All stock on the drive line (3.73 I think). I usually run in 4-Lo to keep that annoying ESP (or whatever it is that sucks the power when you spin tires) off.

3 of the guys don't have quick discos, they just unbolt when they get there. Adds a few more minutes to the prep process.

Any of you guys planning on being out there on May 16th and 17th? I've never been out there before, but planning on making my first trip that weekend. Also, for those of you who have wheeled there before, assuming I stick to the easier trails, will I have a hard time avoiding trail pinstripping? Thanks for the help guys. Hope to wheel with some of you in the East Texas area soon, as I will be living in Carthage/Longview area beginning in June.

Nice TJ

I'll be packing to move about that time. A few of us may be out there for the Bayou Jeepers Spring Fling in April 25. (bayoujeepersoffroad.com)

Trail stripes shouldn't be a problem, especially with the white paint. You'll have a couple of light sticks rubbing, but nothing heavy.

When are you moving up here? If you're looking for a house in Shreveport, send me a PM. I'll be moving in June.

Yes I am running stock Sahara gears. the only mod I have is a 2" bb on stock 18" duelers. Like yellow toy said I went everywhere he did. Stock is perfectly fine for MOST of Barnwell.

Oh and dont worry about the high-jack, I know most of those guys that started this thread.
Yeah, he just like checking out college chicks... He keeps getting older but they stay the same age.


I noticed your Signature shows your little jeep has grown up a bit like your brother-in-law's. You need to head back up here & have some fun. Maybe have a good 'ol "rear-to-rear" pull like they used to do in Erath!

One thing your sig shows a 2.5" BB Coil lift I thought it was either a BB or a coil.
