It looks as if it may not be a total loss, but has substantial damage to the body, and suspension. My brother-in-law and I are repairing it under his LLC if thats the case, and am starting to put together a parts list. That being said, if anyone has pictures of their JKU on 35's with the AEV...

I’ve never gone through this process before, so I’m not sure if I have to take it somewhere to get inspected or if USAA will come to look at it, or if it’s done through pictures, which will make it difficult to show how the Jeep pulls hard to the right now, and the brakes and suspension scream...

Shit happens though, so no biggie in the long run. Hopefully its a good payout if nothing else. I'll for sure replace the hood and cowl and windshield and frame. The quarter panel is probably good enough, I'll just use that money elsewhere. I'll definitely look at the mopar OE replacement panels...

So my only update so far isn't a great one. We woke up to the sounds of a large tree falling on top of vehicles in our condos parking lot here in ATL. My jeep took the brunt of it. Fortunately I have insurance (if USAA ever responds to my claim), and nobody was hurt. My future brother in law is...

I will certainly do that. I deploy in a few weeks, and will come back to a pile of Jeep things I intend to order, and lift will be one of them for sure!

Awesome! Thats a relief for sure. I'm fixing the headlight bezels today, and then I'll do some little things until I save up to snag the lift. And as far as Commando goes, I used to have a Jeepster Commando. Check it out, ugliest damn mud buggy ever. It had an AMC 304 in it, Toyota axles, and...

As far as lift goes, I'm intending to go with the AEV 2.5", but have some questions. I intend to install them with my future brother in law, who is an engineer, and a Land Rover guy, but has a shop with everything we would need. I've lifted TJ's and CJ's, but never messed with a JK. For the AEV...

Thanks man, I appreciate it! I saw you're from ATL, I live here most of the time with my girl, even though I'm stationed at Benning, so if you ever need a hand or want a trail buddy, hit me up! I live right by Ponce, in Druid Hills!

Yeah that was a big factor for me, I just love the Commando Green. It makes me happy. Just what I needed too, more Army green stuff in my life lol. I was looking at the AEV 2.5, which for $1k seems pretty all encompassing. Teraflex was my second choice. I just want to make sure that avoiding...

I traded my 2010 Toyota CrewMax Tundra for this a few days ago. The Tundra served me well, but I wanted a fun adventure vehicle that we could throw kayaks on, fill with dogs, and just go wherever we wanted. Take to the middle of nowhere for a photoshoot, but still comfortable drive through big...

Your intro paragraph made me laugh. Looks great so far!
