Still have yet to see this thing, in my own town!

Where is that second picture taken?

[SuicideTireZJ]

Neil,

Transfer case is rebuilt (finally) and going in this week or next weekend if I'm lucky. Don't know how much I'll be driving it after that though, and you're on the complete other side of town from me. Is your rig in wheeling shape? Might be down for a shakedown run up Sevenmile next weekend (took the quads up today and there's tons of snow) if you're down.

That second picture was taken a couple years ago during a Mallcrawlin run up Crystal Mtn/ Moody Hill.

Ahh... moody. I like that trail, thats why I asked, I thought it was either Moody hill, or Old Flowers Road.

I just swapped in my hp30, and I am taking the jeep to a local shop to have both axles regeared in a few weeks, as they are currently unmatched, (AKA 2 wheel drive). It will be mid march before I have 4 wheel and the new 35"s mounted, then I'm ready to wheel! We'll definitly go this spring.

[SuicideTireZJ]

Sounds good. I just ran sevenmile on quads Saturday, makes me want to get the jeep back together even more. Unfortunately this snow and cold might set me back a bit. Garage is taken up by my roommate's project so this is gonna have to be a driveway swap. Can't do that in 3-4" of snow. Plus I gotta figure out WTF is wrong with my power steering, something blew and threw fluid everywhere the last time I drove it.

Need to convince my roomie to gimme the garage for a few more days. Want. To. Snowbash.

So Maxxy, when do I steal the front page from Matty?

[93ZeeJ]

NO ... my front page hahahahaha


congrats

[BigDaveZJ]

When I get back from Moab I'll get the front page done.

[93ZeeJ]

dont do it Dave,... it belongs to me lol

[chadjans]

Looks like the front bumper hits the tire. Start cutting.

[SuicideTireZJ]

Nah no interference, even with too short of bump stops the tire just rubs the top of the inner fender where the coil mounts. I hate that damn bumper though, I'm just not willing to put any more time into it. I'm hoping the KOR radiator support might help me strengthen the mounts for it a bit.
