Best of both worlds?

but why does it matter to you if he wants to do that in his JK? I don't care what you guys do in your Jeeps. Just don't expect me to do the same thing. If he hants to do it I say go for it. There was a Jeep here on campus that the voca guys built (a 2004 TJ with like 10k miles) It had no lift and a retarded flag paintjob,,,, but It had a V8, perf springs (eibach I think), bilsteins, and some street tires. They said it did really well.

lmao @ good speech. That made me LOL. I visualized some guy typing this big long speech up envisioning an alpha male like a big powerful mayor or something but then being a tiny little 4-eye geek. The word "speech" tickled me. lol. awesome.

Old Man Emu!!
BUT I agree with Reds post that a Jeep is not the right vehicle for
the daily on road driving you mention you do.
Perhaps you have done it but that does not mean it should be done.
It is VERY dangerous doing that in a JK and then lifting it is a whole new
game changing everything.

Welcome to the forum!! What size of tires do you plan on running? A TeraFlex 3" LA kit is good for 35" tires. When you get a chance, download the 2009 TeraFlex catalog and take a look our kits. TeraFlex offers more that 24 different kits for just the JK. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

thanks will certainly contact you....people over here are not used to the driving stile in turkey... to me i dont care if its a jeep, its not a matter of what you drive I honestly think It can have both worlds... look at range rover sport and land rover lr3(yes I realise a jk is not as fast...until a hemi is placed) it can handle better than stock on-road and go as fast a stock, and be better off road, its manageable... but most people here have gottne their jk for off-road only, I drive it everyday on freeway, town to town sometimes...so I cant loose time going slow, I realise for you people it might be unstable and dangerous but I know what I drive and I can predict it, put me in a porsche and I probably couldnt drive as bold in that because Im not used to it....but since driving this jeep for a long time I know how it rides what it will do in certain situations. aka its the driver not the ride.. if you knwo whats under you you can push it to the limit and over it, I drive my jeep at the limit, I know when it will let go and break the limit(when its dangerous...) so I can do 160 km on freeway steady while overtaking cars from right and left...(I had to do it when I was rushing my girlfriend who had reaction to her medicine and alcohol...) so yeah. please dont say the excuse its a jeep...it can do it...if you want it to, and can make it..

Drifting and doing over 100 mph in a stock jeep setup? Do you even own a jeep or rode in one? As for predicting the driving patterns and roll of a Jeep, that is funny as well because it's one of the least predictable automobiles on the road.
I predict two things anyone who drives like that on those roads will end up dead or a vegetable someday, and two not one video of you taking those roads at those speeds ever shows up on this site!
Forgive my tension but as a firefighter I cut way to many innocent dead kids out of cars where morons thought they knew their limits!

You are going to compare a lifted JK to a Land Rover???
Do you know ANYTHING about center of gravity?
Do you see the Range Rover sitting as high as a lifted Jeep??
NO!!! It wouldn't be able to handle like it does at high speeds if it
was so high.
Sorry but you are obviously a very selfish driver and still a little immature.
I hope you grow up before you seriously hurt someone.
Driving like your talking about in a stock Jeep is asinine and doing that to a Jeep which has been lifted is just flat out stupid.
I will not be back to argue with you about this but grow up and listen to others you are obviously very young and still learning....
