So cool! One would think that this kid that was raised in Metro-Detroit in a family full of Big 3 employees, I would have visited a line before...but no, and moving to Denver didn’t really increase those odds.

I think I have an uncle that works down in Alabama as some manager at a Toyota plant. I wonder...

It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand

Thank you very much for that message ! I am French and I appreciate it very much. France is also with you during hard moments in the USA !

Small technicality, the engine is still in the car. It’s just the blower that blew off the car.

“give me a place to stand and i shall move the world” simple machines man.... pretty sure that was suzuki’s philosophy with the 1.3 samurai, 1.6 sidekick, and even the .6L turbo jimny

And the once you’re done there, you can hop on the train and head over to the equally awesome Porsche museum on the other side of town. I’m still trying to decide which…

Indeed, 16. Not the best look, but I’d be okay it if I can get by with larger tires.

I really want solid steel smoothies though, kind of an old school look.

I’ve got 3.21/auto myself, and am wanting to go bigger on the tires but am worried about the potential loss of power that could result, so I’ll be looking out for your posts to see how it goes!

Also, I enjoyed 22 indicated mpg a couple of weeks ago while traveling for vacation. And they say Jeeps aren’t fuel efficient!

I want the lift to put a bigger tire on. Maybe something with a different backspace to give it a bit wider stance. Nothing giant, just a more aggressive looking all terrain. My brother owns rocky road outfitters so after that I can have his guys make me rock sliders.

Subaru called, they want their Crosstrek XV Rims back.
