This is what a XJ can do locked front and rear. NO sye, or upgraded steering. Just lock right,4.10's and a RK 3 link upfront.
MPJAI in one line

Jersey wall on quarry trail





getting a lil push



Chapel trail... first rock garden on it



I have heard this obstacle called many things from V notch to Upper 3. Pics dont do this obstacle justice. Its at about 60* maybe a lil more. Its kinda tippy back to the right rear.

No real damage to speak off. First day I ended up "re trimming" my fenders due to me slicing one cause of too much stuff flex. I put some serious dents in my rig. I am going to end up plating my frame at a minimum. I think I am also going to do a flat skid plate, out of 3/16.

My set-up just flat out works. it is a prety basic one at that too. RK 3 link with rough country 4.5 coils, and the rear is a RE 2" shackle with aal and a hammered flat spring pack.

I plan on buying a couple piece of 3/16x3 plate and doing my frame rails using 1" dimple dies 4" on center. Then I will take some more plate down the bottom of it using 1/2 nut inserts every 4". After I lay it out o the plate drill it, then cover it in that fancy 1/2 plastic they are using for skid plates. Sounds like a lot of work, but I all ready told ppl I am going down in tire size for next yr's run there

I am on 33's To make the obstacles more about being a driver, and picking the right lines. MOst of the obstacles were relatively easy for me on 33's. I have a set of 32 TSL's and also a set of 31 AT's. I am trying to prove that tire size doesnt mean crap. There where plenty of rigs denied on that obstacle this weekend for one reason or another, most with bigger tires.
