Why Rusty's Off-Road: We took our stock 2022 Rubicon out to Palo Duro. We turtled, scratched and scraped our way up and down the trails. Our trail guide (and Amarillo Jeep Exclusive President - Joe Pemberton) made it clear we’d enjoy it so much more on 35’s and a 3” lift. On advice from Jeep Jamboree and our trail guide we went for the Rusty’s 3” Advanced Kit. We installed and headed back to Palo Duro for another round. Wow, what a difference a lift makes. As luck would have it, we were definitely testing the lift and our jeep was extra flexy. We may have lost a few pieces here and there, but before we had washed the mud off Rusty sent us the parts to get back on the trail. Rusty actually checked out our jeep on the trail and what he saw went into the kit. Since then we have added a 3” Advanced lift to Lisa’s son's 2022 Wrangler Sport and we are getting ready to install a Rusty’s 2” lift on Lisa’s 2004 LJ. We went a step further with our 2006 LJR, after wheeling it in Palo Duro we left it in Amarillo for a little work. Joe based the build around Rusty’s LJ Unlimited Long Arm Upgrade. Wheeling a 6-speed is definitely an experience, but we got Rusty's stamp of approval while crawling JJUSA Texas Spur. We are loving our Jeep life and know that with Rusty’s we can conquer any trail.
