    It really wasn't that bad. Some of the drops off the ledges on Golden Spike were much scarier!

    I should have some videos to post later this evening.

    X3 on a Moab Camp Commander!

    I'm going to stop looking at TBF's threads from now on... they always make me sad that I cant order my lift & tires right now.

    Sorry, man, but it's worth the wait! Maybe by the time you order SL/AEV will have worked out the problems with the rear arms and the tire rubbing. I noticed KMAX's Back To Moab thread below where he mentions the rear arm brackets getting all banged up. I had the same experience. They hang down way too far and every time it flexes, the 285s rub the door flare enough to pop the rivets. Bent arms attached to the OEM pivot point (like El Cid has) would certainly be an improvement that shouldn't cost a lot.

    The other thing I ran into was that during heavy rear flex, the driveshaft (balancing weight?) catches on the fuel tank skid plate and bends it down. It has been slowly tearing away at the plastic driveshaft bellows. It looks like the skid plate will need some trimming.

    Good points man. Thats actually one reason ive been trying to generate interest in other manufacturers to make a kit for the XK/WKs... without any competition I don't foresee SL improving their kit at all. It does however have me considering Rustys version to get the adjustable rear arms.

    Finally, here is the video of Golden Crack my daughter just finished last night. She made quite a production of it.

    Great video... those pictures are awesome..... these vehicles are freaking sick. Just a 4" lift and 33s.... most vehicles need a crap load of mods to even attempt that, and you made it look easy!
