I live in southern California. I've seen at least one lister's JK (maroon, no doors, 37"(?) tires) on the way home from Rancho Bernardo on the I-5N. I commute from the South Bay to Rancho once a week. I will be taking receipt of a '12 JK Unlimited Rubicon (6sp MT) in the next few weeks that was special ordered. I sold my 3/4T Silverado crew cab 4x4 and am w/o a 4x4 pickup truck for the first time since 1986. I bought the JK now that the kids don't care to join my wife and I on our epic 2 week camping trips. We use 4WD to get to far away campsites located off logging/mining roads - many of which have turned into ATV trails.
I love your website and all the videos! It is almost tempting me to lift my Jeep! Prior to the Jeep, I've had a '03 Chevy 2500HD Silverado (6L gas/AT), a couple mid-80s vintage Ford F250s (std cab 460/C6/NP205(?); ext cab 460/NP435/NP205), a '79 Ford Bronco (NP435/NP205), an '89 HiLux (22RE/MT), and an '86 HiLux (22RE/MT) (I got >300,000 miles out of both Toyotas w/o burning any oil or leaks). My Silverado was the 1st truck I lifted and only b/c I had to. It sat so low, I almost wiped out the undercarriage on a very tame forest road in Nowhere, Montana.
I'm from the era where large tires on a daily driven Jeep were 33" which is probably about as big as I'll go when my 32s wear out.
