    Driving difference between stock and metalcloak 2 1-2” mid lift

    MC GC 2.5" with Rocksports and 34" Nittos. I had the same tires on before and after the lift. Ride is comparable, with a little better compliance over really rough surfaces (like railroad tracks). I don't try to corner like a Vette... so I don't know, but doesn't feel like it wants to kill...

    Looking at adding dual batteries

    I put my odd Warn XD9000i on my Jeep and have been thinking about dual batteries ever since. Of course I ran that winch on my old Jeep and just had one battery... but adding a fridge wasn't on my radar, either. So... following this one.

    2 1/2” lift what shocks

    Did Rocksports... for the budget. Plenty happy with them. I might change when these wear out, but certainly not in a hurry.

    Wheel spacers...

    Had Rugged Ridge spacers on my last Jeep. They did fine. I rotated tires about every 4k and torqued the spacers every time the tires were off. Didn't ever notice issues with them losing tightness, either. BTW, they don't stress wheel bearings any more than changing to a wheel with the same...

    Gear Oil Visualization

    It is a REALLY good series. I think there are 4 or 5 parts out so far and at least one more to drop. Timely since I need to reseal my diff covers and was going to go ahead and do covers at the same time. Now I in a hurry for that last part to drop so that I can make a decision on which cover...

    Tire size disparities

    Big difference between an unloaded tire and the calculation for revs/mile. If you look at your tire mounted to your Jeep... siting in the garage or driveway, and measure from the center to the ground, that would be the rolling radius and would calculate out pretty close to the revs/mile. If...

    The hidden glove box

    Picking a Top

    Running a hard top. I would love to get a soft top, but SO many choices. My kids want the top off all of the time... tough decisions. This is probably the right time of year to find them on sale, though.

    Fridge install in a JK

    Another consideration between cooler and fridge/freezer is that the cooler needs space for ice. So, if both are "50 quart", the cooler has much less usable space for food.

    MC 2.5 or 3.5 Game changer Question

    I have the RockSports on my 2.5" Game Changer. I think it rides slightly better than stock. Travel is good (although I know it would be better with the 6paks). Frankly, I only had enough budget for the RockSports, and will likely upgrade in the future when it is time.

    Can you find a nice YJ anymore?

    I see them here in GA, but 4.0L are tougher to find. There is a HUGE price difference between the 4 cyl and 6 cyl Jeeps. In fact, the price difference is almost to the point of being able to swap in a later model injected V8.

    2 1-2” rocksport before and after. I love it.

    Did the 2.5" Game Changer with Rocksports, also. Lovin' it. I have 34" Nittos... I could be happier with the tires, but the lift rides great and works well on the trail.

    MC 2.5 or 3.5 Game changer Question

    This has been my big question, too. Currently running 285/75R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers, and I know they would be fine, but the next set will be a 35" tire. I like being low, but also like having a lot of flex. Of course, I have started enjoying a cush ride, too.
