Why not MCE front fenders, much cheaper and may hold you over for awhile until you go full highline with the other associated mods
No doubt. I'd rather buy once, cry once and go full outboard than pay $2K for a 6pak of shocks. I usually spend $7 on a 6pak around these parts.

Especially if you consider an outboard is less than 2k, assuming you do the labor...
Marketing costs money
Oh, 2k is nothing in the new mall crawler game. it won't even get you in the door for the upper-tier foxes. Its 5k for the JL (and JT) 3.0 Internal bypass remote reservoir DSC's.
Granted, you could probably race with them (the foxes, not the MCs)

I still have some things I could do to the 33 build
1) Savvy Oil and Transmission Skid
2) Savvy Gas Tank Skid (I did the 1" OEM Gas Tank Skid Lift, but meh, just get the Savvy)
3) Another 1/4" of bump up front
4) Replace the front fenders
Everything else is dialed in. Shock travel is 50/50. No vibes. It's a great rig. I love it off-road and on.

Does that include the 23% Washington State liquor tax? That was a shock
Beer is not included, but my wife's Rum and Vodka et al does get the shock tax
Front axles are done, front brake pads are done, but no BBK. Steering linkages no done.
Because they might blow off on the highway.
No, they classify it as spirits. Beer is not classified as a spirit, so ABV in beer doesn’t matter. I’ve seen up to 9.9%. Spirits are taxed 20.5% plus a sales tax by a liquor store and 13.7% in an establishment
I’ve really thought about it and that might be a viable solution. I’m not in love with the look, but flat is Jeep original, and there is flex, so that might work!
You really only need fronts, and for $218 it’s a cheaper solution to a problem...cutting up the OEM fenders might be the push you need to go 35’s

I’m good with cutting up the OEM fenders. I think I might go this route. It was on the table two years ago, but they were like $550 then! I was like, shit no way, just not worth it. But the flex always attracted me, not transferring energy to the body is good, though those who have aluminum don’t tend to report body damage through hitting them.You really only need fronts, and for $218 it’s a cheaper solution to a problem...cutting up the OEM fenders might be the push you need to go 35’s

Putting in an order. Thinking about just going straight to 35’s without changing setup now, checking bump, making any smal adjustments needed and forging ahead to new realms.
Thanks, good thoughts!
