Hey fellow Northerners - hope y'all are enjoying the recent blizzard in your new JLs. Just brought mine home a week ago, so far I've spent most of the week perusing the forums and digging around for some add-ons and mods. I traded in my 2 door 2012 Sport for a 4 door JL Sport, loving it so far.

Love all the photos, incredibly jealous, looking to order Mojito JLU when it’s available. Ditching the 4-runner for my first Jeep!

Wahoo!!

Totally love your Jeep but dislike the weather in the photo. Enough snow!!!! Bring on spring! Did you see the Lake out there this weekend? Almost hitting the lift bridge!
I see the lake every day :) So much better in the summer when everything is blue and green :)

Agree that blue and green are much better than white and gray! Our lift is here, waiting on the rims n tires. Did you upgrade your tire carrier for the 35”s? Any issues with the lift bowing?

I guess I live a more devil may care lifestyle, because I haven't paid those issues much attention! The front springs seem to bow slightly, but don't look like the "falling out" situation I've head of, so I'm not very worried. As for that rear tire, its not touching the stoppers, so its probably bowing the door some? I think I'm gonna just buy a Roam Offroad tire carrier rear bumper anyway so meh.

Worried/not worried ‘cause the tires are coming and lift is waiting. Going on at some point! Just wondering if it’s better to wait to see
If there is a “fix” before install. ( Installed the warn 10s winch, and the “Fix” came out on the forum the day of install (I didn’t see the forum post until searching after noting the issue) totally fixable, but requires pulling the bumper again. Just annoying)

I'm not personally worried. My back drive is down a dirt alley and its pretty rutted. I've run that suspension over ruts an curbs, doesn't seem phased. Apparently MOPAR has re engineered the 2" lift and fixed the issue, mine is not that revision lol :)

Lift came through an aftermarket place about a week ago. Guessing it’s not the reengineered parts. :( But, with the snow, guessing the rims are delayed coming into the cities anyway. No time for install immediately. :crying:
WOULD IT QUIT F***ng snowing????? :punch:

I know, load of gravel for the driveway is delayed. I had Duluth Dodge order and install my lift so they can't claim warranty foul on me :)
