Thanks.
I have new seats and some offroad lights to install.
I don't think it's going any higher than it is, but I'll probably do a swingout tire carrier and maybe some trail armor this summer.

I've been looking for a Tcase skid and front hooks for mine. The search isn't going well, I've been to half a dozen junkyards as well as searched Craigslist in half a dozen states, and I haven't found anything. Might have to go with new parts, which was something I'm not looking forward to paying for.

I have factory chrome hooks I took off an XJ if you're intersted. I'd have to check my sisters ZJ to see if they would fit, they were mounted on the front brace across the unibody and the ends of them lined up with the bumper, they looked pretty slick. But I've got my D-rings so I don't really have a use for them. I'll see if I can find a pic.

I'm almost 100% positive that the hooks I need are ZJ specific, but feel free to check that out if you have the time.

I was at the Easter Jeep Safari this year with WARN. What an amazing place. I did a bit of driving on "Behind The Rocks." Mostly rode along, though.
My dad has an '01 XJ, too.

I'm thinking of putting a stinger on my bumper with a light bar this summer. Good idea??</TD></TR></TABLE>
Ehh I really don't like how those look. Maybe I just don't really understand what they're for either though haha.

They're extremely useful for steep ascent and descents, keeps you from tipping over. They also help minimize front end damage if you roll over. I don't anticipate much of either, I'm just trying to find somewhere to mount the lights that won't kill my air flow. I don't really want to do a light bar either, They'd probably just end up getting ripped off by branches.

Gotcha.
I was thinking of doing a light bar too, but I manage to remind myself why that's a bad idea every time I go wheeling. It seems that all of the trails I run are always a few inches too narrow haha.
