2020 Red OR Build Plan - Help Spec it Out!

Yeah... sorry... realized that late... see second post and others in the thread.

Haha 27 for me. She let you pick red?

 

Yeah... she likes the red... liked the green better (raised two daughters in a green MY 2000 Ranger we bought new and everyone loved) but you know... she hated the scoop and I hated the up-charge on the Pro AG 6MT!

 

Stickers. Get some cool window stickers.

 

Get a bronco and you can spec it out to 35 from the dealership.

 

I looked hard at the Bronco, but I can't wait a year plus I need a bed... live in the country and need to move things a lot. Also, after my experience with the first-MY JL I'd rather roll the dice on something long in the tooth vs. something that needs some shaking out.

 

Okay, so based on feedback so far here's where I am:

1) Suspension (front -> King extended travel 2.5” coil-over w/ new UCA & rear -> King 2.5” w/ TBD leaf-pack)

2) Tires (thinking BFG A/T KO2s, Toyo Open Country R/T or Goodyear Ultraterrain 265/75/16s, or maybe Cooper ST Maxx 255/85/16... dunno C vs E) w/ re-calibration

3) Armor (not sure about steel underneath here... had a T4R that I weighed down with steel front & rear which turned into a dog even with a regear... suggestions on lighter underbody products would be welcome... steel for the sliders, for sure)

4) Regear (Nitro 4.88/5.29 w/ REM and/or Cryo... interested in thoughts on ratio... dont expect enough weight for 5.29 and wont go over 33", but i really, really like low torque)

4a) TW drive shaft (maybe, depending on vibes pre/post lift)

I'll post back when I finalize the above and get it all underway. Thanks to all!!!

Picking it up tomorrow, people, and have decided to start off with an OV tune!

Bought vF Tuner and the 3.5L tune pack today... downloading the installer as we “speak” and am going to go with the Full Otto Base to start. Only question I have is whether to go with 91 or 93 out of the gate.

Anyway, once that’s all dialed in I’ll move on to the rest of the plan.

Can’t wait!

Cheers, y’all!
