Some times the experience gained in building something out wieghs the cost of it compared to normally available items.

Sometimes, you have to think, that perhaps, the most durable, heavy duty item on the markette, is really, not needed for the way you wheel.

It's ok to say "My jeep can't do that" because in reality "YOU wouldn't do that".

This is a concept that is hard to accept sometimes, as we would all like to have a bullet proof jeep.

But if you KNEW you would NEVER EVER leave the street but wanted a lift for looks.. would you buy a long arm kit and all the whistles or simply some spring spacers.. and save the money for polish.

What alot of people need to do is this:

Stop:
Think exactly what you WILL DO.
Disregard what you "might one day do" (which is never)
And research/build towards that end.

It tooke me a lot of pride swallowing to do this, but I"m glad I have patient friends who help me think of these things.
