No worries - stop by for a beer :friday:

***Sold*** I've got a set of 2013 JKUR springs and shocks that I took off during my AEV install. They have 6800 miles and are in great shape Shocks - $150 Springs - $150 Located near Spokane Washington I'll be at the WA Overland Rally and can bring them along if anyone is interested

Yup - Leave Spokane Thursday afternoon.

AEV 2.5 Installed Well, that was a fun weekend. I remember now why I dislike working on vehicles :eek: I guess I've just gotten use to my bike lift and not having to crawl around on the ground :D It took most of the weekend to get the AEV 2.5 lift installed along with the geometry correction...

AEV 2.5 Arrived When I got home the AEV 2.5 kit had been delivered. By Saturay afternoon this is what the JKUR looked like

I've got a AEV 2.5" showing up tomorrow. Guess I'll be spending the weekend in the garage.

I've got that event in my sights. If I can get back form North Carolina in time I'll drive over Thursday night or Friday morning.

Thanks greater mn, I just am do that. I've downloaded the install manuals off AEV's website and given them a quick look over but nothing in detail yet. Also reviewed a few of the threads on the install process but ya just never know.

Yes I did. I may even try to install it this weekend if it's been delivered.

Nice looking jeep I pulled the trigger on the 2.5 AEV after talking to Dave at Northridge 4x4. If the springs sag too much then I'll just add the 300kg OME springs before we start the big trip. I'd thought about doing this even if I when with the OME kit.

My thoughts too. I leaning toward the AEV and then, if needed, put on OME HD (300kg) rear springs

No larger than 33s but both kits can handle 35s The RTT is the smaller 1.4m size but yes, it looks large. Maybe it's the T-top and extra room that makes it look bigger. We lived in a 2 person backpack tent for 6 months a few years back and that extra room on the RTT will be luxury.

Next up is a lift. I'm thinking about the OME 2" or the AEV 2". I've read a lot of good things about both. Decisions, decisions, decisions

I used those for my RTT this weekend too. They look good but I wonder how they will hold up after a year on the trail.

The RTT finally arrived The RTT arrived and I spent Saturday morning mounting it onto the JKU

If you are talking about efficiency, I've run my ARB with a second battery on several different occasions for multiple days before I get a low power warning.

Put the top and doors back on the JKU and drove it a bit. I'd say there is less noise then with just the bare tub and no the rear seat but maybe still more then when carpeted and with the rear seat. If I put the rear seat in I'm guessing it would be as good as stock. I notice the least amount of...

Tailgate Table I did add an expedition accessory - a tailgate table. It has been setting in my office for the last several weeks waiting for the bed lining to be complete.

Even though I'm planning on using the JKU for long distance travel I just purchased two Rugged Ridge quick release mirrors to use when I drive with the doors off - not something I'd do while traveling abroad but I just like driving around in a stripped down Jeep :)

I'll get back to you on that as the jeep is still wide open and there is just too much wind noise to make a comparison. I did notice an increase in road noise when I removed the carpets so I'm thinking the liner will reduce the noise - just not sure how much.
