Yes this RAM actually just towed a 6.4l JKUR from Michigan like a Cadillac! They are 40x13.50r17 Toyo M/T's.That is sick my friend. I am looking at getting a rebel to accompany my JKU. I don't need a 3/4 ton truck, and the Rebel fits the bill. 4 little parts that you make gets you 3" of lift from the air suspension, and room for 35s. I am going with the 121l tank, and the pentastar. No need for a v8 for me. I will only be towing an AR-ONE camper or our kitted out side by side.

Thanks! The overlook is off a dirt road named Skyline Drive, really cool spot. You are driving on top a 700ft ridge near the AT trail, that was once home to many houses that all were bought up in the famous Tocks island dam project. This beautiful stretch of land was in the 50's planned to become a 37 mile lake, but was fought and later became the Delaware water gap recreation area. Once past all the homes of the past, a beautiful mountain lake named Crater Lake is at the end of the road.
The waterfall is the Buttermilk Falls located off the AT trail as well, great spot and hike year round!

Rin, That's quite the toy you have there. I had been considering FOX shocks to replace our Bilsteins but after reading your build you now have me second guessing myself.
Congratulations on your forthcoming nuptials!

Rino, I am impressed, your build is great. Just a question, where is your front lic. plate,(a lot of states ticket you) and I can't see your third brake lite (Same as first question). I would like to do the same but don't want the hassle by the State troopers....I just installed the OME 2.5 level/lift with nitro shocks and love it, I could only imagine what the OME adjustables would be like......Thank You for your updates

James, the Old Man Emu BP-51's are brilliant in design, finish and ride quality. Being able to adjust the suspension between "light load" daily driving and "fully loaded" week long trips off-road, means you do not need to compromise towards one or another.
Also if you compare apples to apples with the OME BP-51's to Fox 2.5" Bypass DSC's, the OME offering is little over half the cost
And thank you for the congratulations!

Thanks for the kind words! In the rear I use an AEV CHMSL with rear camera. It is barely visible when not illuminated as it blends well with the Salta rim.
The front plate....
I should have a front plate, however it resides under my passenger seat. I have not been stopped in my JK's going on about four years without a proper plate up front, but I do drive like a grandmother!

it is starting to feel like spring here in north NJ! :sunny:
What kind of bike rack is that?! That looks like a perfect fit back behind the jeep! and some decent ground clearance too!!

This is a Rhino Rack bike carrier, not bad but a PITA to open the rear gate! I'm working on building a swing out for my 1up USA rack for the future

FYI the MWE rack looks like a great combo with a 1up. http://www.mweracks.com
I'll end up going that way at some point.
In the meantime, I'm using the Saris spare tire mount trays. Single bolt for easy on/off, it's relatively lightweight, and relatively inexpensive and I don't have remove a wheel or hang it from the top tune. The quality is pale in comparison to a 1up and I don't care for frame strap mounts, but it's only on the jeep when I need it to be there.
