How "family friendly" would a box canyon run be? I need to convince the wife that it would be family time and not just Jeep time. And would unlocked be ok?

Duct-tape would do me no justice

haha Well if you can fix a shock mount with duct-tape then you'd be my hero

To be honest I'm not to sure, the guy i bought it off of cut the fenders so it's hard to tell, but I'm almost positive its a 4 inch lift. I'm running 33s and its a perfect lift to tire spacing. But I want to get a 5.5 long arm lift

oh you gotta love when they don't want you near stuff, but when other people destroy it they want the people who respect the rules to help watch. and then they wonder why no one does...

Yeah It will be awhile before I can get mine..but first i want to upgrade my axles... last thing I want to do is break one on the trail or something...

Well hopefully they don't just start closing more or charging to get in them... I hate you gotta pay to get into the white tanks or lake pleasant. (good thing theres a back way ) but still... haha

Dang, I was hoping people would be ready now. I was good to go tomorrow. Oh well, let's still plan for one anyway, I'd like to get a group together that knows where they're going.
