JL JOURNAL : FLEX TEST of Our JL Wrangler with EVO Long Arms & Coilovers

Caught the Bug
Attributable to the fact that I'm exhausted after being stuck in a Time Warp while reading INFIRMARY threads last night. It was after 2 a.m. before I knew it.

Eddie I have a question about highway ride in this configuration. I just spent a week in Montana with my brother’s stock JL and that ride would be tough to give up if you drive long distances. So how does it compare?

Deep down I hope that's your gladiator frame right there in the pic!

Unfortunately, it is not. This is a JL build that EVO is working on and if you can believe it, it has a Demon under the hood. :shock:

Like my grandma used to say..."now we're cooking with gas"...

LOL - this thing is gonna be the shit for sure!

Nice. Shades of Sandstorm.

If this ends up on your JT, you better name it Shadestorm.

LOL - nice but this is not our JT.

Ride quality is 100% subjective and in my opinion, stock is really nice but this is right in there with it... maybe even better in my opinion. I do a TON of long distance driving and love the ride.

I concur. I have nearly the same setup (different tires), and the on-road manners are quite exceptional. In my opinion EVO JL Bolt-On Coilovers + EVO JLU High Clearance Long Arms + Cooper STT 37x13.5r17 has resulted in a JLUR that rides and handles on pavement better than stock, including highway speeds (80 mph). I say this with honesty, and not as a fanboy or as person that has spent money and unwilling to admit the truth. If I was unhappy with the performance this system, I would say so.

Is this a customer build or one of Mel’s toys?

Glad to hear you agree :yup:

Can't remember the exact numbers but it puts out something like over 500 HP at the tires! :shock:

I believe it belongs to a customer, named The Chupacabra.
