carb'ed jeep in Big Bear

[Jr. Bonner]

how do they run up there? my '02 v8 tundra was kinda boggin, not sure if I would wanna drive my 90 wrangler up there.what have you guys experienced?

And your tundra runs fine at lower elevations? I don't notice any major difference in power at higher elevations in my fuel injected TJ. I went to Big Bear plenty of times in my v8 Silverado and never noticed any major power loss. Maybe a tiny amount, but not what I would call "bogged down".

I'm not commenting on your carbureted jeep, as I don't know, but your v8 Tundra shouldn't feel 'bogged down'.

Now, onto your YJ: I see lots of guys up there in older YJs and CJs, so you should be fine.

You shouldn't feel any difference with fuel injection. A properly running fuel injection system isn't affected by altitude. As for your carbureted vehicles you may notice a little difference but it won't be an issue. Big Bear isn't that high. My:2:

Yeah i live up there and i feel no difference driving my Jeep up there vs down the hill.

We have a carbed Scrambler that always runs with us and hes fine until he gets REALLY off camber then it kinda cuts out but hes never not done a trail with us.

When my CJ was carb'd, it ran fine up there.

My '90 YJ has done alright up there. Granted the Carter carb is crap, and I stalled it a few times accordingly. (could be the driver). My carb was WAY out of tune and still I did Holcomb with little difficulty. I'll hopefully let you know how the new MC2150 carb does on John Bull this weekend.
