Trails look like fun. Everyone's perception of difficult is different. So it is hard to quantify. Looks pretty tough to me.

Thanks for sharing man.


As for those shocks... my suggestion would be to replace them with a set of 30.00 procomp 1000 series shocks. Yes, they ride like crap, but now that you will be wheeling more of the harder stuff, you will go through those rear shocks like water. If you do a bunch of road time, get yourself another set of the nice ones for driving around... just replace them with the shit shocks before wheeling. Your fronts are pretty safe unless you pull a rock up in there.

Yeah man... completely agree with that thinking.

A few trips back I ripped out a bar pin and rolled my axle forward.... got lucky and caught it right before it was going to be a BIG problem. Limit straps would prevent that... so on top of saving your shocks, it will give you another benefit that if ever needed, will save your wallet big time. Cheap insurance!

The rears are at a big disadvantage sitting where they do... I have seen guys run through very expensive shocks, just as I go through the cheap ones. Now my brute force style may not help the situation, but even a careful guy will come off a rock or back into one just right, now and again.

The thing that sucks about my suggestion is while some rock crawling will not care if you run that expensive shock or the cheapo one, when the other parts of the trail call for some speed, you will lose.

Maybe my suggestion sucks! lol

Suggestion doesnt suck. Its a compromise one way or another. I did add a nice "ding" to one of the shocks in addtional to over extending so I did come down on a rock with one.

You could also do other things.... evo system will clean that up or even going through the tub with different mounting. But your Jeep is beautiful, why screw it up with a saw?

Your Jeep loks great man, mine... never again... lol. I would never suggest to anyone to do anything near what I am doing to mine.... at least not for some time. And yeah, money is the biggest concern. I lost a lot of weight over the last year or two saving for my mod instead of eating.

That mounting position sucks... you get hung up and bust shocks, yet the JK with that limitation still smokes everything else out there .
