy new crap for the JK. Green is the natural coloring of the jeep species.
My wife and I built the Cabin in 2000 and every piece of wood in the house was sawn and milled by my own hands at our family lumbermill. Its a larch (tamarack is another species name) cabin.

PhulesAU, you could get the Unlimited in green, a god awful electric green straight out of some tuner car hell.
I got to use my winch for the 1st time today. The neighbor, a couple miles down the road came knockin' lookin for a hand. His elderly mother pulled into his driveway but with the new snow on the ground she missed it, drove about thirty feet in the saturated yard and buried her Crown Vic up to the rockers. He only had a 10' chain and when he backed into the yard to hook em up, buried his Toy. Normally I'd use my Dodge to yank em out but took as a sign from the accessory gods as an opportunity to try out the Warn. Pulled the Taco out with a yank strap and then hooked the cable to the Vic and yanked her back the way she came. No sweat. Then we drove the Vic back to my house ansd pressure washed the mud off the Ford for her. She was about in tears, not because she got stuck but that she didn't want to drive a muddy car to Square Dancing tonight.
In the last week we went from temps in the mid 20' with 2' of snow in the woods, to 70 dgrees where all the snow melted and with 2.5 or rain we had major flooding. Now were back in the 20's with 8 inches of new snow, good gravy I can't wait for Spring.
