Surprised there arent pics of the 44s and dana 60s yet
That feeling when you have enough available credit that you could just swipe your way to Dana 60s and 44s and all the custom fabrication you could ever desire but if you did you would be declaring bankruptcy next month.

I hate that feeling

But think of all the fun obstacles you could just make obsolete

Oh believe me don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind.

But it takes a lot of work and time to get credit scores that start with the number 8. I'd really like to not have to repeat all that.

I have been known to imbibe a bit too much of my favorite bourbon and get a bit too spirited/optimistic regarding modifications for my Jeep.

What seemed perfectly logical and made total sense after four drinks on a Friday night may not seem all that great when one sobers up.


What have you ordered that didn't quite live up to expectations a week or so later?
Ya, the JL, turn out great so far :beer:

I mean you did it once, just pull yourself up by your boot straps, have less starbucks and give up the avocado toast and youre golden.

Don't worry I've got plans. I'm doing the Jeepers jamboree Rubicon trail next July.

I've decided on a metalcloak 2.5" lift and I'm going to need 37s. Along with some other supporting mods that'll be done this spring hopefully.

I dunno a JLR stock height on 35s made it thru recently sounds like a lot of money you dont need to spend.

Oh I know 100%, my Jeep as it sits can do it. I'm sure it won't be pretty but it is doable. And if things don't go my way that's how I'll end up doing it. But I'm hoping I don't have to.

Hell, many of the "Jeeps" with a Trail Rated badge get dragged through the Rubicon just so corporate can say it did it. That doesn't mean anyone should do the same.
