    Im not as crazy as you, I was worried i'd leave my rear bumper on that drop off... its a good drop, hit the rear frame rails... It was the first real time i'd done anything like that... i've played in water and 2' of snow but no real offroading...

    Thanks, If the wind would have cooperated alittle more it would have been better.

    Also im still not sure on the spacers... they look ok but i think i liked it better without them..... I dont know how to describe it, almost like im driving a super wide hummer.
    I thought the spacers improved the stability especially off road didn't feel as tippy. Not to mention I think it looks better as well that wide stance looks right on the XK

    Did you put it in 4 low? Seems like the TCS was limiting your engine power and not letting slip occur at first. If you would have clicked the button once and made the light come on for TCS it probably would have done it. When you go to 4 low the engine power is no longer limited when the jeep starts to slip and only the side to side traction control functions which will help you find grip. Wet grass and less aggressive tires don't help either. With my agressive tires i rarely lose traction at all and don't usually need 4 low unless i'm trying to limit downhill speed or really just need some grunt and wheelspin. Nice vids.

    One last edit: Do you have Quadra drive on the 4.7l? That's cool if so. Mine's only Quadra trac.
