Baystate Jeepers

Hi there, Steve in Stratham NH checking in. Nothing crazy here, 2014 JK, small Rancho lift with some Synergy/JKS suspension stuff/CA's, and 4.56 regear to drive Cooper 34's. Wrestling in my wallet and mind between a winch or LSD/selectable in rear, as this is a DD 80% of the time. Freshly minted BSJ'er as well.

First Jeep, and about a year into playing with Jeeps, so excited about figuring out more what to do with, and can be done with "Orange Julius".

Great to meet all of you !!

Welcome New Guy to New Guy!

"Orange Julius" is a nice looking Jeep and an awesome name! Look forward to mudding it up with ya on the trails!

Welcome Steve, some great trails this year that should do your jeep good. Come on out we look forward to seeing you.

Welcome, nice rig.

Lockers only get you so far, a winch will get you anywhere. Well, within reason.

Welcome to the club. Nice looking rig.
Orange Julius sounds like a Treehouse IPA....

And Jason, I think we all know lightbars are what get you out of anything.

Lockers will get you there. A winch will get you out!
At least it has for me

For real.. I have seen a winch rigged up to lift a Jeep straight up because that was the only way.

"Light Bar " Where are ya when we need ya ? A selectable locker is every bodys dream . Get two ! Skid everything right after you gusset your front axle. 56s is a good ratio with 34s so the actual next step will happen after you wheel and find out where you want to go in this game . Do it once , Do it right ! FjR68

I did ( in order) lift, skids ( including LCAs) winch & lights at the same time. I've been unlocked this whole time only because I am hoping to re-gear and do the lockers in one shot ( why pay twice). I have had pretty good luck so far.

Yeah... i do not see a light bar in my future, no matter how intelligent, attractive, powerful, charismatic or skillfull the power of a thousand suns in a little rectangle might make me

JA - I did skid the CA’s, oil pan and tranny, but was not going to go much further until i bang it up more.

And I am feeling the winch is a winner once my tax return shows up. I tend to agree that lockers are a very nice to have, but getting myself unstuck will feel a lot better when (not if) it happens.
