We went up to Eagle Rock on Sunday for a little shakedown run before the Asian Express run on the weekend of the 8th. I wanted to make sure that there were no little gremlins in my junk!! We live very close by, so it is a quick run up Gold Camp road. The trail has taken a beating from the recent rains, and was considerably more difficult than prior runs here....AWESOME!! We didn't get a lot of pics, but here are a few.

















We did have a slight amount of carnage. My friend in the teal XJ tore the DS UCA from the unibody....OUCH!! This happened about half way through that trail, so we had a rather interesting trip out. All I can say is...WOW, Jeeps are amazing!! He said he couldn't even tell it was gone!! We just took our time, and babied it a little on the way out, and it was fine. It is parked now, awaiting repair!! We are going to try to get it repaired before this weekend, but we will see!! I have to say, the addition of the front locker made a HUGE difference in the abilities of my rig. I basically walked through the trail with little issue. Looking forward to a great season of wheeling...even though it's half over!!

 

That sucks.... one less rig on the Asian Express...

 

Yeah, but now he is getting a Trek's LA kit....DIRT BAG!!!

(jealous!!)

 

nice to see pics of that on the trails again instead of in the shop, that trail looks pretty fun nice a rocky

 

kyle how many pounds of air do you air down too?

 

I didn't have to air down for this trip, so around 27 psi!!LOL!! If I air down, I usually go to 15 psi or so. Why??

 

Yeah, no doubt!! I didn't get any shots of the rocky parts!! LOL!! The shots I got were on the milder portions of the trail!!

 

just curious you didnt look like you were. i air down to 8 or 10

 

By the time you air down, your're on 27" tires!! LOL!! No, J/K, I just haven't needed to go any lower than say 12 psi. My tires are over 6 years old now, so they may be like a run flat now they are so hard!! I will prolly have to change them because of that, not because they are worn out!! LOL!!

 

lol true but i can climb pretty much everything. once i was at 5 pounds per tire and didnt realize it. i popped a bead.

 

OK, I'll remember you said that!! LOL!!

 

great to finally see it back in action. nice pics

 

Thanks!!

 

heard you met one of my zombie buddies up there? that true? lol saw your xj in his video

 

looks good nice to see it running and not in pieces in the shop. time for km2's about a 35 or so
