Welcome to the club John! With all that time and effort put into the engine and transmission, you'll have to get some protection for the body and get out and use that thing!
2005 TJ, built and beat accordingly

Welcome John. There is an NEA open run this Saturday to help raise money for purchasing land to wheel on. It's a good place to meet jeepers and see what others have done to there rigs, plus hit a few trails. Ill be there if you go look for the tan CJ7 on oversized tires. Check out the event section for details. Mark

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words ! no recovery hooks on yet ! So probably will not be allowed on trails. I know should of been the first think I did. but going to put a trailer hitch on the back so I can pull center and saving up for a winch mount front bumper ! but thinking of swinging by this weekend and asking questions from all you experienced guys!

Most guys dont use a trailer hitch type hook point as it sticks out more and departure angle is way worse. The front will also need at least one tow point , not just the winch. Might seam like over kill , but you will need them at some point ! FjR68
