Mbryson's 2012 JKU "build"

[Cherokeester]

I have the Teraflex 3" springs and arms (not the long arm) and 37". It works wery well and drives good. I now Live in Layton and you are welcome to drive it anytime if you are interested.

I am curious, did you re-gear your difs with this setup?

[RockChucker]

Congrats!

Still have the wife's Navigator for towrig duties. Not awesome but should do ok. She'll drive the JK when I sneak off with the YJ. Plan is to sell the YJ but likely not for a while ?

Sweet! This will be fun. No sellin' the YJ though. There's still a few more trails to do.

This is good advice.

Yes. It seems it's here to stay for a while. Still has the "happy tag" on the license plate frame.



Not my rig, but likely similarly built. Stuff is starting to get solidified a bit.

I have not re-geared, still the 4.1. I have the manual trans so the final drive is not too bad on the freeway, 6th most of the time, 5th on hills. Being a Rubicon the 4:1 transfer case makes low range work well.

I do have a set of 4.56 gears and install kits but have not installed them.

What's the specs on that rig? It looks just right to me.

You and I both know I can't keep it stock but its not getting ton axles and 40" tires.

Sure, you say that now....

Has ESC (that I've already noticed) and some other stuff I don't have in my current Jeep (like a heater and AC).

My earlier offer still stands: PM me the last 8 of the VIN (as well as the approximate odo) and I'll print out & fax/email your build sheet to you.

I my opinion the JK for a daily driver seeing moderate off road use (not Pritchett) a 3” is just right. Does not need the long arm at 3” and drives well, especially compared to a lifted TJ.

Uh, no progress to post pics of. I have done a little wheel shopping. GACK is all I can say about the wheel choices out there. For what they cost, I want to like them.

 

[gertsch]

I liked the Moab wheels my wife's 09 had on it. We still miss that jeep every now and again.
