So finaly I got me a Jeep again. Got kind of bored borrowing the wifes XJ...
2007 JK-U Sahara.
Front & rear steel bumper, skid plates, rocksliders and a winch.

(Yes, it is 17" Rubicon rim... 8) )

This Jeep have been used by a event company, where I sometimes work as a offroad driving instructor. And the Jeep is still employed by that company... 8)
(Last week one girl were driving the Jeep in 25 degrees sideslope, and she was crying... ) :?

During this summer I will get a 2,5" BB lift and a set of 33" Cooper Discoverer STT.
And tomorrow the beated up fenders will be replaced whith black Rubicon fenders...

Awesome JK. I love the black wheels.

Are there good places to wheel in Sweden? My brother and his wife out there last year. I need to get on a plane and visit!

There are a lot of good places for offroading. But overall, it is forbidden to go offroad, but it is possible to get permition.
And we shure got mud here... 8)

Nothing wrong with a spacer lift on a wrangler. It doesn't cause the suspension to sag out horribly like it does on the libby. But being made out of plywood is questionable.

Nevermind, he made his KJ lift out of a block of nylon and fabbed extended bumpstops using parts from a boat-trailer then ziptied them to the UCA.

Apparently, in Sweden, you can get away with a suspension made of wood ... :ROTFL:

So far, so good... But it will be replaced later, (If I don´t forget it).

Anyway... The Jeep is performing fine, not only for joyride...
