Thanks.

I have a 5D Mark II, 7D and 60D Canons

70-200 2.8 II L
16-35 2.8 II L
24-70 2.8 L
50 1.4
those are the lenses I use most of the time when I shot the Jeeps or cars in General.

Here are some pics from Medano Pass. one of my favorite trails in Colorado and it's actually pretty easy. nothing too crazy! only draw back is distance from Denver. I hate the drive which is about 2.5 to 3 hours away.

the trail has everything from water crossing, rocks and dunes. although it's nothing crazy. but you don't get bored driving

Jeep maintains a good LCG yet has good ground clearance







one of many water crossings





this is one of my favorite pics



someone asked me to post a pic of the High Exit exhaust. here it is









Left view



Right view



it feels like Africa here lol



MTRs did really well on sand. I'm surprised



airing up and getting ready to head back home.



overall the Jeep did really well. I think I'm getting the King shocks revalved a little softer. it rides really stiff even at the softest setting. I think it's because of the rack and tent. they weigh A LOT!

also, jumping out of my JK in 4 LO to the LJ it does feel like i'm racing. I'm looking for a rubi T-case if anyone has one for sale please let me know. I do prefer cable operated T-case. twin sticks are cool but I have no need for them for this Jeep.

Thanks

Honestly, once I have the shocks revalved I will probably say LJ because of turning radius and how small it is compared to my JK

I will take my JK over my LJ offroad! LJ needs a rubi T-case. I got used to the 4:1

you coming out to the JKX?

Hey guys. I hate to hijack here but those trail shots look pretty awesome, where is that at in Co? I am about to move to Colorado and I'm super stoked but I only know a few trails in the Breckenridge area. I'm gonna be in the glenwood springs area, so any awesome trails out that way you guys need to let me know about.
