she drove for much of the backwoods trip and also a few trails in the upstate at the poker run. We havent had it on anything to crazy yet. but she is doing great so far.

Added a bit of pick me up this weekend. I may take the stock isolator a out and lower it a half inch or so. This is the 1.75 day star kit







It's a little bit of a roller skate now but after rubbing the underbelly off-road a few times something had to be done.

It looks good. Don't take anything out.

 

[rolledxj]

I agree with Larry. Leave the isolators in.

 

[LBarr2002]

If anything, maybe a 1" wheel spacer?

Smallest I have found is 1.25. I have thought about that.

CFS can make you some 1" spacers

The stock studs are longer than 1" so I would have to trim the studs. Not to keen on that. I may look into some 1.25 at some point.

Quit screwing around and order the dang spacers. Then go back and EDIT the post where you said you "won't be doing anything to it for a while..." and that way you can't be held accountable for that jibberish talk! Face it...you put seat spacers in before all of the "new" had burned off the exhaust system. Nobody on here is capable of leaving anything stock, that's why we are on here!! :smokin:

Haha, true, the first thing Andrea asked when she got home from work today was how can we make the tires stick out now...

 

[97TJGUZZY]

On the road again, can't even tell the trailer is back there.

[97TJGUZZY]

Joccassee, you coming to show us around?

 

[jimbo92]

I'm possibly bringing the jet ski up tomorrow.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Had a good time up there this weekend

 

[97TJGUZZY]

So those that suggested leaving the spacers in were right. it has grown on us and now it just looks right. I'm glad we left the rear isolator in also because when loaded down it sits about level now.

 

[97TJGUZZY]

Got the rear bumper put on last night after a little hiccup. Evidentially the stock hitch for a rubicon is different than the stock hitch for a 10A or rubicon hard rock. The regular rubicon hitch has nuts pressed into it, but the hard rock bumper actually has the nuts for the hitch pressed into it, so out came the portaband to cut the nuts off the hitch.

These are the problem nuts

you missed the part where she took the shoe off and stuffed it with all my bolts from the bumper. then scattered the bolts out on the driveway and drew circles around them with sidewalk chalk.
