The trip home from Gupton to Ca ongoing - picked up Gecko JT

[Jocww]

Flew in yesterday to Nashville, picked up the JTRD today took about 2 hours. Went to the Corvette Museum and then to the caves NP but it was already closed and too dark. At the hotel in Oak Ridge so I can hit up Nemo Tunnel, and Wind rock along with 2 national parks before we mosey on down to the Smokey Mtns for sunset.

Do you mind saying what tires those are, how much they charged to mount them, and if there’s an added lift on there?
Very nice ride!

I don’t know if I could own a gecko long term, but DAMN it looks so good.

If my wife would have known that Gecko green was coming out mid year....she would have been like you are definitely waiting for that color.

Did Nemo and Wind rock yesterday. Mpg average was obviously down from the idling in 4lo etc and came out to be 21. Drove the Smokey Mtns today and headed to Raleigh getting an 26 mpg going around 70ish with the 4 tires and lift in the back.

Looks really great. To confirm: is that only a Mopar 2" lift? And the 37s are 12.5? No offense, but you don't look to be 6'5" so how is the ingress and egress?

Yep just 2 in lift on ko2s 37x12.5x17. It's a bit of a Hassel but not too bad. I can do it with a torn acl lcl mcl and compressed l4-l6. My dad at 70 is able to hike in although I've been trying to park next to curbs for him lol. I may weld up some rails with a step built in.

Just passed 1000 still getting 26.8 will hand Calc in a bit

 

[bleda2002]

I think the best part of this is the crate and tires in the back
