    A little birdie told me that we might be seeing some EVO parts for the Renegade in the near future

    How near we talking Wayalife? Should I start penching my pennies now?

    Hoping for a metal bumper, but probably too much to ask. And since you just went with the DayStar sliders probably not sliders...

    Mel asked us what was needed for the Renegade and among other things, a replacement front bumper that opens up the front tires for a better approach was at the top of my list.

    Sorry, no ETA as of yet. But, we have been having some discussions about bigger lifts. The only concern is whether or not you guys would be willing to spend the kind of money that's needed to get into the real stuff.

    Would I ever try to turn it into a OHV? I doubt it. Would I spend a decent chunk making it capable, your damn right I would. That being said I'm not sure how much $ I would throw at it, I don't know it could replacey fire arm hobby so quite a bit I guess lol.

    I'm more looking for something to get some extra juice out of the TH engine. Just drove a fully loaded TH 1500 km (including 3 bikes on the rear rack) from the east coast of Canada up and down hills back to Toronto. It was in 5th gear for most of the time BC anything higher and it just lost speed. Was missing the 3.6 in my JK big time. Sucks gas but never a lack of power.

    Am I going to scrap what I have done and start over? Not likely, but I would like to get the last couple pieces to finish what I started. Maybe down the road if overtime comes back into play. I would like to quit dodging things because I can't get to it clean without doing damage. A new front bumper would be something I am looking for.

    My man! The bumper and bigger lift would both make these Jeeps much more capable. But like you said, the price will be up there. Im assuming longer arms and driveshaft, among other things would be needed for much more lift than what you already have?

    Same here. If they came out with a bumper I would jump all over that in a heartbeat. A bigger lift would be really nice, but costs will be high. Plus, since I already have the DayStar lift I probably wont be swapping it out, as it fits my needs as is.

    I am sure I am just one of many... waiting for the right lift, which in my humble opinion should be more than 1.5 inches. So I am waiting to see when Madness will have their 2 inch available and / or what Evo will offer. Are there any others out there?

    I would love to see a supercharger for the 2.4L or even a turbo kit. Small boost, just enough. I would even like to see some better LED light solutions and little gadgets.
