Good stuff. Having done a night run in Arizona, I can say the rock lights are a huge advantage to have for this kind of thing.

I really like when you can hear the exhaust and whatnot of the jeeps in videos. I enjoyed this

You know without music, you can really hear the squeak and groan of the jeeps. Few of the times sounded like an old mattress getting a work out.

very cool to watch at night.

LOL!! yeah, after driving a ton of miles in the rain and snow and wheeling several days in a row, everything really could use a good greasing. too bad i forgot my grease gun

First off, thanks for another great video. I always get excited when I get my subscription notice to your video's on you tube.

Secondly, How many of yall have holes in the middle of your seats from butt pucker! Good jeezus, I was tense just watching!

My primary question is for the JKU rig/rigs running 35's. I'm gonna be ordering my lift and tires next month and am back and forth every dang day on 35's or 37's. I WANT 37's, because I know there will be worthy advantages, but also will incur alot more intial cost becuase of having to, sooner then later, swap out my D30 for something stronger. I don't want to get into a lengthy depate about the D30 and big tires. I just need help justifing the expense. Is the Extra 1" of ground clearance from 37's really worth all the extra cost for someone who's rig is primarily a DD. Or, could the saving from not having to buy a new front axles go towards better things like better suspenion ect.

I realize this is getting offtopic, but this video is a perfect example of what I'm wondering. My primary goal is to bulid a rig that will be able to make the trek out to Moab next year, or spring 2011, do some kick ass wheelin, and make it back home.

Either way, Keep the video's coming. It's motivation for me to work hard and eventually be able to play harder!

having run both setups extensively and still running 35's on my orange jk now, i can honestly say that it's a great setup. 37's are nice to have but really, there isn't a whole lot that a jk with 3" of lift and 35" tires can't do. going 37's is a big step and if you play hard in your jeep, it's a step that would require some serious upgrades.
