No problem. Glad to share. Thanks for lettng me check out your JL.
Thanks everybody for coming out! It was nice meeting y’all and checking out your killer rigs. I’ll post some pics tomorrow when I get to a PC.

Not sure about monthly yet, but got good feedback from most everybody and the brewery seemed to like it, we’re gonna shoot for every-other-month for now. December tends to be a busy month for everybody so I’ll set the next one up for January.

Hey Tone! It's ours, Kristen (and Ryan). Nice meeting you yesterday! Happy to send you any info on our mods, let me know :)

Hey K & R! Yes I would love to get more specifics from you guys, firstly about your suspension. I think you'd said it was some Toyotec components with Total Chaos UCA's?
Those details are the icing on the cake. It felt really good to meet a great group of people I look forward to getting to know better. And your rig is the perfect example of simple-done-(very)-well. It's inspiring for my build in the coming weeks and months.
Have a great T-Day holiday!

Totally agree, it was great to meet everyone!
The lift is from Toytec, the "ultimate kit". 3" coilovers in the front, 2.5" coils in the rear. This eliminates the stock rake and leveled out the rig quite well. The shocks are Bilstein 5100s all around. We also added the Total Chaos UCAs, improved the drift and keeps the alignment. The rear coils are fine if you don't have a lot of weight; they are rated at 185lbs. We have a smittybuilt scout trailer that we tow and the sag is pretty bad. We will likely switch the rear coils out for the Old Man Emu HDs and longer shocks.
Let us know if you need info for your build, happy to help anytime!
