I'd totally love that, I bet I could convince some of the guys I wheel with from NEO4x4 to come out for some fun!

They were great, plenty of travel that's for sure! I'm not really concerned about ride quality off road, but I didn't have any problems with excessive/too little damping.

The one thing I have noticed is my front end gets a little light when I stomp the gas, but that may be because of TBar crank...

That's not bad at all, the place I went was almost a 2 hour drive.

Figured I'd post this again, gotta have the ***** to go for the glory.

That's me leaning out the door going "So the muddy water on the passenger side is halfway up the speaker."

Was a fun next two days. Lots of quality time spent with the driver side up on ramps and getting to know my garden hose and shop vac.

Should have seen the looks on the jeepers faces at jeep skool when I rolled up to the pavilion, put the drivers side on a slope, said "hey guys check this out" and whipped open the passenger door. I think I definitely earned Hummers some points that day.

So you're saying it's okay to spray paint over the dirt? I've got enough mud under mine from the last time out that I don't think spray paint will quite work.


BTW, how did the bumper monkey do getting over to the shackle without taking a dip?

You know, I've looked at this for a few minutes now and I still can't figure out what the hell you mean. Do you mean how hard was it to get the leaf down to the extended shackle?
