I will call out to you guys to try and meet up at the peak for lunch.

Cant see going there with 2wd.
That sucks man! I'm assuming your lift is too high to try and use a stocker?

How much lift you running? I am up 4" with my coilovers and have had the standard 4 door JK Coast front shaft for years without any issues.

2WD sounds like a good challenge. We have straps!

I've made it to the peak several times in my old 2wd jku. Liberal use of the skinny pedal and strategic tire placement.

Pulling the plug and moving to AZ. You'll love it. We will have to do some wheeling down there.
