How's the ride? Good compromise between on/offroad? Any vibes? Looking to lift but keep a nice ride on road, as my trips are more tame than most. Mostly fire roads with a few moderate trails. Thanks

I can't speak too much for offroad as I don't wheel hard either, but check out @KraziAzn 's video: The MUD 100 series Videos thread
He has a slightly different setup (OME TBs and Ironman coils I think) but he uses Tough Dog shocks.
On road the ride is firm but smooth - no vibes (vibrations?). The LC handles amazingly well in corners - almost zero body roll. I drove through some winding canyon roads and it almost felt like driving a sports sedan.
Fire roads and moderate trails should be a piece of cake with this setup.

You nailed it. OME TBs (from what I heard, all TBs are the same, just rebranded) Ironman springs with TD 41mm front / 45mm adjustable rear. Super comfortable on road, a lot more stable during high-speed/corning, a lot less body roll over OEM.

As far as off-road, it soaks up the bumps really well. And when you're going over obstacles it doesn't feel "floaty" or "roll" back and forth like the OEMs.

If you're doing mostly fire roads, you'll love the TDs. but don't forget to lower your PSI too. I usually lower it to 18PSI and I bomb down the trail, 20-35mph. Especially around Joshua Tree, you can go around 40+

T-BARs smallest to largest. Not to mention materials, country of origin and final quality control make each very different.

LX AHC stock - 25.5mm
OEM stock - 28.87mm

OME - 30.5mm
Sway Away - 31mm
Tough Dog - 32mm
Ironman- 32mm
TJM - 32mm
 
Went on another 200 mile run through the Ouachita NF, on the northern end this time. Great day for riding the forest service roads and trails.

Ouachita Trail next to Flatside Pinnacle.

Also took a ride through Holla Bend NWR. Didn't spot any eagles today, but met a photographer and he told us to come back between January and March, there will be a lot then.

Also, I've noticed I need some new camera angles on my LC haha Cheers all!!
 
Goffs School House finally was open when I went by (near the Mojave Road and Route 66). Dennis Casebier was instrumental in getting it restored AND for getting the Mojave Road a designated route and keeping the land grabbers at bay. Absolutely beautiful late summer day haha, 75 degrees, sunny and a gentle puff of a breeze

Looking east along the Mojave Road. That thin, tan ribbon is the road...

Getting ready to gobble up some of the Mojave Road, west of Piute Pass and the first real time that you can break off some miles without crawling over a rough two-track

Just installed OME 865s in the back. Still have OEM Toyota TBs and new OEM shocks. About 21" front and 22" rear.

Got our Christmas tree yesterday... enjoyed a great trail ride with friends and the kids had a blast choppin' the tree, sledding and pounding the hot chocolate!

Went wheeling with a bunch of Toyotas. Got a badass 80 destroying the trail.
