    Right on - the gray wire mod is ALOT of fun. I did it in 10 mins... Easy peasy. For the soft top, I don't think bestop makes a version for 1st gen. Your only option (to my knowledge) is softopper

    Truck looks great man. Reminds me of my truck when I first got her. It's very clean! I have the same exact truck as you. Definitely take peoples advice on here and do the mods right the first time. I've learned from experience. Also really really try to do all the maintenance and fixes yourself. That way, you really truly get to know your truck inside and out.
    Here's my truck a while back...

    Rene,
    Thanks for the inspiration, that's how I hope mine looks when I'm done w/her.

    Rob,
    Thank you, been spending lots of time on TW - learned a lot in my short time here. I can't wait to attend meet/trails runs etc.

    :cool:

    I have mine still from my truck that I took off prolly on day 1 and I've just never put it back on since. Mine just chills in my closet. Not a scratch on it. Mind sharing with me what you paid for yours?

    Nice! I was wondering about that area. I drive through there when visiting my parents. About how long was the trail?

    It's awesome there, we love it. We hit up the 4x4 practice section too, it was a blast but we didn't get any pics or video ....bummed, but it gives me an excuse to go back so that's cool.
    The land is huge and there are quite a few trails you can take, I would at the longest loop would take you about 1.5 hrs to do. I'm guessing but it seems right. I highly recommend stopping by when you're in the neighborhood next time, you won't be disappointed.
