Rounding an off camber turn?

[flatpoint]

This may not be the thread to ask, but here goes; If rounding a slow, off camber turn,( like "chicken rock,pleasant canyon loop) would it be an advantage to "strap up" the sus. on the high side of the Jeep? Or would this be unsafe? I would defanatly hook my sway bar for this.Has anyone done this?

i would suggest a limiting strap or a suck down winch here is a great link to a suck down set up.

wow that is neat, but does it pay itself off in the long run?

ya i would use a less piece winch. but ya for tjs it keeps the front down and from unloading up a hill.

Can't you just use your bumper mounted winch somehow? Seems like a pretty rare occurrance for so much dedicated equipment.

i am sure you can. but if you look a Stu's site he likes all the bells and whistles on his tj.

Stu is a crackhead with too much time on his hands... (yes, I'm jealous)


Actually, I've learned a whole lot from his site. If it wasn't for him and Chris Overacker at code4x4, I never would have had the guts to do my 8.8 swap. Good peeps.

Does anything we install to make wheeling more fun or do bigger trails ever really pay itself off?

Gadgets schmadgets. It's more fun to take it to the edge...

You can use your bumper mounted front winch to do the same thing. But, by the time you get through with all the pulleys, chafe guards, and re-routing of the cable, you now have a 9000 lb rated bumper mounted front winch dedicated to nothing more than being a suspension suck down winch.

Stu's version is a tad on the easier and cheaper side.

Just go slow and get to know your truck. I have driven that spot several times I drive a FJ55 with sorts or junk on the roof like 4 fuel cans and some other junk. I have very soft rocking springs so it's very tippy.(it freaks me out some times) most well travaled trails are quite safe. just don't look down and you will be fine.
