Well you think right. But it doesn't mean it wasn't stable as hell. This thing is like 96" wide or so from outside wheel to outside wheel. Made it up the rest of the way to. I am mainly lowering it becuase I couldn't see a damn thing but my fucking hood the whole trip, plus it will be that much more stable in situations like that. I have some video clips. Just need to get the from my buddy. It will be coming down about 6".

Bad ass man, I can't wait to make it out there myself.. one day... :D

Ever since you "finished" that thing, I've always thought it was super high.. The body's pretty and all, but lose some fender and gain the COG advantage you're forfeiting right now. Just my two copper coins.

ya, that thing is tall. Looks like you had fun. Coming back for GSW?

wrong line on escalator BTW ;) not sure how you did that at 96" wide lol

Funny that you said that. I asked the same question while I was up there. Where you taking me Todd, (that was my spotter). Got me threw it though, and made for a good pic. I assume I should have gone left, made a little more difficult for myself I guess. LOL.

And I would really like to get back for GSW. I need to install my bead locks and lower the rig. I need to talk to the wife. I didn't confirm so I am really not registered, but I might be around with another buddy in a built scrambler. So I am hoping to hook up with you guys.

Sick rig... its always good when months of hard work pay off on the trail. Hope to see you out at GSW. :driving:

Cody

the key is to stay about 4 inches further to the passenger side than you think you need to be. Stay pretty high on that wall and you'll be golden.

did you drive back down it? thats a good time too.

I backed down a little. and moved 4" or so, like you explained. Cake walk from there. Went right up.

For sure. I ahve some big convincing to do with the wife. That past week was expensive. But I really want to go back..

Yep, Moab gets in your blood and you start Jonesing about five mile on the way home. Take your wife and get her addicted too, then it is somewhat easier.

A little over a month before I get back over there for some more slickrock.:D

Really nice pictures, post more...

Tommy
04-19-2006, 04:43 PM
Thanks. As soon as I get my pics uploaded I will post what I have. There are also other pics floating around from other people I was with that I need to round up. The wife was with me and had a great time. It was really her first wheeling experience so she got a bit freaked at some instances. But she is rather stoked about it. She wants me to build her a rig now. I already have in my what I want to do. A few more things planned for the ZJ then onto hers.

Hmm... didn't see your ZJ there.

I saw a blue ZJ with white tube on a GN trailer, not sure who's that was?

I was there all week from Monday to Saturday. I left Saturday morning to get back to Temecula for Easter, for my daughters. I didn't see that other ZJ you mentioned, would have been cool. Actually stayed at the River Canyon Lodge.

nate
04-20-2006, 01:38 PM
Yeah I was there from Wednesday to yesterday. Stayed at the KOA campground. I was hoping I'd run into someone from this web board, but there were so many people there it was nuts!

Dunno about the rigs on the 2nd page. Wasn't the same time we were there.

Matt

Nice Rig!! Tons of flex. Good to see all the hard work pay off.

Here's the stuff I took at EJS. Had a ton of fun and can't wait to get back. We were there from the 9th to the 12th. Ran Top of the World, Gemini Bridges, Fins n Things, and Hells Revenge. Now time to start winching for GSW; should be a whole new animal!!

Once again, this is why we live in America. Not necessarily to rip on what people have done, but to have the freedom to build what we want the way we want it. And have the freedome to express our opinions.

If we all want the same cookie cutter rigs ideas, why mod them? Some people want taller rigs for other things besides Moab without running 40+ tires, build it for what you want to do with it and then make adjustments from there, but just because it doesn't float your boat it doesn't mean that it doesn't work for the builder's other trails.

That said we are on mallcrawlin.com where you have to have thick skin...

More nice pics thanks for sharing them. Less than a month and I'll be down for a day of prerunning a GSW trial with the local Jeep club.:)

LOL. Just wait, have some plans to address this.. And with that being said, regardless of how high it is, it works, and hasn't flopped yet.. Really didn't take that as a knock towards my rig, this was kinda of a first time thing for us. We are still learning..

Setup on CJ-8 is pretty bad ass. Something you guys built?

Tommy
04-27-2006, 06:03 PM
No, it is a buddies. He is actually changing the rear setup. He is going double triaqngulated four link in the rear like mine. The current setup has the CO's angled way to much. It squats and lifts the front up. That is why you see the front wheel in the air like that. He is going all poison spider fenders, 16" CO's and it is a bad ass rig though. It has an LS-1, atlas, etc. etc . It is fucking bad ass, very capable.

LOL. You guys suck. Thats my homey Todd. That is his scrambler, he is cool as hell......... Fawkers! Plus, Matt if you thought that was a chic you have serious issues and should look into glasses......

Matt
04-28-2006, 10:11 PM
I have glasses. :booya:

Tell Todd he has a kick ass scrambler. ;-)

I have a ton of pics on my site of the Moab trip. www.98JeepZJ.com then click on photos.

You know it would have been cool to rally all the guys on this site that were down there to have a beer or three, or maybe run a trail. I had planned on GSW, and also later this Sept... but the cost of fuel made that impossible.

Tommy

Damn my rig was way tall in comparison to how it sits now....

yeah I was going to comment on how tall it was, how much have you lowered it?

Tommy
03-27-2007, 12:51 PM
It sits a little over 6" lower now..
