    that wont work. If you turn it backwards, it moves the opposite direction as oposed to before. For instance, if it faces tot he rear to begin with, turning to the right moves the arm to the right. placing it on backwards and doing the same movement would move the arm to the left. Not bad if you dont mind steering to the left and turning to the right, but I don't think I would like that.

    You could also mount the box under the crossmember, but you need a 2 1/2" lift for that.

    new anti-theft devise? someone steals the jeep goes to turn right so he/she can go with traffic and turns headon into it :shock: only problem would be if the jeep is not your DD then you might make the same mistake.
