I think August will be too soon. Not enough people will have their JT by then.
I was thinking more September, early October.
You can say that again Grrrr.., I ordered a Firecracker Red LE and on 4/4 and my VIN is 111696 and I still haven't received it LOL .
The Granite folks will be lucky if they get theirs by X'mas :LOL:.

I think I am allowed a bit of schadenfreude, considering I am closing in on 3 months for my LE :giggle:

As of 7/1/19 my mods are. New front bumper and winch, Some lights and a few interior things. I also baptized it last week up at the cabin. Videos to follow when I figure out how to edit and post them

ahh, we drive right by Crivitz then turn east on county road Z which turns into G18 in Michigan.

Did you notice the front end sag when you went with the XRC from all the weight?

I measured 5/8" on one side and 3/4" on the other. Added about 140lbs if I did my math right. I was expecting more.

Looking at the whole set-up I would say you can run 35" tires without any suspension work.
