I'll install the cooler and go from there.

Sounds like i should be ok with 33s on my tj with the 4.1 from the rubicon

Possibly into Montana and Idaho depending on where my career path takes me. After reading what everyone has said and doing a little more...

Hey everyone I am sure this has been asked before but what is the optimal lift height for a TJ. I got an 03 Rubicon earlier this and the suspension is getting worn and I am looking to replace it.

New member here #22398, I'm pretty new to the overlanding scene but, i grew up camping and fishing here in the PNW. I am looking to explore more unique spots around the state. My current rig is a recently purchased 03' Rubicon. I also use to own a 95 YJ but moved on to a platform with more...
