Looks like a fun time. I'm trying out the TJ next weekend at Haspin. It's getting the 8.8, 4:88's and Aussie's front and rear in it this week.

I can't wait to try out the new goodies

Nice set-up... what size tire???

Mike, thanks for posting them pics. The mud hole from hell looks way better in the pics...
You know like maybe a jeep can cross it...

Pics and vids to come.

33's for now. It will be a tad steep but I do have a 6 speed to help with that. My 33's are going to a good friend in a month or so (when he's wife lets him buy them from me

) then the 35" KM2's will go on with a tad more lift.

jmb8813 · 10-04-2009, 11:21 PM

when you get the 35s are you getting a lift also?

My TJ clears 35's now but I will be swapping in larger coils when I swap in the 35's for good.

jmb8813 · 10-04-2009, 11:59 PM

NKYJEEPSTER · 10-05-2009, 06:39 AM

Who know I guess the XJ just wasn't meant to go into a hole like that, when I get my clutch put in, we'll see if the YJ can do it.

Thanks. If all goes well I'm heading to Haspin Sunday morning to try it all out. If anyone wants to roll with me let me know

chris_dishmon · 10-17-2009, 08:20 PM

i wouldn't mind taggin' along in the next trip but open diffs and 31" some-terrains aren't helping me any.

WrenchMonkey · 10-17-2009, 09:54 PM

Long as you've got something solid front and rear to throw a tow strap on, you're more than welcome!

Robert

jmb8813 · 10-17-2009, 11:11 PM

we should plan another trip soon

kb9qdi · 10-17-2009, 11:17 PM

That is exactly the way I was running and even went up a hill or two that Nick (coppertop) bypasses. lol. 491 was great on 31s and open diffs. Except for the one mud pit. lol

Drivermod · 10-19-2009, 08:26 PM

Diggin' the flat black Robert.

Now that racing season is over, maybe I can get out to the trails with you guys again.

Thanks, I've decided I really like it, too.

Tomorrow morning I'ma start on the wheels, I finally decided on a dark metallic grey.

I like the color so much I think I'm gonna do the wheels on the tow rig and trailer to match.

I got the rears done this morning. It's a LOT darker than I expected. At first glance it looks like really glossy black, and I'm sure that's how it'll look in pics.

But it catches the light really nice, and kinda looks like the mirrored glass in the side windows.

I've decided I like it a lot.

I'll try to get pics tomorrow, when I do the fronts, but like I say, it'll probably just look black.

Robert

(And a mall crawler? Really? You have seen my rig right?!?

)

Robert ya hit the nail on the head there.

Coppertop · 10-21-2009, 06:51 PM

It's all good...:) I was just joining in on the fun..

Figured that was the hill in question.For the record ,I wheeled back up the creek and climbed the hill. I remember it well because, I just about got sideways sliding down into the creek.

No worries bout the mall crawler.. Till I see ya cruisin' a Macy's .
