Even before the sale of the scrambler I had planned a new vehicle that would be able to tackle trails like Blanca and Holycross, and hit the streets without any drawbacks. I wanted the wife to be able to take it to work if she neede and I could go bash with the Zombies, I knew I wanted 35 to 37 inch tires, fully locked rear and selectable front. !st step was getting the jeep, a basic unlimited 2 door, auto, in good shape. (Found it in texas), next was a 1.25 JKS bl and a 1inch currie MML. I was able to sell my old spyderlocks for some new rims (thanks frank) and gained some cash and found some MTRS (thanks Bob and Darrell)(35/12.5/15). Also found a smoking deal on a soft top so now i have dual tops hard and soft, Bumpers at this time are some curries (Thanks Bob). Now comes the fun part, TnT is going to TREK it OUT. All I know is it will have 4.5 springs, ylink arms, belly pan/skid plus other goodies. I have had Bob and Matts products on the scrambler and they held up to my abuse, By far the best suspension products out there, bar none. A SYE will also be installed. I will post more on the suspension kit when I know more but it is always up to Bob and his wisdom on what comes and goes. I have trusted him with the scrambler and the addition of the twins and now am excited to go back to TnT. Should have some pics to follow. See some of you at Chile Challange.

If you dont mind me asking, how come your not doing any of this yourself? Sounds like over all it'll be a fun rig though....

I don"t think Bob trusts me. When he saw some of my welds he made me made me sell my welder:D, I know he doesn't want to see me use any hand tools. He also knows I would allow the twins to help and that is just not good....
