is that a jk8?
No, it's a 2012 Sport with a Mastertop Bimini top, wind stopper and tonneau with a Core 44 front axle , RCV axle shafts and ARB's. 4.56 gears, rear chromolly shafts, 3.25" franken lift and 37's. Whole bunch of other stuff.

The Core 44 has a D60 center and J8 tubes.

It goes anyplace I want it to and places I'm not sure I want to go.

Nice Flex ?
You're the one that made my Jeep as how it stands now (except for some stuff that I added lol). Vision comes true.

Damn... I miss those beadlocks, but love the contrast of the bronze beadlocks with the firecracker red.

I light wheel now, seems like every time I went out I broke something. At a minimum I chunked my tires requiring a rebalance. Also got tired of waiting in "trail traffic". 1st world problems.....

Here in So Cal we've got it all. I've done several but it's really not a trail rig so no Rubicon for me. Lots of places to go without doing body mods. Mine can do any of the rough mall parking lots. LOL Really I have done Anza Barrago , Death Valley, Kennedy Meadows. Lots of land to explore here.

My JT is strictly a pavement princess, unless it goes to the beach with me and I switch the beach permit from the JL. The JL is the one that takes abuse on trails. SOmeone else mentioned "What is better than 1 Jeep". I so agree.

My definition only,,, needing 4WD to keep going, need 4 low and possibly lockers. If a 2WD can do it, you ain't wheeling, you're just out for a drive.

We do. We’ve been collecting badges all over… did all 3 trails at Windrock, TN; all 3 at Stoney Lonesome, AL; Dickey Bell, NC; Florida Trail; Fins & things and Hells Revenge, Moab. Planning on some of the CO and a couple of the Houston area trails this coming summer…

The mojave had less than 400 miles on it when we took it out 2 weeks ago. Mostly forest service roads as it was a day trip. It is a blast to toss around corners sideways at 50mph in the dirt though. It will get it's 1st desert rated testing Thanksgiving weekend while we are camping in the desert it was named after. As far as rock crawling, we use the wife's JLUR on 39s for that. Ran John Bull, gold mountain, and Holcomb creek without so much as stepping out to spot in late September. Right tool for the right job so to speak. What's better than 1 Jeep? His and hers.

It's a great trail. Few nice and technical sections that push you.
You head out this way, hit me up. Got a group of JTs that would be happy to take you!
I'd be down. Im in the Boulder area. What is the name of the trail?
