In case some of you wanted to check out my "mall cruiser", I took a few flexed photos from this morning. I'd say it isn't too shabby to say the least...
I finally got superlift to turn loose of the longer 4" shocks. We figure I at least got 3" of lift with the kit and upgraded springs. Also, I added the DIY quick discos this morning and man does that make a difference in the flex!
Sorry the photo quality wasn't quite there, but you should get the general idea of what I do when I'm at the mall!

Looks like its time for some new tires and rims

Easy there Red......I'm just trying to stay semi caught up here!
Actually the wheels are the upgraded wheels for the wrangler 17" and the tires are bigger than the ones I had on when you last saw it. They look smaller I think because of the lift. I'd say I have at least 3" now.

I got the Black
I take it that it will work as good or better than the factory one?

Also crawled down a very rocky Level 3+ trail that probably only one other JK (bama-jk's rig), here in the Huntsville area, could have made without ripping parts off its undercarriage. Without question, a Level 4 going up, and if it were real wet, close to a 5. And as I mentioned above, the tougher trails are fairly tight, plus there are no "get out of jail free" bailout escape arteries.
Bottom line - lots of easy stuff, but you could find yourself in deep kimchi if you meandered down the wrong trail. With that in mind, I vote Mike as the "Trail Canary" - I guarantee he'd probably end up with more challenge than he bargained for.
Note: Pics I've posted all look fairly tame, because when it wasn't, the last thing on my mind was snapping a quick pic for the Show and Tell gallery.
Temp in valley: 34 Temp up on top: 25
Another shot looking down one of the many creeks:

Looks like it would be a good time. I'm not looking for much mud after the trip to Durhamtown! I'm still cleaning it out!
How many miles did you cover and what part of the map were you exploring?
