I'd be interested in a 101 class too. I got a 2 year surf fishing tag and looking around the Newcastle flea market at rods and reels.
my dad would do that to get salt off the underside in the winter.
hows the lift? im guessing you took it to RC?
Yes, we did the 101 course on Sunday. It was great. The lift and the tires made a huge difference. I could tell my jeep was having a much easier time than the stock ones. I might have to try some black trails next time.
Using a sprinkler to remove the mud from the underside. Genius?

Makes me wonder how they do an alignment on a stock jk. I guess if it's stock and the alignment is off you have to buy new parts. When I took cars for an alignment they just had to turn some screws to adjust it.
I should also add that it feels fine so far and that I probably wouldn't notice the tire wear if I rotate them regularly.
Just got an alignment done after getting a 3 inch spring lift and 35 inch tires. The only thing they were able to adjust was the toe. He said everything else would require new control arms and trackbar. Thought you might find the results interesting. He also warned me about "death wobble".

I'm interested in a 101 course as well.
What about getting pulled over? I still have stock tires for inspection but do the police bother ticketing for this in New Castle County?
It's great so far. Haven't noticed any more body roll than usual in the turns. I got the tires done at newark tires and service center. They didn't know if I needed spacers or new lug nuts with the new wheels. They also weren't able to do an alignment because the Jeep is now too wide for their rack. He recommended some place where they do school busses. Do new aftermarket wheels require new lug nuts? Where's a good place to get an alignment?
After pics with new wheels and tires.

We had a successful lift thanks to E-Rock, Solomi, and whatevah. Thank you all so much for putting in the time, effort and expertise. I never could have done it on my own, especially during a snowstorm. I'll be getting the tires on Monday.
Some pics of the results

The good news is that I haven't seen much rust. I think the bolts will come off fairly easy.
It's been sprayed with wd40. Just picked up a can of pb blaster. I'll saturate them good in the morning.
9 sounds good. It's not supposed to snow until the afternoon. I wonder how effective wd40 is in these temperatures. I imagine it works it's way into the joints as the vehicle moves.
I went ahead and brought the doors inside, gave them a hot shower, and peeled off the tint. It wasn't very difficult.
