Bought my JKU brand new in 2015 with the idea of keeping it stock... that didnt last long. Started off with a 2.5inch lift and 35 , got around quite well. Upgraded to gears and lockers. In the spring of 2019 once again upgraded to the 4.5 inch super flex kit from rubicon express and added some fender armor, much more still to come.
Have been putting a lot of time and effort in our local Jeep club that now counts around 650 members to have various trails from stock setup to 35"+ trails.
Our disadvantage is the local law enforcement here mixed in with unruling laws don't allow us to highly modify our jeeps but we manage.
Our jeep Club has various on and off road activities and social acticities when winter time rolls around, since our summer time trails are snowmobile trails in the winter we dont wheel from november to april.
