Thanks, completely new trac bar setup up front. The rear is staying sua but moved back and with the rear shackle mounts under the frame for a little more lift to match the front. Hopefully be back out soon, I waited as long as I could to get all the parts I needed before disabling the red jeep. Now that the frame is all welded its time to thrash, and yes I did send off the original with flying colors.

Looks like Old Florida Road, been a long time since I've been there, (2 motors ago!)

What I was thinking... I haven't been there since 2002 I think. probably way different than I remember

Yup its a good run for guys with 33's & open.  Not so much beyond that.

All depends on how you ATTACK it.
It's not very technical, but I stood it up again on the second obstacle and snapped the rear spiders in half, then had to finish the run in front wheel drive. That made it more interesting.

dam dude were you ainn 4HI?
I think the snapage might have been due to the fact that your foot never left the gas pedal that never left the floor board.

slow in Lo I think you'd have been able to save the snap

That was 4wlo. With a tired old 4 cyl, 4.10 gears, and 35" tires, low and slow = stall. Plus it was its last outing so I wanted to make it a good one.

well, place look pretty much the same, little rutted.

Looked like fun.

  It'll go Slow in Low soon enough when you get it back out there.

I was impressed with the frame build... after the vids I know why you need it!

[mika401]

Man what tire pressure were you running?
There was like 0 flex in those sidewalls

[navman]

10 psi, with the lack of crawl ability I left them up a bit so I didn't kill the sidewalls with the rims. I'm sure the lack of  rear shocks didn't help either. I still can't believe the old frame survived what it did considering it's condition. I still don't know about the whole low and slow thing, I'm definately more a point and shoot guy.

[BiGdAdDeE]

You definately get where your going without wasting precious time.
vids were cool though.  Hope the suspension in your seat works better than under your rig or your gonna need back surgery sooner than later with those hard hitting bumps

Little from column A little from column B, there is no one better method.

A little update pics

Looks great!

However, I do not think that the D30 will be happy under there for very long.
