Great looking Jeep! Do you mind me asking about the specs? Lift, rear bumper, other mods etc? Did you regear w/ the 37's? How are you liking the Trailworthy Fab beadlocks?

Thanks. 3.5 inch lift Rock Krawler, Jeep is an Auto 5.13 gears. Wheels are great, just a little heavy 135lb each:Wow1:

Is the acceleration comparable to stock after the re-gear? In other words, how bad is it? Looking at going the same route w/ tire and wheels, just want to have an idea of what i'm in for.

It is about the same as the stock 4.10 gears and 32 inch tires. If you have not done gears yet, and want 37s, think about 5.38 gears. I had the 5.13 gears done when I went to 35 inch tires. I think at 60 mph, the difference in RPM is only 200. Not worth the change for me, but something to think about for you.

unfortunately I am not seeing your pics but we did the Savanic, or satanic as we came to call it, mine road as a part of an Az strip 'great Adventure' several years ago. It was the start of a week and really had us second guessing out plans! Is it still pretty technical rock crawling? I need to go back now that the jeep is better prepared for the road. FWIW, you really CAN weld with two batteries if you a) have to, and b) have the rod and the skills, Im still running that driveshaft....

Cool mines down Paraschant canyon if you get the chance,

We went up there in Feb 2013 I believe. Road out past the mine was not doable by most of our vehicles (IFS Chevys and Toyotas) or at least that is what we were told.
We turned around and went over Mud Mtn and then to Mt Trumball School. This was the year they had the big rain and snow and the main road out to St. George looked like a muddy wagon track.
I spent $40.00 at the the car wash and still did not get all the mud off. Brought the truck home and ran the sprinkler under it for a day.
Beautiful country and a great trip! I will go back.
