Hey now. She did that herself.Is that the new even lighter Savvy Skid
I did made the call to reverse and ruin the skid vs keep going forward and plow the rock under the axles.
I saw a bit of nervousness on her face after it was done and I reminded her that trail wounds are just mandatory ungrades. Clearly the jeep is asking for a lift and tires.

I think the wife’s Jeep is going to eat Alex’s for lunch at Sand Hollow next year. She is competitive!
How does your wife like the JLU? I'm going to need another car for my wife, and a 2022 JLU with 4.88s and 35s is tempting.
OP
She loves it. Which is amazing to me because she never even wanted to look at jeeps prior. After driving a mini van for awhile she felt like she needed something more fun so dove in deep to the other side of the spectrum. Believe it or not I actually tried to push her to drive other makes/models but she loved the jeep.

JL update:
2.5" MC lift installed which netted closer to 3.75" in its ultra light configuration. Still need to receive/install bumpers. Ordered some dirty life wheels and still in the market for tires but leaning towards 37s.
Before:
After: - skipped leg day
I was proud of this little hack to line the axles back up. I marked 3 points with my laser level at ride height and once it was lifted used the marks to set the new TB.
looking like it may outgrow the TJ when the new shoes arrive.

Can’t let the wife’s rig be bigger. Time for tons stretch and fodeez.
Can you say kids your Mom and I both have Jeeps ( Just Empty Every Pocket ) so you need to play sports and get a scholarship if you want to attend college.

No kidding. The 4-year-old starts soccer this year so hopefully, she's good.Can you say kids your Mom and I both have Jeeps ( Just Empty Every Pocket ) so you need to play sports and get a scholarship if you want to attend college.

Lol. A bit taller than expected but zero vibrations up to 85 and still feels stock. I'll call it a win

The JL grew up a bit today.

Looks great.
Awesome choice in wheels, I'm thinking about those exact ones for my TJ.
Welcome to the Hydro Blue club!
