if you have steering wheel shake at a specific speed and can always make it happen at that speed, i'd have to say you have a tire balancing problem. if you have a shaking of your entire jeep after hitting a bump in the road at a low speed, it is possible that it could be a DW related issue but again, i might check your toe again and if it really is 1/4", i might set it to 1/8". i would try and start there especially if you can get this shaking to happen all the time.

Thumbs up Here you go Jen!

After the Meet and Greet the plan was to run Bronco Peak so Rick lead the group through Bronco Peak and Sidewinder.

Here's a pic of Bonda as we make our way up Bronco Peak.


Mituk and his bad ass super charger making his way through Sidewinder.


LennyKimes making his way up Bronco Peak with the beautiful Lake Morena as his backdrop!


The notch on Bronco Peak gave Vaughtra a chance to show what his rig is capable of.


Our trail leader Rick (morconc1) really showed up a great time...who would have thought we could get Espinoza trail, Bronco Peak and Sidewinder all done and get off the trail before sun down...thanks again Rick!


Shelby showing us what the 2 doors can do!


*seth* was looking for the hard lines and for the most part found them!


Blonda gettin' twisted!


More LennyKimes


more pics

Well I have to admit I'm not much of a photographer but since it was Blonda's turn at Bronco Peak I tried my best ...sorry not too many of Sidewinder as we tried to get through it before dark.

Great pics! Thanks for taking the time to share...being that we had such a large group it's great to get the different perspectives.
