    I have never heard of such a long break in. I always do the 5to6 easy breaks from 25 to 35 to almost a stop then bump it up to 45 to almost stop a few times and call that good. let it cool down and drive normal after that.

    Check out the build
    This one is pretty simple. 10 hard stops from 45-10 then 10-15 hard stops from 60-10. One ofter the other no pausing.

    Would honestly just go get a JGC SRT8 if all those rumors come true. Which they probably won't.

    That's hot

    Would have thought Jin but that works too

    I don't know who that is. Google searches showed an effeminate fella that I assume is awesome at Karaoke.

    Yes. I really like opening my doors in sketchy off-road situations, to better analyze the situation. Might have to climb out the window in a Grand Cherokee. Frame flex. There are exceptions, but generally unibody setups are not good for wheeling. That's why the JK isn't unibody. The frame can flex while the body can stay somewhat rigid.

    I flexed the shit out my ZJ had a wheel in the front and opposite wheel in the rear off the ground at the same time. scared the shit out of me. until the front finally touched down.
    The guy I sold it too buys them and beats the shit out of them. he slaps on a ton of bolt ons and a 4" lift and just beats them to hell, then buys another one a swaps the parts out. cool dude. and the ZJs are pretty comfy to wheel and are super cheap. I debated doing the same but I had the chance to buy a Tacoma so I jumped on that.
