I have been playing around with starlink to improve my remote Comms.
cut the dish up and made a bit of a bodgy case for the bits that work.

fitted dobinson 3” progressive springs with fully adjustable MMR shocks.
also adjustable front lower arms and extended swaybar links.
bought the Jeep in July 2021 and thought I might start a thread.
i originally bought the Jeep as my 2 door JK was getting close to worn
out and I was starting to worry about reliability because I do a lot of very remote driving.
my work commute when I bought it was 600km with 200km of dirt...
I would be surprised if the tank doesn’t comply in the US.

my JLUR is a 3.6 so doesn’t need to be diesel.
for those that don’t understand modern measurements
