That looks like Ali Mansour's jeep (JP magazine editor). If it is, he is running EVO bolt-on coil overs and 37"s

Got to see most of the rigs at Jeep Beach and they looked awesome. Talked to some of the guys, they were all over the place. Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Does anyone know what's gonna happen to the JKX once the new Wranglers come out? Sucks mine won't be ready for anything like the JKX until way after the new ones come out

That is a guest jeep. Shock and spring setup but can't really tell which. They didn't do a good job of giving info about the guests this year like they have in years past.
Ali has the newer EVO bumper.

Judging by the OME stabilizer and the AEV bumper I would guess he has an AEV lift.

Yes it was a clean jeep running an AEV loft. Graham from Ohio (I think) good dude.

Really muddy!

And this is the main source of contention for me when wheeling. I HATE cleaning up mud from the Jeep. Down here in the southeast, there really isn't much of a way to steer clear of it either.

Exactly right! Gotta love that even heated up a set of Non-sticky tires out here in the east can basically be racing slicks all day long. The mud is just part of the whole "Pay to Play mentality" You pay by having mud and dirt in your eyes for the rest of the lifetime working on your Jeep.
Its the AEV SC 4.5", if you want to do heavy wheeling consider looking at a lift that comes with control arms and not relocation brackets. JKX bent mine!

How was the drive home? We had two hours of sleep before heading to the airport.

It was a long day, we got home around 3 AM Sunday. We ran into heavy fog and hail in the crossing the mountains in WV. I am ready to do it again!
