    Gray Wolf - The low key, stealthy overlander

    2022 Recap 14 months into Jeep ownership, there is an unexplained change in how we perceive vacation, our idea of fun has evolved to something else, and making memories has become a habit. I guess this is what they mean by the Jeep Way of Life! We are incredibly thankful for the experiences...

    LasFit AUX Panel for JL The best looking (stock-like) switch panel for the JL. Comes with 2 separate fuse boxes with 20 amp for red side and 40 amp for black side switches. The center thing is for some CB antenna wiring that I have no idea how to use. This is how I operate my front & rear...

    Notes / Rationale on my wheel and tire choice: The below link is a comparison between a Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets - Wheel-Size.com Sahara stock spec vs Rubicon (285/70/17) and my eventual setup (17x8 +30 wheels with 34.5x11.5/R17) The scrub radius of my setup is the same as a...

    Before Lift: After Lift: Regear Experience Log Noise and stiff gears First 150-ish kms, the rear had a radio static-like noise (likely due to new gear stiffness) and when decelerating/coasting with foot off the pedal there was a mild aircraft engine like a whistle At 250kms, it got much...

    Gray Wolf - The low key, stealthy overlander

    Netted about 3"-3.2" lift with the spring+spacer+shocks. It will settle a bit and eventually be around 2.5"?? I thought it was a lot of lift for the 33s that I have.. but I gotta admit the look is growing on me. Ride is fantastic. I used to feel that the stock suspension was squishy and leaned...

    Gray Wolf - The low key, stealthy overlander

    If it's just a feeling then it's something to get over. If for reals it suffers from higher CG and not offset by the crap ton of camping gear in the trunk then id have to be extra careful. I don't know how to measure this to test the limits though. 😃
