So I've gone back and forth about getting one of these. Ideal Tire Groover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004…sw_r_cp_api_vW8Lxb3ZQFXTT I wasn't really expecting it to be easily acquired, but it's a little more than I care to spend on this type of thing. Thoughts?

first gear 4 high. no airing down needed. you won't, but if you think you're bogging, second gear 4 low.
driven my TJ on 33s and 4.10s. Also a 2012 stock JK. never had an issue, the DE beaches are pretty easy, but not easy enough for a minivan 
what's wrong with a 5.9? 250hp 350tq ... not a good candidate or not different enough?
Nice, Keith!
They really do "just work". The body stays level and the wheels float around staying in contact with the rock/ground. I'm expecting that they are really only usable for certain weight ranges and I think I'm towards the top end of it (4,800lbs with me in it). Looking to add some mini reservoirs (or gasp the new integral ones) at some point. (But gonna play with my rear pressures before I spend any money)
ooooh, we don't have those fancy wawa bags out here ...
I'd miss the beach a little, but not the east coast humidity.
ain't that the truth!
So, slightly related, I bought the spider web shade grab bag and it is perfect for me. It feels way too expensive but after one ride with it I'm really happy I got it.
no such thing as building (buying) yourself out of the fun zone ... 
so how'd the rig perform?
given the same weight and ride height, lower pressure in the bottom will dictate lower pressure up top (to get to the same ride height).
so if you have 60 in lowers, i would expect much less than 300 in the uppers.
when the shock compresses, the upper chamber increases in pressure. when the shock extends, the bottom chamber increases in pressure.
i think the manual recommends 90 in lowers as a starting point for a typical 5k rig, like a 1 ton jeep.
I run about what aaron said (100-120 in bottom) and 5 inches showing which is about 300-330 up top for me up front, and low 200s in rear. I'll have to find and share my spreadsheet with my ORI change log.
if you stick with 60s in the lowers and are about 5k in weight, let us know how it takes sidehills! (and show us some link pics)
looks slick, man.
you know, quadna gave me a tip about that, he said he used an iPad screen protector cut down to size on his in dash touch screen. Would be interesting to know if it panned out, as that was a couple years ago. I thought it was a pretty good idea.
I'd say stick with stock sized with stock sized axles and t-case. Front's still 1310 right? You'd have all of the same type and should be a bit cheaper. [font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I remember thinking that the larger joints lost some flex clearance prior. I broke other stuff before the joint in the driveline, and never did break a 1310 on my previous stock sized setup.[/font]
It annoys me to no end that what was $15 for a speedo gear, is now $150+ for a JK.
Very cool, guys. Wish I could have been there.

Aaron hooked my steering up yesterday. Fixed all my binding issues wich involved cutting off ALOT and then built new sway bar brackets. I now have lock to lock steering. Then he installed my hydro assist. I also picked up some chromoly axle shafts wich are in and a cj tailgate wich will be my next project. The d300 is gonna wait until after the comp. I'm ready for next weekend though!
Nice!
What brand and why?
I sometimes find myself wanting one because I think I would take it more places than the DSLR. But, I think I always conclude that the phone that fits in my pocket is really good and just easier. I use the DSLR when I want to make a day of shooting, and my phone for convenience.
Still want one though
