    First run after the lift and wheels and tires. Really impressed with the truck and crawl control really takes it to another level. My Jeep friends were blown away too.

    It looks like a fun day. You were really close to Bear Mountain and a snow run. A friend of mine was up there in his Tacoma.
    We're practically neighbors. I'm in Pasadena. I have a 2015 Trail Edition with a lift and bigger tires.

    Hi Jennifer,
    I'm not out driving around a lot. I did drive to Monrovia and downtown LA today. I drive up Angeles Crest Highway to go hiking about once a week. If you see me at my truck stop and go hiking with me. Or send me a PM.

    Who are you asking? The OP? I installed the ICON Stage 7 tubular lift with the Delta joints on the UCA. I bought the 2.5" ICON extended travel shocks. See my profile in my sig".

    Hi Narbeh,
    Thanks for the invitation. What time of day do you go for coffee at the UA theater? I'm up for coffee and conversation.

    Nice, but not sure why the Jeep folks would be blown away. A factory Trail Premium or ORP can easily keep up with a factory Jeep. The Rubicon with the sway bar disconnect is pretty competitive, but
    it has it's weak components too. Your lift is not much of an advantage off road, so its not really that critical. However, taller tires provide some additional clearance, if needed.
