x2

 

Had a great time this weekend at Rock Run Rec in Patton, PA.... A couple shots from the trip:



Started the day out by checking in at the office. My partner in crime with his TJ, lifted about 4'' on 35's:




At the trailhead, before setting out, we made a couple adjustments to our tire pressures:

 

jeeps looking good man.

 

A few shots from a random black trail.... My buddy is an expert spotter which made wheeling through this part of the trail very manageable.

























A view out the back window:

 

We took a ton of video so I'll be working on getting some of that posted. I'll probably remove the audio though, cuz I swear a lot

Thanks bud!

 

Love the rig man. Just where I am going....4.5" lift with 32" tires.

 

That's what I have, I will be going higher soon

Where did your spare tire dissapear to? It was in the first pic, and the wheeling pics it's gone!

 

It's in the back. You can see it in the bottom of the last picture

 

Thanks for the comments everyone!

About the spare, it is in the back like derfernerf pointed out. I decided to put it in the back to keep the XJ a little more streamlined and make sure it didn't bang during wheeling. Probably unnecessary, but it made for a nice picture.

I'm at work now, should have some video up later tonight.

 

A couple little vids...

One of the disadvantages of control arm drop brackets:


Some random footage from a blue trail:

 

Wow, that was a lot to read. I really appreciate your taking so many pictures. I am still stock as far as suspension goes, I have been reading a lot of build threads lately for ideas, so like I said, it's nice to see one so well documented.

Oh! And I learned a new word from you: concomitant

I look forward to seeing you do work!
