Pennsylvania Laurel Highlands. My one ton was clean in the shop so I figured why not try the jeep with the sled trailer. I was honestly impressed with it even though itās a 10 minute drive! 37ās. 4.56s.
?. Thanks! Iāve had a few and am picky with this one. Iām also the guy that will go wheeling and immediately detail it ??āāļø. Bead lock rings were scratched within 3 days of ownership!
They truly are very capable out of the box. I think Iāve found a happy place with it for awhile with longer lcaās, longer bilsteins, 3ā springs (wasnāt a huge fan of the spacers) longer sway bar links and a track bar on 37ā mickeys. Only thing that sucks is it doesnāt look like thereās any...
Nice ride! My rubi x is 2 months old and already on 37ās with an additional 1.5ā of lift (3ā springs) I ordered a new C8 and drove it for 6 months before I was over it! Lol. These jeeps are a blast.
Thatās about what Iāve come up with in my research as well. Iāve upgraded to longer and stiffer shocks, as well as the lcaās. Next step at whatever point is adjustable sway bar links/track bars along with longer springs, just doing my research on exactly what Iād want for those.
for now, Iām...
Yeah, Iām looking into something like that or springs. I have the longer Lcaās coming so Iām good there, I think at that lift Iād have to get adjustable track bars and some longer sway bar links.
Mickey Thompson 37ās in and on. Rides great even for taking some balancing weight. Slight trimming of the bumper and zero front rub, rear, well we already know 37ās will rub on the pinch weld coverāāI may mess with that further down the road. .75ā spacer and longer bilsteins for now.
I have to get out there, hopefully next fall weāll be In and somewhat settled, depending how big of a project we buy ( looking at lake houses ??)
the better half let me order 37s, said better do it now bc all your money will be gone next year ??
Went with .75 spacers all the way around and found a smokin deal on some Bilsteinās for lifted applications. Very happy with the ride (I prefer the stiffer bilstein damping). Now Iām looking at 37ās ???.
will be moving to the Upper Peninsula next year so a 3peak tire is somewhat mandatory...
Bought mine before the july 4th weekend. Immediately drove it 800 miles to the Upper Peninsula and went wheeling. 2.0 turbo. 35 Xtreme. No extra Bs. Extremely happy with it.
Thanks for the insight. My dad has a high tide and we were just discussing this very idea. With the long distance move coming in the spring, Iāve put a hold on large mods but might just have to go this route.
also a good call on upgraded shocks, Iāve done the foxās in the past and what a...
It was something I noticed and kind of rolled my eyes at. I knew it wasnāt the mopar full height etc but figured it would have more travel than it does. Oh well. Weāre moving here in the spring, so Iāve self imposed a no dumb purchases clause until we do lol. Always something with jeeps...
Hereās something for this group to ponder.
Does anyone know the actual differences between the lift on the recon packages vs the mopar 2ā? Aside from the obvious longer springs and shocksā¦.. lower control arms/sway bar links the same
Out doing some simple wheeling now with a winch and bumper...
No hate comms on the spacers, have a bora set sitting on my shelf for a bronco. If I go 37ās Iād probably go MT and just get another set of wider offset wheels so I can swap for winter.
2024 mopar brake controller. Ok kids, jeep doesnāt drill the holes for the brake controller mount in the aluminum frame under the dash anymore. Real blast doing that lol. But the mopar brake controller does work on the 24sā¦.if you can get it. Oh and make sure the factory plugged all the trailer...
Letās see those 37ās from a side shot! Interested in how the fit no lift, Iām sure thereās spring differences but, you might be on to something haha
Excellent write up and info sir. I along with others are watching this weighing (??) the pros and cons of the smaller trailers.
The better half and I just went and looked at Xtreme outdoors little guy trailers. Specifically the micro max as we live 5 mins from the factory. Nice trailers but...
So Iām mad at myself for the after pic. Lol. Im a detail guy and my camera wasnāt horizontal with the tape in the second pic ??. Itās 3/8ā if weāre being technical. Weāll see how it settles out, but down the road I could see a lift with some HD springs. No bumper in the backā¦.yet lol.
Im...
