Our only criticism of the Full-Traction long-arm suspension is the crossmember/front control-arm mount. It's situated perfectly to hit when we drop off a ledge. The suspension's pluses outnumber this one minus though.
We plan on replacing the Jeep Trail Guide GPS. After all, the holes are already there. We also plan on some other interior upgrades we'll keep you updated on in future issues. The stock AM/FM/CD player is quickly going to be replaced with a Jeep head unit that has Sirius satellite radio.
A long-arm suspension is supposed to make a difference off-road. The Full-Traction long arm may be the best suspension we've ever driven with on the road. The JK tracks and corners much better than it did stock and is a real pleasure to drive. It works well off-highway too, although we need to adjust the Off Road Evolution hydraulic bumpstops - something we'll do when we get the larger tires mounted. The only negative point about the Full-Traction long-arm kit is the crossmember/front lower control-arm mount that drops below the frame. It sits exactly at the point where we hit it when dropping the front tires off a ledge. It's lucky that Full-Traction makes all bracketry so strong.
The Green Machine is just about ready to go again. The improvements made to it have made it a better Jeep, both on- and off-road. We're going to enjoy driving it as a daily driver and on the trail. We'll keep you informed of our progress with it as we use it and other changes are made.
 The Pure Jeep stubby front bumper looks great. It allows our Warn PowerPlant HP to sit between the framerails where it doesn't cover much of the JK's grille. The PowerPlant is both a 9,500-pound winch and a powerful air compressor that delivers 12 cfm at 0 psi. |  35x12.50R17LT BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tires are mounted on 17x9 American Eagle alloy wheels that OMF beadlocked. We plan on larger tires soon. |  The new Pure Jeep JK rocker guards wrap up around the lower doors for strength and bolt to the body mounts. These are much stronger than before and will protect the Green Machine when we're wallowing in rocks or forests. |
 The rearend has 4.88 gears and a Dynatrac cover. Full-Traction front and rear track bars are fully adjustable. In our opinion, suspension systems aren't complete without adjustable track bars. |  |  |
