Team,
Looking for some guidance on a build for running desert trails in CA and Az. New to this form and to jeeps.
Would use my 4Runner TRD on trials when needed to be street legal in CA and use the X3 on Az trails.
Now wanting to flat toe around more in CA mostly, just sold the X3 and 4Runner is next.
Want to build a daily driver to run desert trails to keep up with buddies Manx and bajas. They run pretty fast with trailing arms and long travel.
I know I won’t be running at the front of the pack anymore, but can I build a JL that I can drive to work and run whoops on the weekend and stay with in radio distance of the fast buggies.
Thinking 35s or 37s tops.
option 1 - sport JLU with new axles and long travel coil-overs,
Option 2 JLUR with decent spring and shock kit.
Total Budget = 60k
Are the suspension kits out too new to determine a solution yet?
Will rubicon axles handle desert whoops and G outs?
All advice welcome. Glad to be part of the forum.
