We travel, and we are social. So you never know where we may be.

Well if your ever in traverse...

I ride M-22 on my motorcycle at least once or twice, then through Traverse, up to Harbor Spring and do the tunnel of trees. We also just go to Traverse to go to the marinas and shop the downtown area. So you never know. When I head that way, I will give you a bump for coffee or lunch maybe. Or you could jeep Drummond with us.

So this morning finished up some small stuff and a friend of mine that I am nudging into Jeeping took the Mistress for a ride through the woods. Nothing big as with out the lift, I can not flex to much. Did lock it in and run some 4H and 4L just to say I did. Not that I needed to.

On the trail prior to 200 miles.

love the Roam bumpers, still waiting for their rear bumper...

Today I installed the Tazer Mini. I set the tire size to 37 and adjusted the TPMS to 20 pounds, Did a quick little drive and the speedo was dead on with GPS speed. Everything working right, then I cruised the fields behind the house.

Did you have any issues with the tpms light staying lit after recalibrating to 20lbs?

I did not. I keep the tires at 27 to 28 pounds and the tpms light does not turn on. I am very happy with the Tazer JL mini.

Was the light already on due to having your new tires set to the new psi or did you install the tazer first before changing over to the new psi?

The tpms sensor was on, I adjusted the settings via the Tazer. The Jeep is off while you adjust the settings. I then started the JLUR and drove it. The tpms sesors read each tire with 28 pounds, but did not turn on the warning light.

Thanks....about to do mine and have read in some places that you need to have all the lights off for it to correctly adapt. I have my 37s set at 32psi and didn’t want any issues as my lights are on. Thanks!!!

I have unmarried and married the Tazer a few times when i had to go in for some warranty work.

Tire psi is set at 25 psi.
When i unmarried the light came on.
When i married the tazer i set the PSI back to 25 and made sure to do the tazer restart process. After that the light did not come back on.

What's your next mod?

So for some updates. I have got the Rancho 2in lift put on the Mistress. I did go with the 9000 series shocks. The ride is nice and it flexes well. I went with this lift after a lot of favorable reviews and videos that I saw of people off-roading with the lift on their JLUR. I did not want any more lift as even an inch more, and my wife would struggle every time to get into the Jeep and I am not carrying a step around with me. I just made the last major purchase for the Mistress the other day and I am waiting for the parts to come in.

So here are some update photos of the Mistress.

Her first flex with the new lift on in the driveway. Like I said, pretty impressed with the Rancho lift.

I do photograph on the side so a couple weeks ago, Michigan had a sunny clear sky day so I took the Mistress out back in my field for some glam shot.

It should be noted, that these were taken with my cell phone, a Samsung, Note 5.
