Well that is a bummer! I know what your feeling! But just get it on Friday so you will be able to cruise it all weekend and break those gears in so then you can go play with it!
When I talked to Drew yesterday he said that they were actually still waiting on my coilovers and bypasses to get done a King. He said all brackets were burnt in and just waiting. So I'm sure Ole Betsy is taking up some shop floor. Prob your space!

Caught the Bug
Yes they were!
At 75 mph it was around 3300 RPM. I just hit 30K and had them drain my trans fluid. No harm at all, but I was only doing that for ~15 min at a time. It was a lot of fun around town. I could light up the tires without trying too hard. :rock:

Oh I bet you could! I'm sure that was fun! I'm sure it was Like a frog leaping off from a stop when you got on it.

I GOT MY JEEP BACK! I came to ORE so late, they were putting the cars they had upfront away. Everyone was in a hurry to get out and I couldn't get back there to check out your Jeep unfortunately. But I'm planning on swinging by during the day next week to pick some merchandise up and should be able to see your Jeep then.

I got my Jeep back from ORE. I shouldn't be surprise but I am. The gussets installs are beautiful to say the lease. On some sides that needed to be welded before installingonto the C's. The welding is so smooth you can't even tell they were welded. Hard to explain. Should have taken a before pic.
My switch panel now needs to be replace. Before it never bothered me. Now it's just fuuuggglllyyyyy.
And lastly, my air compressor. I thought it would be a lot bigger from the online picture.

Drove out to Burbank today at 60mph After 50 miles I was averaging 20mpg . As far as noticing the difference I can only tell when going uphill because. No more gear hunting. Normal driving it's hard to tell because I'm going so slow off the line. Next week I'm only going to pick up some T-shirts and and order a diff cover that's all.

Wow! I'm impressed! More that you could average 60 on the drive home in LA traffic at quitting time! I'm sure it it a peace of mind to not have to worry about every little incline.
I wonder if you get a few t shirt with a DTD install, maybe? I also wonder if they have some infant clothes, need to start the boy off early!

I left to Burbank late around 10PM so traffic was a light. And yeah, it would be nice if they threw maybe even some decals in.
When you get your Jeep back, do you have any plans on where you may want to test out your new DTD?

Rite! A shirt and a couple decals in. Perfect!
No plans yet. Gotta see when my little boy comes. He is due on the 18th and I'll get home from work on the 12th. So I don't have much time in between. I have 6 weeks off so maybe I can find a few days to get out stretch her legs a bit.
So how is Beth doing?

She's doing good. Got over 200 miles since getting her back. I can now drive normal speed. At 70 I'm a hair under 3k rpms. So I'm trying to keep it around 65 when on the freeway. It so easy to pass people now haha.
I have a friend that works for Falken. I'm not a big fan of their AT tires but with the savings I could get I'm trying to justify if it's worth it or wait to get what I want.

Rite on! I can't remember the last time I passed someone on the highway in my jeep. I just set the cruise at 65 and get in the right lane. But my Raptor that's a different story!
So that's not to bad at 3K. So what a normal day of driving consist of?
I've got no knowledge of the Falkens but I'm sure someone on here might. Did yoy search to see?
