The thing that sticks out to me is the gearing. I don't know if you picked up the TJ with the diff gears already in place or bought them yourself but I recently moved up to 35s with the OEM 4.11s and manual trans and it's tolerable in city driving but horrible on highway/interstate driving. I'm moving to 5.13s.

YMMV

I bought it with the gears however it's not too bad on the highway...I rolled down 81 for a few hours at 70 no problem but yes I hope to switch them out one day soon

Have you considered tube doors ?
I’m absolutely in favour of them ( please don’t ask me why ,lol, i built my own from 2 inch electrical conduit material )
- we didn’t have much of a summer up here and the one day I installed them , I didn’t take any pics 🤨
- there’s a picture in my profile with the drivers side tube door installed
- BTW, what brand longarm lift did you purchase and why this brand ?

Haven't posted here in a while but yes, I would definitely love some half doors, especially tube doors! I'm curious to how you made them and am looking forward to those pictures! Also, I believe it's a Rubicon Express Longarm Lift kit paired with Bilstein shocks...it came with the Jeep and the longarm lift was the only thing I really wanted when getting a TJ so I guess I didn't really choose :)
