Def. had a good time with you yesterday, Was pretty impressed the the new setup. Especially on that rock crawl we did. Great job

[ct67_72]

thanks man. I want to go back and take the hard line now lol.
Im always impressed with yours too. that thins has gone everywhere

[ct67_72]

got to do some wheeling yesterday. had some fun and really put it to the test.
had to get winched once on a real slick hill. rear diff was up against a rock and front tire was behind a rock on a steep wet dirt hill. got some good pics. not as good as I wanted but we were busy wheeling

I have also decided definitively that I will remove a leaf from the rear pack, add a 1" shackle and lower the front to match. I hope to end up down around 4.5-5" of lift on the 35's











she also got a well deserved bath today.





also, not mine, but one of the water crossings

[ct67_72]

been doing a little bit of work lately.
the rear quarters were cut when I got this jeep, and it not only looked bad, there was nothing holding the outers to the inner wheelwell. so this is what i did








then I took roughly an inch and a half out of the front springs to get it a little lower.


then I wheeled it!














works pretty well and Im happy with it. I need a longer shackle in the rear to get it to really work how it should and Id like it a little lower, so next project is to remove a leaf or two and get a shackle. Hopefully it will ride better too.

[clean4drxj]

I've seen some longer shackles around, what are you looking for(regular or boomerang)?

[ct67_72]

either one. cant spend a lot. has to be an 1"-1.5" Ill adjust the pack from there.

[wannabejeep]

i dunno what it is about this jeep, but I fuckin love the way it looks. Even with the snorkle hole.

[ct67_72]

Thanks man, Ive worked hard to give it a little character and have it subtely different that everyone elses.

The best days of wheeling are always the spur of the moment trips haha..It started and ended a little rough but that was a great time.

[ct67_72]

haha, and I just really noticed that you seem to be in a lot of my pics
but yeah, great day, thats for sure. got some good pics too!

[ct67_72]

oh and how the day "ended a little rough"


and what it broke on

[WickedXJ]

That looks like it sucked but hey it looks like it only broke the caps and not break like like Dave's Jeep a few months ago up in Hebron I'm also glad to see that I am not the only one to have broken something/broken down on that trail network.
