I missed seeing it but she said it was 3 red lights in the shape of a triangle behind me in the sky. she freaked out and wanted to get the fuck outta there. we threw our crap in the jeep and headed back down the dark dirt rd towards little aleinn and 5 red lights appeared right in front of us the way we were heading in the distance. 5 bright red lights in a straight line. Then I got a little freaked out too. Everyone wants to see any alien till they actually do, then they wanna kill it.
we drove around 200 miles to some town north of there to stay the night. now when people talk about Area 51, I'm like "man fuck that place"

The build-
AEV 4.5"Premium
1" Teraflex coil spacers
18x10 Moto Metal 961
38x15.5x18 Nitto MudGrapplers
Smitty side armor
Bumper Caps
Pilot Driving lights/Sylvania bulbs

The good-
I like the way it came out aesthetically. I am SHOCKED i really dont have to regear, still plenty of power. I may regear because I like to go fast from a stop but honestly, not needed even with 38's.

The Bad-
I had a local HACK SHOP thats not a vendor do the work and the Jeep rides lke shit and feels very unsafe. The steering wheel literally rocks back and forth in my hand three inches each way at any speed and the car is WAY LOOSE. When I picked up the car the first night, the shop didnt have time to align it and said that was the cause of the poor driving. I dropped it off the next morning and told them they had to fix it and the car was absolutley unnaceptable. I picked it up that night and drove it home, no difference. The shop owner said thats just the nature of the big tires,I knew it was bullshit, this thing is SCARY to drive. THE NEXT DAY I drove it out to Off Road Evolution. Within 1 minute Mel told me its because of the 1" spacer!! He said that I need lower contol arms badly, that the caster was causing the problems. I have also already melted the front driveshaft boot from the shops "Exhaust Mod". I ordered front Tera LCA's and a J.E. Reel front driveshaft from Mel. They are closed this week so I have to wait until next Tuesday to drop it off. I am limping it around until then. ON TOP OF THIS, the shop sends me a bill today for $300 for labor they didnt charge on the first bill. Moral of the story,spend the extra money on reputable shop. I knew something was up when I pulled up and this dump had 2 Jeeps up front, thats on me!
