I guess this is the right place to post. I just moved over to the Jeep world about 3 weeks ago. I had an 07 Toyota Tacoma, that was my DD, and an 1986 Toyota Pickup Xcab, 34x10.50x15 LTBs, 4.7 TG gears with TG TwinStick, 4.10 IFS/Rear, Open/Welded, TG Sliders, TG front bumper with XRC8. I had fun with those, sold the 86 a few months ago. Then traded the Tacoma and my wife's Ford Escape in on my 2012 JKU. Transferring to Hawaii soon and can only take 1 vehicle on the US Navy's dime.

Day after


Wanted to get some steps/slider but did not want to pay almost 700 for the Mopars. Ended up finding the ACE rock sliders on here, and ordered from Jason at KOR.



Then after doing a good bit of reading I did not want to deal with Hawaii's RECON inspection for the time being so I ordered some stock size (255/75/17) Hankook DynaPro ATm. I have read that they are nice tires so I figured what the hell I will give them a shot. I will get them installed either tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

Welcome to the forum and to the Jeep community. I haven't spent much time in Hawaii but my last duty station was in Guam, and those islanders can really build a rig. I'm sure that there'll be some great jungle trails for you to tear up.

Welcome to the forum. When you get settled in Hawaii, go and see Rich from Ohana Trails. His shop specializes in Jeeps/JK aftermarket parts that you can check out when it comes time to build up your JKU. His club has some offroading events/meets that you can participate in. They usually frequent the "peacock flats" trail..

 

Good call on the rails over the mopar side steps

 

yeah i know, just gotta save up some money first. Im sure I will do something else in a few months.
Yeah I have already joined his site, seems like a really nice guy. I def plan on hitting the flats and such when I get over there
Yeah side steps would sever only a step function, no reason to buy something that will break while out playing.
