Hello all. I’ve had my 2013 JK Sport since 2015. I bought it with 30k miles on it and it still only has about 55k miles. I lost interest in it and it sat for a few years only being driven enough to keep the battery charged. Then in January 2021 my wife and I bought an RV and decided to flat tow the Jeep. One of our first trips was to Moab. We did a few trails that my basically stock Jeep could handle but missed out on the really cool trails. I decided to try to make the Jeep more capable. It now has a D44 front, regear to 4.88, lockers front and rear and adjustable control arms. I am happy with the result. It still tows well behind the RV and I have been able to do some pretty tough trails at Windrock and Stony Lonesome. I have fallen back in love with the Jeep and I’m sure I’ll be more active on the forum. Happy weekend to all!

Sweet! Funny how a new pursuit can steer you back to an old one, isn't it? We've been tossing around the idea of getting a used Class A or C to do pretty much exactly what you are doing.

Hard to tell with the fenders you have, but did you lift it, too? Went to the Northwoods Jamboree in Wisconsin earlier this month and I've decided I've waited on re-gearing long enough. I have 3.73's in my sport and am looking for a D44 to swap in at the same time.

What model Jayco is that and how well do you like the towing? I'm guessing it's got the turbo diesel?
 
I had a 40ft diesel pusher and flat towed my 2000 TJ. I fulltimed for 8 years just workamping my way around the country.
