    Cool thanks, I figured as much but when i used the used parts locator website, and put in 06 they only give you 05-09 parts.

    Murph nailed it. Didn’t mean to be dick, if you like them by all means shop there. I’ve just personally not had good dealing with them. That plus the fact that literally everything in their store is significantly more expensive than anywhere else has turned me away for good. In my opinion they are a Jeep Wrangler with a 4 inch lift on 35’s with a rigid light bar kinda place, anyone else isn’t part of their clique

    This is true, when I last talked with them it was inferred that it wasn't their plan, but that the clientele, mostly mall crawlers, have steered them in this direction. Gotta make the cheese to stack it. I buy Rhino-rack and ARB through them, and they have a road force balancer. The dented up armor brought out their true colors, and most everyone came out to look. They do have some good sales, but their web presence needs help, and they have also have in-store sales that are not advertised to keep up the foot traffic.

    Their place is close to my office, so I stop by every few months. It's probably worth stopping by if you are passing through on 78. The last time I stopped in they had a set of 40 swampers for 800. Somebody bought them and drove them for a month before buying a different set, nubs had not yet worn off.

    Stuff the batteries some where else, under or in the bed being the top choices. Get that weight off the fenders, and free up room in the engine bay.

    I'm putting mine under the bed, but that will cost me the oem spare location.

    Once I get my OBA and dual battery installed I'm building a 3 tire capable tire gate. That should do it for a long weekend.

    i get it. i had them do my rear leafs, and they did a cab mount chop and fitted my wheels and tires. went to them two times. I mean they have a good selection, but hell yeah, they were not willing to budge on prices. their winches and lights are significantly more than every one else. i guess its an acquired taste. they do get a lot of business from guys fresh off the jeep lots.

    Jim, the owner built a good business. He seems to be doing well with service. I think any one of us would dream to have a place like that. They are nice guys, I know them personally. They also have some great deals. Got my ARB twin from them for a steal. I’d trust them with my truck but my ass would be puckered the whole time I was wondering what the service would cost. I thought about asking them to do a snorkel for me but I ah e a feeling it’s going to cost me a G.
