Hello everyone,

Back in September '10 got my TB (2007, 4wd) and haven't had a regret since. Found my way to Trailvoy.com right away and then of course here. A bit about myself, I'm from the western suburbs by Batavia and Naperville. My TB will be seeing dirt (has seen some already) and have been doing the research on what I plan to do with mods. First thing on my list is Mark's 2.5" Suspension lift and 1.5" spacers with 255/75/17 Good year wrangler Silent Armors. I've already made some new crossbars (1.25" square steel) for transporting my kayak to the rivers and lakes that I go to and plan to go to. Ultimately, my goal with my TB is to create a multipurpose (D-D) vehicle capable of off-road traveling for camping, fishing, hunting and general exploration of the wilderness areas. I have already planned to make a trip in the next year up to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan as well as a trip out to Arizona for the trails and grand canyon. Some of the other mods on my list include replacing the front bumper with one of the steel ones, a light bar on the roof to add with the cargo basket that I am planning to get this summer as well.

The cross bars were just taken from the light bar project that others have done.

Hi.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.
