If he’s young getting it likely won’t matter anyway.

If he caught it, it's because them damn Miata club gatherings don't know how to practice social distancing!

Oh he’s young. He made that very clear

Friday! At least we are closed on the house. That’s a huge relief!

Congrats on closing on your home and looking forward to see pictures of your new (to you) TJ that you are picking up on Friday!

No shit, there was a Miata meet up at the Fred Meyer parking lot yesterday in Corvallis - idiots.

Talk about a bait and switch!!!

No kidding. It really wasn’t planned, but I think this just makes the most sense for me to be honest. I don’t think I want to drive a TJ around with 35s anymore

It will be a great rig and likely do everything you need out of it. Are you going to tuck it or leave the shovel?

No way! So much better man

I am going to tuck it, yes. That shovel is just way too low, even for mild off roading. But I am thinking I’ll either do a 2.5” OME or Savvy 3” springs.

I agree. This one is more of my style, and at least I won’t worry about potentially breaking parts that are irreplaceable.

This one is in damn good shape too.

Oh, and interesting observation, I like driving this manual way more than I ever did my 42RLE. Who’d have ever thought? Feels so much better.

 

[Alex01]

Also, I may start a battle for saying this but, I think you're going to end up enjoying the manual much more than the auto.

Go with the savvy. You won't regret it down the line.

You beat me to it.

Tough take

 

[Chris]

I’ll have to let you know after the honeymoon period is over, but so far I really enjoy it more than my 42RLE. It feels more peppy, and I get to control the shift points, which I like better.

Savvy springs, 1 inch body lift and 33s?

Savvy springs, 1 inch body lift and 33s?

Depends. Savvy 3” springs and possibly no body lift if I can find a Nth tummy tucker (which doesn’t require a body lift), or I may do a UCF with a Lo Pro mount to avoid a body lift. Then I could stay with 265s and not have it look wonky. If I do a body lift and end up at 4”, I’ll definitely need 285s.
