Awesome Jeeps and it looks like the place was a blast to wheel around in for everyone!

Dude, You have got too loose the black socks, unsat! How did your wife let you out of the house looking like that without your pocket protector and protractor

How is your engine power with those wheels and tires..I put 35 on mine and I had to gear to 488 to get my power back.. Stock Engine? Also you guys posted some beautiful pics. We are in Yuma AZ and we sure could make the drive to Phoenix, looks like a great run.

I'm running 5.13 gears and yes, the stock engine is a dog but I think that fact is regardless of tire size. I'm also running a cold air intake, throttle body spacer and cat-back exhaust to try and recoup some of the loss. But honestly it isn't as bad as you may think.

Yuma isn't that far away. You should make a run with us when we go a bit up north to Crown King. t's a higher elevation and we both can get a break from the heat.

You can but there's a few obstacles that cannot be done without a lift and bigger tires. Keep checking the four corners sub-forum for our next run up there.

We had ZooseJK run Crown King with us with no lift, only Rubi tires. A stock Rubicon would maybe scrape a little on some rocks but could make it.
