The "Mid Life" buy thread

Just got my rig back from ORE and first let me say this was one of the most pleasant auto experiences I have ever had, On time, On budget with no hidden costs, Great and friendly communication. You guys have won a customer for life :thumb:

As far as the name goes I really don't have one and have been waiting for it to name itself - However my girlfriend always refers to it as the "Mid Life" so we will go with that for now :rolleyes2:

Started with:
EVO enforcer 4"
Bilstein 5100 Shocks
Draglink Flip
5.13 Gears
JE Reel 1350 Front Drive shaft
C2 Gussets
ATX Slabs
37" Nitto Trail Grapplers
AEV Procal

I feel this is your basic starter kit to run 37's
I held off on the higher end Kings as I don't know which direction I will go with my Wheeling. My current group doesn't bomb the dirt roads on the way to the trails at 70mph so I should be good to go, If in the future this changes (and I'm sure it will) then I am not out a huge investment to upgrade.

Where it all starts

Super happy the way things are rolling - Road Manners are very good and the ride is the same if not better than stock!

Next Steps:
Sports cage / Safety and more Recover gear
Trex Top
EVO Sliders
EVO Front Bumper
EVO Tire Carrier

That's a great looking Jeep! I live the way it sits. 37" tires look right on a jeep!

nice rig!!!
 
Did you do the pinch seam cuts and the Rubi Rail cuts already before ORE? Or did they do them for you?

As Panda said the Pinch seams are already cut from the factory on my rig but Yes ORE did trim my rubi rails back a bit and would have trimmed my seams if needed.
