TKS,

1) I live in south baton rouge, and by the grace of the big man above, we had no real local damage. As far as New Orleans goes, the French Quarter and downtown were up and running in no time at all. New Orleans East, and St. Charles Parish are totally different, and to this day it is still pitiful when considering how much work needs to be done.

2) The jeep is definitly doable with the 4.10's. Having said that I WILL swap gears based on all the great response from those on the forum who have done the swap

3) those are the stock 17" rubicon wheels 8" width I believe ???

4) My lift was put on by a local Rubicon Express direct vendor (their first install on a JK). I believe my kit to be 1 of those first mythical 50 (or so I'm told). My guys took their time (about 4 days), but they were taking gobs of notes and photographs as they went because RE's install instructions were not the best.

couple of questions,

What rear bumper did you go with? any other mods you have made? and can we please see some hi-res images from diff angles of your insanely sweet Rubi!

Thanks,

Jer

The rear is the Mopar rockcrawler, and I will try to post a list of mods and pics later tonight or this weekend.
