    Hmm. I've seen a taco grill in a runner but never vice versa. This should be interesting...
    I stand corrected
    I've been told to do those around every 7500 miles. It's an easy enough thing so I don't mind. Much easier than replacing a U-joint.
    Damnnnnn that guy flew. Interesting how he landed
    I definitely agree with you on that!

    I don't know. I need to get in touch with them, hoping to do that in a couple weeks. This was a one off for a guy in CO, hoping I can talk them into doing another one. I think I would like to add some holes for offroad lights in the bumper.

    That is an option. I am probably going to have them install my lift so hopefully I can get everything done in one shot.

    The lift isnt too bad to do yourself. There are really only 2 bolts I can think of that power tools are nice.

    I have all sorts of tips if you want them.

    #1 Cut the f*&king rear shocks off to start with.

    I just have the space to do it. I don't have a garage and my brother in law has never worked on his cars. So I don't want to take up their garage. I have done the lift on my Grand Cherokee and it wasn't too bad, but took us about 2 days to get everything on.

    Sounds about right. I spent way longer that I should have on one and the other just snapped. Lol

    First time I went off-roading I snapped it. O well figured it was time for a lift after that.

    For you guys that take your Runners camping - what do you do with your propane or fuel bottles? Wasn't something I gave a lot of thought to before as I just left them in the bed of my truck but I don't like leaving the fuel in the Runner on a hot summer day while I'm out hiking or whatever. I was "hiding" the propane bottles on top of the tire on the shady side of the rig and eventually started stowing them in my cooler. Any other ideas?

    I planning on storing them in a big. It shouldn't get hot enough stored in a bin to cause any damage.
