How hard is Charlou Gap? Can an armored stocker make it?

t-amos

the gap is not that bad, the tucson rough riders mantain it, so the sides of the road isnt falling apart. i think a stocker can do it, there are bypasses around all the really rough stuff. for the most part it it is dirt with ruts, towards the end it gets rocky and you have to pass through a few streams. i was out hunting in that area a few weaks ago and saw a stock wrangler and a few other yjs, dont know how far they got though.

I would try all the hard stuff then, I've got enough armor... I need at least a rear hitch though, I gotta have some sort of recovery point...

t-amos

ya i still need to get some recovery points up front, i have a hitch on back, what is your rigs setup?

nasonguy

basically stock, it's got some 29" tires (Wranglers, so basically "trail" tires, they do alright), no sway bars, a couple lights, that's really it. I'm telling you man, just removing the way bars has made it ten times more capable.

I figure if I have a hitch on the back, I can get myself un stuck from most anything. I should probably get something up front, even just a couple hooks, but I can't really afford that right now...

Got a 6 inch lift from rough country no sway bars inspired by nason an sye some 35 inch bfg km2s and thats it for me going to hopefully get a long arm up grade soon

BS, do you have quick discos? If not, how does it handle with that much lift and no sway bars.
To be honest, mine is bad enough with no lift, driving on the freeway is not a fun thing for me, haha.

bsflipfrontflip

actually handles well imo but the lift isnt to bad because you put on stiffer springs. Not gonna lie though the front end is pretty bouncy.

But got some good new i got everything rewired to day after a slight delay to urgent care. But now my running lights turn off and my hood pin kit is in. Now the bad New the front left blink is always on still and my blinkers dont work so i think i am going to swap out that flasher and see if that changes anything. But atleast i havent put the dash back in so if i do find more burnt wires to be the issue i wont have to take the dash out.

nasonguy

Awesome!

Why urgent care, come now, don't lie, did you shock your self? Lol, jk. We've all been there, I've been to urgent care more times that I'd like to admit, haha.

lol no finger got in the way of the knife when i was cutting the harness tape

t-amos

iv got a 95 with three in rancho lift on 31in tires. k&n air intake, two in rear shackels, sways diconnected, i also am short on money, thats why i have no hooks or anything up front

Well since everyone is posting what their rig has i thought i'd point share mine.

01' 2wd with limited slip, 30'' BFG A/T KO's, and recovery points front and rear

nasonguy

do you ever rub with those 30's patrick?

Tankerblade

Who's patrick? haha i think you were refering to the guy with the honda lawnmower. And i think your refering to me. I dont rub at all. unless im at full lock and it never did that before, untill i slid down a hill. now it just barely rubs on the LCA's. If nothing is wrong with your steering, and have the stock wheels/ stock backspacing i think you should be fine. although i still have the sways on. So i dont know what kind of rubbing that'll cause.

nasonguy

Haha, I must have got names mixed up, that's what I get for thinking I could remember your name after only hearing it once, I guess, haha.

Anyways, that's good to know, I don't rub unless I'm flexing hard. If I flex hard it rubs on some stuff. If I'm just level and turn full stop, it doesn't rub. Reason being though, is I barely rub with 29's, so I was wondering if it was much worse with 30's...
