Hello all,
My first post here and other than just saying "Hi", I had a question regarding a JK build that caters to excursion based photography. Just purchased a 2015 Tank green 4 door Rubi, and I'm looking to build it out for my 4-10 day photo jaunts I tend to do a few times a year. It would be used a lot on beeches as well since we just got a home on Marthas Vineyard, but I'll be sleeping in/on or around it and needs to handle fire roads and light trails and washouts, as well as having moderate fording ability/reasonable rock crawling ability (mostly for those riverbeds when they're exposed later summer) I'm looking to go "off trail" throughout MA/VT/NH/ME and upstate NY for animal and landscape shots.
So...The question (Finally
Would a gearing change be necessary if upgraded 35" tires/3.5' lift is used for the type of conditions I'll most likely be experiencing?
....And I would GREATLY appreciate any one else's experience building out a similar JK for these conditions and for this use in this area. This is all new to me, but I'm almost 40 and honestly, pretty tired of hiking 10-15 mile days with 55# of camera and camping gear...
Thanks all!
