Been putting off wheeling the new JL because I was really enjoying that new car smell and I was concerned about dragging the bottom of my new Jeep. I'm running an Evo "Budget" lift at 2.5" as well as 17" KMC beadlock with Cooper 37/12.50/17 tires. The trail is technical and harder going to the lake than coming back. I highly recommend not having doors or top on for this trail for 4 door Jeeps the downside is its very dusty but worth it. I would describe this trail as similar to parts of the Rubicon. I rate it between a 7&8. More skilled drivers than me might disagree.
The Cooper tires continue to amaze me. So quiet and smooth on the street and handle the rocks great. At less than $300 a tire for this kind of performance not only are they a bargain they look good too!
IMO, the boost I have is way overpriced. Yes it's a solid kit but at almost $600 it's not a "Budget" boost. That being said it's quiet and solid.
The JL cleared most everything on the trail and I was quite impressed with the new locker switching.
Another thing that I was happy about was being able to turn 37"inch tires fully locked on the rocks! Has anyone else experienced this? I'll temper my full enthusiasm until I hit the Rubicon this weekend but so far I'm very very happy with the electric assisted steering.
At this point I'm probably gonna leave it alone as far as upgrades until March as I'm really wanting to do Evo coilovers with the longarm this time around.
So, in closing, I'm very impressed with this new Jeep and the Cooper tires and highly recommend you guys give them a look there also made in the USA! If I was doing my boost lift again I would go for something cheaper as it will basically be thrown in my garage and forgotten about when I choose my lift. The trail is a blast and here are a few pics...
