[QUOTE="ScepterToad, post: 458709, member: 25142"] Did an intro thread over in the general forum, but this will be my build/maintenance thread for the Scepter Toad. '17 4 door sport in Rhino (grey?) with a hard top. Primary function will be a daily while I continue work on my '03 Ford Excursion that I Cummins swapped a few years back. Clifford is a great ride and I love him dearly, but being a rust belt truck, he's getting a little long in the tooth. Other primary reason is to flat tow behind out Holiday Rambler Scepter 40PDQ. I set the X up to flat tow but decided that at 8,000+ pounds that it was just a bit much. On a short trip, not bad, but anything out west would be more worry than it's worth. The kids are all out of the house, so we no longer need room for 4 kids plus friends. Just us and 2 dogs for the most part. Anyway, the Jeep is lifted 3" best I can measure, has all the aftermarket goodies, and will need a few more modifications to make it truly mine. Here's what I'm thinking, and in no particular order: 1. Soft top 2. Re-gear from 3.21 to probably 4.10 (I'd certainly take input on that running 35s). Probably lockers. 3. Woolwax everywhere. There's no rust on it, yet, and I'd like to keep it that way 4. Misc goodies for doors off riding (mirrors and pegs to start) 5. Tow bar setup for the coach (have the tow bar and brake system, just need the attachment point and wiring) 6. Different LED lighting. Mine isn't great, and half of them don't work. 7. Full size spare. The wheel matches, but the tire is a 33. 8. Get rid of the MTs in favor of ATs, not sure what brand just yet. 9. Maybe a different grill. The one on it looks fine, I just think it could have a bit more air flow given there's a winch blocking a lot of area. 10. New exhaust, maybe. It currently has the flowmaster duals and is a bit loud for my taste. The X is a 4" straight pipe and covers me in the loud exhaust department. That's all I can think of at this point, but I'm sure I'll remake this list as time goes on. [ATTACH=full]124521[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
