It's getting frustrating to say the least!
Yeah, it was fun though! Paul is working on getting his new CJ ready. It just needs some TLC, like axle seals and a filler neck for the gas tank that you can actually get gas in . But overall it seems solid.

What happened to your locker? Did you smoke it that day or was it toast before?

More bad bushing?

Blues/Blacksamage likely, skids, differential protection, rock rails, 35's minimum, Lift for clearance, winch, proper gearing, Lockers.

Blacks/Reds: Damage is going to happen, Lockers front and rear, Winch, Skids, Differential protection, Proper gearing, Rock rails, Rollover prtection, 35's minimum.

Now everyone has to understand you are taking your Jeep offroad and damage is possible, even on a Green trail. These listings are solely My opinion! Yes you can take a less equipped vehicle on a hogher ranked trail, but these are what I'd ne looking for if I was leading you!





I agree for the most part on this but i was just there in a 4 cyl 98 tj with only 2 inch lift 32 inch tires and no lockers. doing black and some red. we had a great day with NO damage at all. but for the most part you are dead on in your opinion! if i didnt know some body personally i wouldnt take them black with open diffs and 32's. i take pride in no lockers and matching trails with those who are monsters. cant wait to wheel with you in oct. the JK is much better than the tj that is for sure. hell the wife even drove the jk on some black trails while we were there and it did great. i cant wait to drive it on trail 20 and 5. of course i think 20 should be labled red too those damn rocks were HUGE



07 JK Unlimited
3 inch BDS suspension lift

Warrior Products Tube Doors
Mopar Off Road Rear Bumper

okay .. so I read through the first few pages and jeepin dad advised to get a skidder or relocate the evap canister. I just got a skidd .. hope thats good enough. It'll be a blast ripping it off completely .... I have already cracked mine two different times just from wheeling easy out here in WA.

As for camping .. who is camping ... what do you do if all the sites fill up? I was planning on being up in PA the 10th ...

Ahum .. oh my other question .. on the 4wd waiver .. the board name, is that JK forum or on 4wd??? Im confused, it happens a lot with me!

I can't wait. It should be fun, my 24th birthday is the day after all is said and done. Hopefully I have a rig to drive home in ... ehhhhhh

Well if you break an axleshaft on a black hill climb, Usgaone and I are well versed in that type of recovery! It was on my Bro's Cherokee with 36 swampers and a D35 stock axle (not a smart combo) Rausch Rents an "axle roller" for 20 bucks that really makes the recovery alot easier. There will also be alot of us, so Im sure somebody will be able to help you out with any carnage you might create Plus my house is only 20 minutes from Rausch, so Im sure I could locate any parts or tools we might need to do a parking lot repair
