You didn't happen to visit Starbucks down on Lyndale and 54th today, did you? I saw a new one sitting in front of there this morning.
That wasn't me this morning, but it is my neighborhood! I'm more of a Caribou or Dunn Bros girl anyway
You cant go wrong with a lift kit, but keep in mind, the Rubi can take 35" tires stock, and sits 2 in higher than non rubi jls. If you want higher, knock yourself out, but just an fyi to maybe save you a buck or two
I have seen you around! Black JLU Sport with the Pioneer Roof Rack.
Ah, beautiful up there - I bet you won’t be seeing grass until May! We will be making several trips to No. MN, but a little further to the west. The wife’s family has a place near Bagley. We never wheeled up there, so I’m doing some research while the snow melts!Greetings from a bit north! We are up on the Iron Range.
Where did you get the Zeon from. Looking to also purchase it. What winch plate did you use?Hello all,
I'm a North Dakota kid, but have lived in Edina for 9 years and I'm somewhat new to the forum. I'm heading out to the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab in April and I'm really interested in getting more active with local Jeepers to do more wheeling in the Iron Range, Duluth area and in Wisconsin and possibly even putting some trips together to wheel in the in the Badlands in North Dakota/Black Hills in SD and further west; Rubicon, Moab, etc.
About my Jeep:
I Ordered a '19 Sting Grey JLUR 3.6 auto 6 weeks ago and took delivery two weeks ago. I worked with Tony at Luther in Brookdale, who sold me my '14 JKUR.
Based on the map that another member created, I called around to all of the Jeep dealers in the cities and one in Rochester, but nobody would get close to the 5-7% off invoice I saw other forum members reporting. I pulled together some evidence from the forum and ultimately negotiated 5% under invoice plus another 1% for Tread Lightly and an Extra $1000 off for FCA loyalty from the Luther in Brookdale. I will help anyone do this and already helped two guys from the forum in MN. If you're interested, hit me up and I'll intro you to Tony and help you get all the discounts available. I can't say enough about how great Tony has been to work with on my project. Total stud.
About my build project:
Last week I installed the 3.5" Geolift from Maximus 3 with Falcon 3.3 adjustable shocks and 38" Patagonias on 17" black Hutchison Rockmonster bead locks. This kit is a geometry correction, high steer kit with a YETI drag link. Part of the project included adding the Warn Zeon 10s winch to the Steel bumper group and this week I installed an ARB dual compressor onboard air system with an air delivery system to air-up/air-down all four tires to preset PSI. I'm also using the Taser JL to adjust for bigger tires and play around with other options and settings. Keeps me busy for hours...
I ordered the full belly pan skid plate, the skid plate for the Front Axel Disconnect, and the rear diff skid plate system from MetalCloak. The belly pan skid had a 3 week lead time, and it all shows up next week. I'm also trying to order the spare tire carrying kit from Maximus-3 (Matt tells me it will be available to order this week).
With 38" tires, I anticipated some rubbing with the inner fenders, but there is zero. No rubbing on the front bumper at full turn either (unlike my JK with 35"s). Anticipating this (and for purely aesthetic reasons), I looked for aftermarket front fenders (saw some on YouTube videos from Sema) where the fender itself looks stock, but there is a slimmer LED Daytime Running Light/turn signal and trimmed inner fenders. I couldn't find any I liked which retained the horizontal LED until I watched a video from Brit at American Adventure Lab (https://americanadventurelab.com). These things look sick and are extremely well designed, retaining the horizontal LED while removing the inner fenders. I ordered a set two weeks ago and they will be here in a couple more weeks.
This build was initially planned to keep me busy over the Spring and Summer but I decided to head out to Moab in April, so I had to accelerate my plans a bit. I'll add some auxiliary lights (probably a pair of Baja Design LP6s, and a smaller BD Squadron on the spare tire carrier), and there are some other bits and pieces too.
Send me a note if I can help you with your JL or Gladiator order or if you are interested in organizing some outings.
