Gonna stay the same height and go with the OME suspension system. I'll start piecing it together. Probably get the rear coils and shocks. My friends FJ Cruiser with an RC block and rear coils and shocks out flexed mine all day! I was lucky to have the QD2 and ELSD to get me through! I'll try to get pics posted tonight!Quote:

A few vids!I stopped on the hill climb in the comp area after I scraped and wasnt sure at the time what I hit. And I have only the cheap plastic skids. Looked to be the sliders,but I didnt know,so Next time we'll get it! After the water fording I had no steering for a few seconds.I guess I need a new serpentine belt?

Gotta be careful in that water man.. you went a bit too quick there. Right at 17 seconds in the video when you hit the gas is why most people hydrolock... water that's barely up to the bumper goes up to the hood when you get too anxious with that skinny pedal.
Yea I know,but its fun,and I got away with it this time!!!haha!! I'll check my air cleaner and see if anything got up in there.. My friend has another video with another crossing that was cool too! I'm use to my old Cherokee with a 3.5"Rubicon express lift and 33s.Quote:

The look on your face when you hit on that hill climb hahaah. I think it was the cross-member no big deal. I highly recommend you get some armor makes wheeling less stressful.
Very cool, wish I would have gotten out this weekend
I figured that was what I hit and i knew I didnt have skids so i backed off. No reason to break anything,that element will be there next time!That was part of the comp.course..My Radio Controlled (scaler)rock crawler made it no problem! You should have saw my face when I was teetering on two wheels facing the downside of a hill!HAHA!!Quote:

never got there! been there before with my friends fj cruiser. its an extra 10bucks to wheel there. unless your talking about the 8000acrs they just got permission to wheel on,by trail guide only? thats not open until dec. sometime.. theres plenty to wheel on the old side!
Yea i was talkin bout the old new land that you pay a extra $10 for... i didnt like it last time i went there compated to the old land. I wonder what the newest land is like
