To all of those that missed it, well we didn't talk too bad about you, and most of it was fairly true.

Except for TBJ...we raked him across the coals many times :mrgreen:

Before and after picts are already in the works. I'll post some before and after measurements as well to see how this settles down after awhile. I think I gained somewhere b/w 3 3/4"-4" from where it was sitting (pre-lift) which meant my old suspension was probably sagged a full 2". So far the ride is much stiffer than expected. You can actually feel it roll a little from side to side over some undulating road areas as opposed to just absorbing the rolls in the road. Hard to explain but I DEFINATELY feel a huge difference in the way it drives. Alignment not too bad either. Agian, I want to thank everyone who came. Great turnout and great to meet everyone. Props on the cookies Chris. I ate a bunch for breakfast today. I'll have to ask some guidance on posting picts. Not very computer savvy.

I guess I can start editing my signature line.

These photos weren't as clear as I hoped, but pretty cool nonetheless.

Shouldn't you be in the Indiana section?

Ms5490renegade · **Posted:** Sun Apr 26, 2009 10:48 pm

does indiana deserve a section. i swear theres only like 3 of us that are on here enough to matter. i spent every summer from 8-15 years old in cleveland. plus i got to ohio usually 8-10 times a year. half of my family lives in cleveland. thats as much home for me as indiana is.

I saw Tom up on those bumpers and all I could think was " Aw, crap, it takes 'em forever to heal from them broken hips when they reach that age...." :shock:

(ducking, running from the room...)

OK...now I would expect that kind of remark from some people that drive ,...oh say blue KJs , but from you :shock:

.......have to think about this one for a while :lol:

I did think it at the time though :wink:

InCommando · **Posted:** Sun Apr 26, 2009 11:26 pm

Just good fun. If some kid had said that, it would have been one thing. But I am a couple of B-days from my AARP card ( at last!!!!!) myself.

Glad my wife drives the blue KJ and I drive the Tahoe...don't want to be in that "Blue KJ" group of people....
Tom did move pretty fast for an old guy though when that shock dropped just missing his toes!

TAHOE is just jealous because his wife is the only one in the fam that has the CAJONES to rock the Patriot Blue KJ Sport :shock:

She needs some 315/75-16 Nittos on that beyotch! :lol:

Hopefully you guys will be able to see these picts. Got new Wrangler Dura Tracs yesterday. I can't tell much w/ only one day to report, but they look meaty and are a definate ride improvement over my street tires (the alignment didn't hurt either). Hopefully I'll get to try them out soon. More picts to come if I didn't screw these up too bad.

Those do look meaty. Did you have any rubbing anywhere...Fender wells, upper a arms?
Chris, when you upload your pics next time to photbucket, change your size to 680x480, somthing like that. It will give larger pic that just fill the forum page perfectly.
I see new bumpers, winch, and alot of mud in your future
