Better hurry--LOST Ouray is only 3 weeks away! A fellow Jeeper (who told me I needed to get a "real Jeep" years ago) said that I should just leave it stock and save up for a few years for a long arm kit. Yeah, right! |

To keep up with us? : You'd need a 4" lowering kit and some limiting straps to even try |

LOL...I dunno, I haven't had this thing off the pavement yet. I felt pretty skilled in my KJ, but this is a new experience altogether. It's like driving a school bus compared to my little KJ. |

Thanks, we are very fortunate to have a vacation rental property on Bear Lake, on the border between Utah and Idaho. It's a beautiful place, especially this year with the ridiculous amount of rain we've gotten. |

Nah, paid a buttload to get it installed. But I've been swamped lately, so it would never have gotten done if I'd waited until I could do it. |

Not those rocks, but I did just get it dirty for the first time on Saturday, up American Fork Canyon (Forest Lake). I didn't have a decent camera with me--I took these with my crappy phone camera:
The only problem was, I couldn't tell when I was flexed, because the tires didn't rub! At all! I'm used to driving my KJ--when the rear tires start rubbing, I know that I'm flexed, so I get out to take a picture. |

Yeah, but I didn't even have to push a button with the Powertrax in my KJ. This JK is fun, but driving it only makes me more impressed by what my little KJ could do. |

This JK is fun, but driving it only makes me more impressed by what my little KJ could do. I second that. My Libby was excellent off road. I miss it. |
