Default JK Sighting

Saw a real nice black Rubi Unlimited this evening over in Madison. Had Rock Star wheels, and what looked to be 35" meats. Perhaps a 2 to 2 1/2 inch lift. Guy even returned a wave.

I don't know if props is the proper word!

You're absolutely right Justin! From a distance, those big meats make the lift look small, which made me believe that they were merely 35's. I also remember the Rubicon sticker on his windshield.

Noticed he had some kids with him which also fits. He sure looked happy driving his rig.

North Alabama, North GA, and middle TN. Lots of nice hills, rock, and mud (although I'm not especially fond of the latter).

By the way, welcome to Alabama and the humidity (it's actually much worse in southern Louisiana). The good news is you don't have to be concerned about your skin drying out and chapping.

One of our local Huntsville guys came from Colorado, but he couldn't take the heat + humidity so he's been spending the summer out in the Southwest. He plans to return this fall.

I was also just looking at the OR-Fab Sport Cage Jayson.

P.S. - This guy didn't have one.

You would think the stock roll cage would hold up a lot better than that.
