Default Eagle Rock Trail shakedown run

I just got my JK and immediately took it to a trail about 45 min drive from my house called Eagle Rock. This trail is not tremendously difficult, but it is my Eleanor. My previous rig was an xterra on 33's. I either got stuck or broken and needed help everytime I've tried it. Crappy iPhone pics, sorry.


Water crossing to start got just a little water in the floor.



Lockers wouldn't engage and I didn't air down (no ability to air up), but that didn't stop it from climbing over everything I pointed it at.









I was impressed and will soon try it out with the lockers.

geebee, that looks like a Mudhole near Terrace, BC I used to play in.
The grill came on it, but I kind of like it.

I'll have to see after the rest of the steering is upgraded, right now it feels like I'm riding on 4 marshmallows. That may be due to bad balljoints and no sway. Really, they seem fine on the road with a little growl. Thereason I'm taking them off is I drive an hour of highway everyday and th bias will wear too fast for me. 37 MTR Kevlar on the way.

pitbull makes radials now.... i dunno about the new MTRs from what i have seen if you like running even the slightest amount of mud or wet rocks etc they slip nonstop.

I'll have to risk it. Can't afford a wheeling set on the side and I drive 50 miles every day.

Where in BC do you live?
