Suffolk JK

Westbury Goodyear Tire and Auto. Talk to Evan. Tell him Dimitri sent you from Long Island Off Road.

He's been wheeling and working on Jeeps for YEARS. He welded my gussets, skids, and sleeves in. He does everything, ASE certified for years. Gears, lockers, welding, etc....

I think that was a lesson for me as well that came a little cheaper. After wheelin around all day I was starting to think my jeep was invincible.

I'm mainly a lurker here, but would also recommend Evan. I was given his name by someone from LIOR a few years ago to swap the gears in a set of Dana 44's from a Scout II I used to own. Very good and quick work, as well as a good price. He even ordered the install kits for me.

On a side note, does anyone have the 'tool' to remove the drain plug for the manual transmission that I could borrow?

Thanks

Good to see lots of new faces here, seeing more and more JKs around.

Anyway just got back from a 2700 mile road trip with the JK down I95 to South Florida. Did ok, was hard to keep up, averaged around 74 mph on cruise control with AC on and was able to stay in OD until I hit ANY incline even the slightest. Got tons of waves down in Florida and even gave a tour of the JK to a young husband a wife with a YJ looking to upgrade. Only got to take the doors off once since all it did was rain, didnt even bother taking the top off cause when the sun was out it was brutal!

Next time around I would definately take a vehicle with a bigger engine. The ride quality didnt bother me at all since most of 95 is pretty smooth...

Anyway time to get back to local wheeling.

Funny I didn't see you down there. I was down in Hollywood, Miami, and South Beach on June 20. The rest of the week I was up at Daytona, Palm Coast, and St. Augustine. 3,300 total miles driven on the JK. Only rained for 2 hours for the entire 10 days I was down there. Had the doors off and top down the entire time, from the minute I took off from my house and all the way back. So, for those 2 hours of storms, I had the floor submerged, dash covered, center console submerged, etc. Fired right up and dried in a few hours with the intense heat that followed.

Wow wish I knew you were down there too! I didnt see many JKs from the north down there, lots of other vehicles though.

The 28th was the only day I took the doors off, we got back just in time, when it rains it pours down there! 29th went to the beach then another thunderstorm rolled in and I was only in the 83 degree water for 15 minutes!, the 30th it poured on and off all day.

I was in West Palm Beach the 28th - 30th. Stayed overnight in North Carolina he day before and after those days! They said I just missed beautiful weather when I came and I must have brought the rain down from the north.

No shit. 2 hours of rain in 10 days when it's supposed to be "hurricane season". I was blessed!

I only saw 2 modded JKs the ENTIRE trip to and from NY to Florida. Lots of stock ones, non modded.
