Break it in, strap down the dogs, and try out a trail that's emerging from the snow ...

Since I'm buying in H-Town, take the top down and go to Whataburger, then take the backroads to Colorado!

1. 4x aftermarket rollcage grab handles
2. Build wall-mounted door holder in garage
3. Teach my wife how to drive a manual

3 might be the last thing I ever attempt to do.

Not gonna lie. I'm probably going to cry like a baby.

Hahaha...me too!

I'm going to feel the clutch out and report back here as soon as I'm done playing around with it. Then, I'll focus on break-in. I've always done pretty careful break-in procedures on my vehicles, so I'm not too worried about it, but I'll focus on putting the engine through varied rpms, but staying below 4000 for the first 1000 miles.

I'll also begin assessing, as I'm breaking it in, whether I want to move to 35's and a 2" lift, or not. I may go with a tire store that has a 30 day guarantee, and run 35's to see if I like them (before putting on the lift). I won't move to 35's until after break-in, though. After looking closely at a JLU Rubi parked next to my 2" lifted JK yesterday, there is a chance I might stick with the stock setup. We'll see. Tough decision ahead. My wife is pushing for the lift/35's, though. I like her to be happy.

Someone posted a great video somewhere on proper break-in, using excellent sources to justify the advice. One of those sources was Acura, with the NSX. Acura breaks in the engines on that car before they are even installed. The key things to remember are not to stay at one rpm for too long, vary the load and rpm, don't exceed 4000rpm.

Good info

Tint the front windows to match the rest.

After the initial cry and awkward hug to the delivery man, that’s what I’ll do.
***forgot- I just bought my rock sliders today..it will be a toss up between the tint and the sliders

 

[Smarrtazz]

That’s angry and tough looking
