The “Red Queen” -build and journey

[sass JT]

Took the queen out on a trail workday... my spot was on this berm. My buddy mike showing how tall it was to get into the drivers seat. Lol

The good news is that she’s going in for a small facelift here in two weeks... I’ll post up when it’s done.

Something small... a ajt design remote. The stock one is definitely bulky.

Got my fatbobs garage 2.5 spacer lift, dirty life drive-1 wheels, 37” ridge grapplers and steersmarts track bar.

I’ll be upgrading the lift when metalcloak comes out with their game changer, I had it on my last vehicle and loved the articulation. Also planing on getting the rest of the steersmarts tie rod and drag link then too.

Oh and the obligatory standard rock shot I put my jeeps through

Got my tonneau cover installed today... 30 minutes and it’s all nice and tight.

The queen demanded that she needed a shakedown run before heading out with some friends tomorrow... grabbed my best bud and hit the trail... wow just wow. The queen did way better than expected. Absolutely no hits on the belly or the rear.

Uploaded the video I got from the shakedown run. Super excited how the queen ran.

Did some trails with the 4wd crew. The queen showed everyone that she can tame even the likes of a few narly sections of trail. Got a video on Kelly flats trail, this is the 1st major obstacle on heart attack hill. And for reference... my xterra friend, who’s vehicle is well built up, took the same line as I did...

Sweet! What brand did you get? I see several companies starting to sell them.

I'm really thinking about getting one of these and eyeing red. This is a cool looking Jeep.

Thank you... it’s an awesome drive.

Jeep looks awesome. Unless you’re going taller I think you’ve got all the flex it’ll handle

Yes just a weee little bit taller... I will be getting a metalcloak gamechanger lift when available. I had a 3.5” with falcon 3.3’s on my last JK... the experience with that lift is unreal. It will definitely add some extra lift to go over the rocks and allow for more stretch of the legs

She has been crowned!
