    Just an idea for up front... I'm dying for someone to try the KING coilovers. With everything you're adding on that would be ideal for fine tuning the ride height. You can get them custom made for 2-4" lift.

    Do you know how much it may cost to get 4" King coilovers? I assume that in order for them to work, you'd also have to get the longer knuckles, diff drop, etc. from SL.

    You run the coilovers just Like the OME or any other budget boost lift. Just don't want to go too far over 2".

    Last quote I got was $1450 for standard 0-2" lift coilovers and $1700 for custom length.

    That's still better then the JBA 2'' coilover kit that they sell.

    Picked it up this afternoon. It had a couple of extra things I missed when I first looked at it. It has the bluetooth in the rear view mirror U connect for the cell phone. Also has a couple of wireless headsets for the VES. I was actually thinking as I drove it that it was a pretty nice street jeep. Maybe a "Mall Crawler"...nah. I was amazed that there are no dings inside or outside. I bought it from a Lexus dealership and they really detailed and waxed it. It really does look showroom fresh.

    Took a couple of pictures as the sun was going down.









    My cousins Pam and Greg, and his wife and child are going up the coast to Washington state on vacation so I am going to give them the Commander for a few weeks while I plan the mods.

    Since I am a full disclosure kind of guy, here are the details on pricing. KBB was just over 23K, bought it for 20K, after TTL it was $22,110.62. Now this was from a dealer and it seems about a clean as I could ask for. It has 62K miles and no they did not do the 60K service, so I will have to. When I bought my other one new it was about 43K and this one has some more goodies
