Looks awesome. I'd be puckering as tight as a dolphin's blowhole.

And that's when you shoot your spotter! What an idiot! If you already have a tire in the air why would he tell you to continue going driver when it will clearly cause you to tip backwards? Some people have no bushiness spotting!!! He should have told you passenger to bring the front end down.Originally Posted by TrialByFire

I don't have the front sway bar disconnected so I lift a front tire all the time. The problem was that the rear passenger tire was too high on the wall. Once I backed down a ways and reset about 1-ft to the drivers side, it went smoothly.
Why not disconnect? I have been doing it for a while with great success!

I've been meaning to experiment with disconnecting the front (I do disconnect in the rear) but I wasn't ready to try it in Moab as you do not want to unload on the off-camber sections up there!

The front and rear heights are within 1/2". The bumpers do make it look a lot taller.
The disconnects in the rear are the JKS 2001 model.

Man, oh man, I can't wait 'til May!!
Although, some of those places, I'll have to be guided thru with a blindfold on - so I don't have to see what's comin'Maybe I can duct tape cardboard over the side window so I don't have to look DOWN.

VERY COOL!
I loved wheeling with you and your family last summer in CO! This trip you just had to MOAB looked awesome! It looked like you had fun!
I had fun just looking at the photos since I have seen you in action, LIVE before.
Thanks for the pics!!!

It was a very good trip! I brough a very experienced wheeler with me to spot and advise. It was a huge confidence-builder.
The one thing folks will need to get used to about Moab is the steepness. The friction on the sandstone allows for some very steep climbs where all you see is sky over the big XK hood. They really aren't hard. If a Crown Victoria can do it, how hard can it be?
