Thank you! Having fun with it so far! I'll have a lot more pictures next Monday on the tent's maiden voyage! Trying to decide which camp spot to start out at around Temecula for this trip. Need to stay close.

And for my fellow 2 door Jeepers out there, this is how we've figured out how to make everything work. We have two long containers that fit just about everything. We also have a propane powered Camp Chef campfire that absolutely rocks. We have a 20lb propane tank that has powered it for three nights, but it is starting to feel a bit light. We have a pretty complete tool kit and then a variety of other useful tools that we have started to accumulate including long breaker bars. Everything stays more or less in place with minimal rattling. But we had to say bye bye to the rear seats.
And of course... The breakfast of champions, chili.

It was a pretty mellow trip but we did have some fun in the rock garden. Our little Jeep does pretty well!

Picked up this gem of a mirror yesterday for a whole $5! Now I can take the doors off
at least I think this classifies as a legal mirror. Haha

Would really appreciate some feedback on my particular set up. I'm debating on getting the Evo Plush Ride coils on my jeep. As you can see, I'm running a gobi roof rack and sometimes a rooftop tent and quite a lot of camping gear in the back.
The gear and the tent are only on the jeep occasionally (I used to run it all the time with the tent but it was too heavy for just wheeling).
Other than that, I have a light jeep. I don't carry the rear seats for the most part, and I only really have rock sliders for armor but I will eventually get bumpers. The bumpers will be relatively light weight.
I won't be able to afford new shocks in the beginning but I do have 2" spring extensions I can run.
Which would you go for? 2" or 3". Thanks!

Now that I go back to the website, it looks like they only have 2" front coils... so now, I guess the question is whether 3" is too big of a lift for my set up. I don't want to do anything else to the jeep, so if this is too high for stock otherwise stock settings I will have to go a different route...

I run a light 2 dr and got 3.5" of lift out of the 2" plush rides, had some issues because of it, so I took them out in favor of 2" spacers. I hope to throw them back in if I put more weight in the front. Or sell them, if I stay light. But it seems like most people love them, but you may need front lower controls to get your caster back near stock.

Ah, I've only had my doors on for a few days and this picture is making me want to be odorless again!!

I hope I didn't steer you wrong haha! I ended up selling the 2" plushrides. I will probably get the jks 2.5" for 2 doors at some point with the rear trackbar bracket. But bigger tires are next, I'm sick of making smaller purchases in the attempt to pacify my need for 35's.

Haha. I feel you! I want the jeep to be naked! But where I live, I definitely worry about theft. Oh well.

Anyone riding with you probably appreciates that.
Haha, agreed! An odorless Jeep is a happy Jeep.
