I have the LoD rear and I don't think any other bumper sits as high away is this does.. because it is flush with the rear cross member!

my dent is on the bottom obviously.. I took it coming down from Cleveland rock! you might have seen the obstacle .. but everyone that was with me took a hit ..nothing to major though..I was just saying

I've been looking at advanced adapters rubicrawler for the auto trans and the atlas 4 speed. Are you happy with the 3.8 or do you see a 5.7 hemi in your furture?

Thanks

Great Pics
I have a manual and the stock transfer case.. I think it does good.. but i'm droping a hemi in pretty soon and will change my T-case along with it... all i'm focusing on right now is a classic mini cooper and a tow truck

If anyone wants super big pics of my rig please let me know and I can upload all of them on my gallery site for everyone to download in high res

Nice pics man. I didn't go hang out with the 4 corners group this last weekend either. Ended up going out to Little Sahara and doing my own thing with some local friends. Anyway your jeep is growing so fast, every time I see your jeep its grown another couple of inches. What are you feeding that thing man? Not sure if Im ever going to want to wheel with you again, I'll be to afraid that your jeep will eat mine. haha, j/k Anyway, your jeep is badass and those are some cool pics.

Very nice!

I'd have done Holy Cross City when we did Mosquito and Wheeler last month, but we had to come home early due to a friend's death. We're in Moab next month and we'll be back to do Holy Cross in the spring.

We have a pal who completed the entire HCC trail on a TJ with 33s. He had to winch in a couple spots, but who the hell cares? That's what the winch is for, to self-recover out of a tight spot or stuck.

I have confidence I'll get to the top with my JK on 33s. I don't believe you intended to imply it, but you don't need a long arm with 42s and a Hemi to best 8 and 9 rated trails.

It's 80% driver.

Agreed. 21 Road is one intimidating sonofabitch.

Never did I say it's impossible or unpassable unless you have 42s or a hemi

all I was saying is that it's not an easy trail if you do the hard lines.. just like any other trail..

yes there was a TJ on 33s on that trail with lockers and armor and he went through just fine.... he didn't go over that first obstacle.. he took a different rout!

the trail is about 3 hours away from me.. so to ME it's not worth going if i'm just taking the bypass!!

I'm sure everybody likes their rigs.. on the title I was just getting everyones attention

If you want to go and bypass some obstacles... go ahead.. but if you do plan on tackling the hard stuff... then sorry but you will get carnage one way or the other!

peace out
