  • I liked what the 4 link calculator showed, so made that happen. The only question remains is how bad it interferes with sliding over rocks.

      • Well we will see if it hops over big ledges a bit better. I like the lower roll number also. See if I can lay it sideways more than this before it tips over.

        • Freddy and me as happy tinkerers must be doing something right. Looking at the video of this full on competition buggy trying to get through resolution, and all the trouble it is giving him. All I can say we had an easier time getting through it. Video does show how steep this trail is though.

          • Im sure your an awesome driver, but...

            Try putting a helmet on, fully strapped in, window nets, doors (body panels take away visibility) and his tires look to be at racing air pressure.... just sayin...


            I said the same this one year, the day before KOH 09 when I walked right up the plaque on Sledge with 35s

              Did Sledge Hammer twice in my little Jeep on 35's neither time had a problem at the plaque or at the previous ledge that pretty much everybody bypasses these days. His tires didn't bite for nothing that is for sure

              • Art,
                Let us know how that monitor does in the sun light out on the trail. I have thought putting cameras on as well. I like your thinking!

                    The rear bumpstops are where they need to be and figured out where the front bumps need to go.
                    Measured the limit straps so now on to9 mounting a York on my beastie and tomorrow starting on the roll cage.

                        I bet… I am still going thru the thread but had to post the previous comment. Crazy shyt man. I am learning a lot from one of the guys at my office I have been helping him out with a Mazda Crawler.( http://explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=310166) I figured you need you know how to fix something if you are on a trail.
