went down to the New River Gorge Bridge yesterday and today. its the second highest bridge in the country at about 871 feet i believe...an amazing bridge....

there was a little narrow road that wend down to the river, and it was a beautiful drive........even found a trail or two to explore

got some great pics

these pictures were taken in the town of Gorge Bridge, WV...great little town there on the river






this was just some stream we found on RT 16 there between gorge bridge the fayetville, WV




this was just some abandoned old gas station that i thought looked cool

drummerwookie

hey thanx ol blue!

drummerwookie

yea, i got the WJ all cleaned up for this trip....everythings so shiny...lol

but its got some mud on it now from the trails...not much, but some

ol"blue

It still looks great. How many miles you have on it?

drummerwookie

right down there on the front bumper, where there is the opening around the front plate, there is suppose to be a plastic chrome strip right there under the plate between the fog lights, but it kinda got lost in a grill hight snow drift this past winter..lol

Mines got 87,000+. And I noticed that trim piece was missing. My SE has that painted silver, so it won't come off. How much trouble was it installing the lift and who makes it? It looks great. How's it ride on the highway?

Wow great pics I was standing right where you took some of those pics about 3 weeks ago

thanx Blue...it was really easy actually....the lift, i bought it from fatbobsgarage.com for around 90 bucks......i didnt buy any shocks tho, just spacers...but i liked the outcome too

but yea, i put it on myself, never having done one mostly myself, in about 3 hrs....every other time ive had one of those lifts put on, some one else did it for me, or i had alot of help

this time, i just took it over to a friends garage, he told me exactly what to do, and i did it with little help from my friend when it came to wrenching on it

so yea, not really hard at all

i cant remember who makes the lift, but i think it was a fat bobs garage special....ive had great luck from him, all my friends i go wheeling with get all their lifts and shocks and things from him, and they have never had any trouble....he is located out in utah

drummerwookie

oh wow, thats pretty cool......it was a beautiful place. i couldnt get over how amazing it was....cant wait to get back there

ive gone over that bridge several times in my big rig, but of course you cant take an 18 wheeler down to the bottom...lol....a bit to narrow

drummerwookie

i also love the power that 4.7 puts out...even tho mines not the H.O. its still got plenty of ***** as far as im concerned. plenty of passing power and pulling power. itll get right up and go

i went down here with my step dad and mom, and they wanted to take their car, a lexus ES300, but i said, nah, this is jeep territory we are going..lol...

and they were glad we took it with some of the places we went...and my step dad drove some today, and he couldnt get over the power it had..lol..hes to use to his 3.0 lexus..lol

i gotta give him this tho, his lexus, a 98 model, he bought with only 56,000 miles, and now has over 200,000 miles and it has not ONCE been in the shop for anything....its really amazing
