I have the AEV 2.5" kit with geo brackets and I love it. Well thought out indeed.

Wow. I really expected this to be a simpler swap as, I thought, I've heard of a number of people doing it.

I swapped from the stock sized battery to a slightly larger one with more CCA, Reserve Capacity and Amp Hours. If I remember correctly, I bought my first one in 2018 after only 2 years with the stock one. So, the last AutoZone Duralast AGM Platinum lasted me ~ 5 years. I replaced it as soon as...

Looking great! Any idea of the weight difference between the two setups?

I didn't make it out this year due to work conflicts but if it was anything like last year, there was probably a lot to see and a LOT to buy. Last year I stayed in the premium camping section and was a little bummed out with the lack of people hanging out late around fires. It seemed everyone...

Congratulations on graduating, the new job, and the new truck! Those are some exciting changes. Some ATs will be plenty for one of those trucks. They already have so much ground clearance. Glad to hear you're keeping the TJ though. That's a hard one to let go of and not regret afterwards.

I have AEV's 2.5" lift with Geo brackets and 285/75s on stock Rubicon wheels with 1" spacers and all is well. It's truly a great set up. Before and after geo brackets was night and day. Small road imperfections that used to jar are now back to just being bumps.

Just googled ARB Tundra.... and I agree! This looks great!

I know it isn't the same but compared to our Wrangler, the 4Runner is much better. That being said, with AT tires, it isn't crazy quieter. I imagine Lexus has that part figured out.

Great write-up. It looks great! I love the snug lines and high-up position. ARB really does make the best stuff and I think their bumpers just look classic and timeless... which is probably why i went with one too. lol It sucks they didn't have one turn-key for your application. I'm not sure how...

What a cool looking van! I've been trying to convince my wife that we "need" one of these things for a couple of years now. Good luck with the sale!

Love the way your build has continued. What mileage change did you see with the gears?

The Willys will treat you right, especially with the Pentastar. I've had my JKUR since new in 2016 and it's been pretty good. I've only had a few issues in the time I've owned it. 1. The engine developed a tick (Rocker Tick) around 90k miles (in 2022) and I had to have the heads replaced with...

I love this idea. There's a similar women-only event, called the Rebel Rally that takes place here in west. It'd be fun to do this. There's plenty of rally events for car enthusiasts but not many for the off-road crowd.

I would probably jump on this opportunity if my JK wasn't paid off. That being said, I use the back of my JK all the time and would have to have a bed cap on a Gladiator to get the same capability. I DO think Jeep will discontinue it soon though and that these will become hot-ticket items on...

Great pictures! I used to only know Sema as the place for tuner cars.... now I can see it is that and so much more. One day I'll have to make it there. Are there token times for journalists and vloggers to make the rounds without attendees or is it just a come as you are whenever?

I replaced the OEM fenders with some new ones and installed a 'new-to-me' AEV rear bumper! This thing is leagues better than the stock plastic OEM one and matches the OEM fenders perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I had gone back and forth on what to do on the rear end for years, leaning...

Yeah I didn't realize my terminals were loose but I had a similar situation a while back and reset them and sure enough.... issue went away. Super weird.

Man this would have been so cool as a kid!
