Default 2 JKs on 40's run Predator - Alot of pics!

So scottg07 and I ran a trail called Predator yesterday and had a blast. It took us about 3 hrs to go not even a mile....lol. Alot of the obstacles we ran were cut through the rock by rigs ALOT smaller than ours, which only made the technical aspect much more interesting. Beseides some wheel damage (I actually saw the inside of Scott's tire as he scraped against a rock), some bent exhaust tips and scraped rear bumpers, we made it out ok.

Here's the full album..... s677.photobucket.com/albums/vv140/jptwinz2

Enjoy!.......














































The one on the right is sad :(

you guys run stock dana 44's with those big tires? I figured I would have no problem running 38's with upgraded shafts and R&P. Of course I am basing this off your rigs

It's also a combination of knowing when to back off the throttle in a situation. Sometimes you can't help it and the damage is already done but being proactive in understanding how and when the axle could break sure helps.

sweet pics guys Not sure if you guys have run any trails in Parker or Havasu, but the Parker 4 wheelers and Havasu 4 wheelers put on some good runs. I have gone the last few years. They have some great technical trails, Desert Splash in Parker is Nov 13th-15th, and Havasu I think is in March.
