Three questions....
1) Are you serious?
2) Do you mean UP Eagle's nest or TO Eagles nest? You can get to it open....
3) Are you sure you know which obstacle Eagles nest is?

You really think a relatively stock XJ can get up this?

Note - in that picture I am stopped and have zero tires on the ground. Getting up in most XJ's would require extreme rock stacking - to the point of taking all triumph out of it, if there are even enough rocks in the area to accomplish it. Which I doubt.

hahaha definitely. Jason you where a bit left in that pic one day I'll walk the nest... may not be in my XJ but I will do it!!!

Just a FYI I drag hard with 5.5" lift and sliders, hard enough to where it was just about stopping all momentum. I also wouldn't really "try" it with less then 35's as the undercut on the drivers side it pretty big, let alone open-open... lol

Get her done! lol running cool now?

Just a FYI as I had never heard of them until I was Informed... 4crawler.com has some pretty cool items for leaf sprung options. I am not a fan of degree shims, ect. they will make you some weld on degree plates to weld onto your spring perch to re-degree it without adding BS to your spring pack, and they aren't going to break like a lot the POS cheap ones... they also sell offset shims and can make any kind of shim to your liking. any-who, http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/Shims.shtml

I don't like the plastic overflow bottle and cap. Seems if you tighten the cap just a hair to much, you have to tighten it again.
