Seth, IMO, $500 is too much for a 1.5" raise on the tie rod. IMO, I'd wait for a complete tie rod flip.

Thanks, I was admiring your Jeep. Looks very capable. We live within 1/2 mile, on Charter Rd. Interesting that being so close by, I don't think we've run into each other before. My wife and I have lived here for about 15 years, having moved from St. James, to Calverton, to here.


My regards,

Widewing

Thank you very much, I've lived in the area for four years, had the truck the first summer I moved in back in 2007. I also saw you today to on Magnolia, if you noticed a little Green Jeep Cherokee drive by, thats my sisters truck and my old one. A nice upgrade wouldn't you think?

Nope I just got laid off and back to a full time job so I need to catch up with the loan payments, I'm looking to go this month no matter how I get there. I also was not home today, my truck was there but was driving that little green p.o.s around.

A nice upgrade, indeed. I didn't notice the Cherokee, but I'll keep my eyes open in the future. I've owned two previous Jeeps, including a heavily modded CJ-5, which was wheeled without mercy, and a moderately outfitted '92 YJ. I bought the 3 year old YJ so I could limit my 1991 Sidekick 4dr to commuting (solid all-weather, 30 mpg mini-truck). I kept the YJ for 8 years, selling it to my nephew and regretting it immediately.

I made a decision not to go nuts upgrading the JK. Just enough to do what I want to do with it. For the most part, that would be day to day use with summer beach driving, weekend exploring and some fun at the family farm up in Breesport, NY. Actually sticking to that decision is another matter. Just when I figure I've done enough, I find something else that I want to improve. It's almost an addiction. My wife likes to remind me that I'm getting too old for this stuff.... Not yet, not yet.


My regards,

Widewing
