no pic - but my wife has an (embarassingly) stock 4dr '08 Sahara, soft top.
It's ok. A bit plush for my taste and the soft top is a bugger but that's the length I guess. I've owned 4CJ's, a TJ, and now the JK.
It's a nice open top ride and still feels a bit like a jeep. I absolutely CAN"T STAND the stupid $230 key I had to buy. Can't believe D/Chysler would be so dumb! (Guard your factory keys!)
We probably won't ever wheel the JK, but it satisfies my inner need to have at least one jeep around - been that way for 30 years with me, why stop now!

Glad to hear that the Dragonfly has not left the flock, but more importantly glad to hear that she has joined the JK rank! 6.1 Hemi is the first recommendation, not that it will be installed. More realistic, definately recommend a mild lift of 2.5-4 inches to clear some 35s. If she is going to drive it on the street more than dirt I reccomend a good AT tire rather than a mud, I currently have some Conti General Grabber AT2s in a 315/75R16 that work very nice nad give a smoother highway ride. Dual Stabilizers in the front if you go bigger on tires definately. I know many people recommend beefing up the sway bar brackets that connect both the back and the front to their respective axle - they tend to break easily with larger tires and flexing. I like the olymic sliders and bumpers, but fabbed my own sliders after an olympic set. Stubby bumper in the front definitely to improve approach and something high up and short in the back as the stock bumper will get torn up the first time you hit a trail with any kind of angles. Hope that helps Dave. I know you know a lot more about wheeling that I do so this is probably just basics for you. | |

Got a 4" lift in from Superlift the first of the week (Thanks S.L. 50% gift certificate from Crawl 4 Christ) Brad and I got the rear installed last night. Will do the front either tonight or tomorrow. I have to go to Tulsa after another TJ this afternoon so don't know if time will allow. | |
