No, I still have not installed it yet. The instructions are calling for a Inch Torque Gauge, which I do not have. Most places I have read are saying to just torque it to 160 Ft/Lbs, but I haven't pulled the trigger on whether I should do it that way or not.
Too bad you are kind of far away, would be great to have a second opinion. Thanks for the offer though! Let me know if you feel up for a road trip!

For those planning to go I hope you like mud... last time I went that's all there is there. Trails are tight and poorly marked but from what I can tell they are working on that. Oh and did I mention mud? Every spot we went through had decent sized rutted out holes that like to bend tie rods. Also make sure you have rocker protrection esp. 4drs, drop offs are everywhere. Stockers can wheel there but make sure someone has a winch. Warpedguy and myself had to be winched a few times and we have decently modded jeeps on 35s. Iwont go back there until I have a dedicated trail pig that I'm not afraid to beat on. Its not as fun in a dd.
Any other questions about the cliffs,ill do my best to answer them

I did the Spartan Run there in October. Shoe sucking thick mud and I couldn't tell you what was a trail or just woods. It did seem tight and I was wondering how my 4 door would fit

Been there a couple years back I know how you all felt. But like you said, they did some remodeling.... I can give them a call to see whats new etc. but just had the urge to finally have some fun on trails with my 4door. Me and one other person...
