someone seems to have installed a new lift and tires on my Jeep...

I need to test how everything works or if anything doesn't work, so I would like to run Kodachrome with some people. if you're available post up.

I'm thinking Tuesday the 24th. Meet up at 9:30 am at I think it's an AM/PM on Hollywood road. roll at 10. channel 4.

How much taller did your Jeep grow? It looks good with the exception of those mud flaps :lol: You still waiting on those to get ripped off on the trail?

I totally keep forgetting about the mudflaps!!


it's weird driving the thing now. not bad, but different. the ride is very, very close to stock; a tad firmer, but not stiff or anything.

The tires rub the control arms at full turn of the wheels, so I'll have to try the washer thing.

I have 3.73s in the axles, and it drives fine, though it feels slightly underpowered now. however, after only a day with it, I've decided I'm going to re-gear to 4.10s...Uncle Sam was kind to me this year. Just doing my little bit of tooling around today, I used way more gas than I'm used to!! :-)

I guess I got about 3 inches total of lift with this.

sorry Phil!! you know I love ya!

i'm way impressed with it too. :D your jeep is really starting to work nice as a trail jeep. amazing what you can do with a moderate lift, good tires, and sway bar disco's. 8)

haven't been on those trails in a long time.
they are really cleaned up, except for the boat hull or two.
modern morons are persistent.
great day, and my doctor friends who wheel loved the flex shot you took brad.
one even was worried that i was too close to the "drop side" for the pix.
i told him he was just worried he would have to be broken in by a new nurse if i was in traction.
lookin' forward for the next chance to get in the dirt.
