Hey all! I guess I'll update a little bit! I haven't had time at all to be as active on here as I'd like.
Just came off deployment, PCS to Washington for school, and now going to Hawaii to deploy again. So at least when I get back this time, I'll be updating with suspension and more eventful upgrades.

But for now...

Some of you saw my pics from my cross country trip, but here they are again.

Stopped in CO to pick up a roof rack. I hate clutter in the Jeep...

From there, attempted to do some of the BDR in CO, it didn't go so well. Made it maybe 15 miles and turned around.

Highways were a mess..

Spent the night in Moab, and of course had to adventure some. Also tried to do some of the BDR from Utah south to Arizona.

Had to get the Warn out here, decided I might be in over my head, being that I was alone with no extra fuel or food. Didn't know how long the rest of the trail would take...

So I turned around and headed about 25 miles back to Moab...

Middle of nowhere, Midwest...

Starting to run out of time, I headed to HWY1. I stopped and went to the Hotrod Roadster Show in LA. Anyone else go? Those cars left me in shock. Awesome show.

Anyway, I shopped in Pismo just for fun.

Then found this gem, Usal Beach

Found my way up some really fun logging roads in Oregon

Stopped to see the giants.

I have hundreds of pics and videos, these are just some of my favs.

Used the forums writeup to do diffs. I'm going to have to get better at staying on top of this.

Picked up some goodies...

Emailed Painless Performance, they are finishing up a product that will work for those of us with a third peddle. So I'll get that bad boy and install this compressor.

Also stopped at ORE on my trip and talked with Drew for a while. Decided to go Enforcer 4". Are the king shocks worth it? Or should I stick with Rancho?

I can only see the kings being worth it if you plan on going fast in the desert. There is that sand dune place in WA but it isn't like your moving near NV or Johnson Valley. Personally I'd stick with the Ranchos.

I agree completely. I was only thinking Kings because I go fast where I can, and the Jeep takes hard hits sometimes. I bottom out the Leveling kit all the time. I just don't know how the other shocks hold up to occasional fast runs through small sections of trails and such.

It is a big cost jump though...

Sounds like you're primed to bend an axle. The savings from choosing the Ranchos will help you start your axle replacement fund. :crazyeyes:
