Something I've learned from your travels and my own is that less is more. From an engineering background, simplicity is best. Although large lifts and tires look cool and perform well offroad, and, if installed methodically can be reliable, I've just personally listened to too many squeaks...

I need to see how much one of these would cost to import. I'm also curious how much is interchangeable with Jeep. I like your idea though @jscherb, A body swap to something more modern underneath would prove much more bearable for daily driving. There are plenty of donor JKs that could serve well.

Aside from parts, this is why I try to really think through modifications and their impact on driving dynamics. Putting my wife and toddler in an obnoxiously lifted Jeep-induced rollover incident would be unbearable. I trust AEV parts - suspensions and bumpers. As Dan mentioned, the amount of...

Bump for a great looking set-up. IMO, this is the best color Jeep and the best package. I hope you get a good sale and this goes to a good home.

I Love this!! This would be the true Land Rover Jeep we all want. Longer rear overhang, higher ceiling. Sign me up!

I'm glad to see it sold. I talked to my wife all weekend about it and kept getting a no. Instead we're getting a rug. Good luck with the sale! Hope its going to a good home.

Looking great! I'm a hair confused on dates. So did all this happen around 2016 to 2017 or are you still working on it?

That's a nice looking new seat!

Great looking Jeep! Bump.

This is one of the things I'm curious about. The JK isn't new but it isn't old either. So I imagine getting the computer synced will be a challenge... at least for me. lol

I'm similar in that i enjoy long drives of 12-hours or more. Before kids, my wife and I would often do long first day drives to get out of Texas from Houston. The key for us was always lots of sleep the previous night and plenty of quick but fun stops to keep energy going. Whenever I can get a...

Congratulations! Looks similar to mine. I too have an ARB bumper but with an 8000lb WARN winch, HELLA lights, and am running AEV's 2.5" lift with 285/75/17s. Its a good combination. Also, I STILL have a full-sized car seat, facing rear, behind my seat for our 3-year old. However, I'll be...

I think I need to correct myself. I found my 2016 (brand new at the time) Jeep on Cars.com for ~$41k. In my previous post above, I did a build and price on Jeep's website which is not accurate.... On Cars.com (like I searched last time), I'm seeing Jeeps like mine with even more options for...

Wow! Is yours a plug in? I just can't believe those numbers. The Accord isn't a super light car either. I wonder if its mostly aerodynamics or what.

I see a new grille on the F150 every couple of years. Back in the day, the grill and entire front end stayed the same for 5+ years with interchangeable parts. Nowadays, each model year has a a whole slew of new changes that require redesign, retesting, and retooling. It IS more expensive to...

Its refreshing to see this thread seem to hit the nail on the head over and over about how its simple consumers and market greed that have driven costs higher and nothing from politics. The economy is strong and people have money/debt to spend. I find people often forget that if they want a...

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?
