[QUOTE="KarlVP, post: 791447, member: 16136"] How many of you (primarily the Jeep YJ/TJ crowd) Would rather buy a "bolt on" acessory instead of making it yourself. Myself, I don't have a shop. When I do want to work on my rig, I have to use someone else's place, thier tools etc... With My TJ there are too many bolt on mods that actually work, but to me, well worth the money. I don't want to inconvienance the shop owner(s) by having my junk taking up space in thier shop while I am fiddling with things. I can just buy a kit and slap it on in a day or two. Case in point. When I did my 8.8 install, I could have spent all day making brackets for the suspension links. Instead, I just bougt a kit from M.O.R.E. and modified it to my liking. This saved me a whole day of fabrication, but cost me $300. We got the whole axle installed in a day. This includes the r&p steup with locker and such. But on the other hand, this takes some of the personalization out of things. Plus, everyone and thier brother can buy this stuff, half ass slapping it on, and go wheeling while looking good doing it. What's your take, spend the time and effort to make a custom "one off" rig. Or buy the kit and go wheeling tomorrow? [/QUOTE]
