You will love the HID lights, when off road, I am currently running 2 in each head light and 3 on my bumper and boy do they light up the trails at night.
Truth! Every time I winch it seems I have to realign it in the shop.

I picked up my Discovery 3 weeks ago with the new bumper already installed on it, the lift springs and shocks all had less then 300 miles on them as did the tires. I paid less for the discovery then those parts cost combined

Yes lets go wheeling soon! You up for southington park next saturday?? Is there any legal place to go around here?

You need to make it to the Summer Safari at The Wilds near Zaneville, OH. I made it last year and a great event. It is the weekend of Jun 14-16, 2013

That looks pretty good man! I'm interested to see how that winch holds up. I've heard different reviews, so I'm curious. Starting to think about which to put on mine.

Checked it out last night... looks like I'll have to come down and check it out. Have you ever checked into Wayne national forest? Don't know if we can wheel our Rovers down there but I've ridden MX and quads there and its awesome!! Need to put up a northeast Ohio thread and see what we got for guys and do some runs.

Not too familiar with the National Forest lands in Ohio at all. Last year was my first trip into Ohio ever. It was about a 6 hr trip one way for me to get to the event, but hope to make it this June as well.

Keep us updated on how the HF winch holds up. I have heard mixed reviews but I'm really curious as to how it will hold up after extended use. If it can do what a Warn does for a fraction of the price, I'm sold.

You have an awesome rig there man!
