Techd00d, I am so envious! I appreciate all your updates on the goings on at ORE. Currently I am forced to live vicariously thru your exploits and you picking up your JK since I am sitting in the Atlanta airport. By the looks of my JK in the photo you sent earlier, I may not be driving it home to Scottsdale. AZ on Monday. Oh well, I can wait another week or so, it will be worth the wait. Again, congrats on the upgrades and enjoy!

I know what you are going thru, I waited about a year before I was able to pull the trigger on my EVO upgrades. So at this point if I have to wait another week or two, it's worth it. My rig is about 90% complete from what I can gather.

My goal is to make sure I have things in order to do the Rubi run next summer at a minimum...

Thanks guys. Really happy with it already. Rides great. Just got home with it. Felt real good, about 70miles, under 60mph on the freeway. Had to take it easy with the new gears so I'll know more the next 500miles or so.
Yeah, stock tire carrier. I'm still shopping for a rear bumper and carrier. Don't want to wait too long and bend the rear gate hinges.
I'll probably take more detailed pics tomorrow when I have more time and post them.

I can guarantee that you'll love the ride and performance as ours is very similar to your setup!

Got about 100 miles on it now just through first stage of breaking on the gears. Hope to play a little with it tomorrow. Got some horrible weather here right now though. I'll get some more pics of all the detail stuff to share as soon as it stops raining.
So far feels great. Ride is very smooth, especially in the front with the coilovers. Tires are very quiet, I think more so than then stock, which was a pleasant surprise. Hardly any tracking for 37's. They do stand very tall. Per Mel, the goodyears are very true to size, so I was surprised how big they were. I had 40"s on a truck I used to have and I swear these look just as tall.
