So here's how my last two days went. Started the finishing touches on my buddy's buggy (that we completely rebuilt in 2weeks) around 3pm left to goto the U4 meeting for a few hours then got back at it around 9. Worked non stop til 6am when the buggy fired and ran so we were happy. Went to bed around 7 woke up.at 730 to head home shower change and head to an interview. Then helped Chandler install airbags on his dodge. After all that I didn't have the energy to paint my jeep. So I had my minions do it

Much better than rust, but I wonder how long it will last lol

yeah if the rear is narrow compared to the front the turning radius will be smaller, making you be able to turn sharper. most set it up 1-4" wider up front.

My waggy axles are 61.5" up front, and 58.5" out back WMS-WMS. hardly noticed unless you look for it. 1.5" on each side. I wouldn't change it.

However 6" is a big difference lol, I would probably throw on some 1.5" spacers....

I am kinda newer to the forum but I will be down there. We usually do an organized trail run then one on our own. If you leave at the right time you can usually dodge the bigger groups on the trails. That's been our luck anyway.

I was there watching that drunk chick almost get ran over last year. She looked a lot closer to being ran over from the bottom view than where the video was taken from. most are right, it has changed quiet a bit since I've first started going imo, but I still enjoy it.
