    Default Jeep doing what its made for.

    Went on a 4 hour tour threw some trails. Ran into one hell of a rain storm on the first trail at the top of the mountain. I have got to get my sun roof leak fixed. Water just pours in if you not sitting on a flat surface.
    Tray mountain pic I got some video but I have to edit it.

    On the sec. trail I almost laid it on its side. Got it laid over farther than I've ever done before. Got a bit scary for a few min.
    The camera angle doesn't do the lean any justice.



    A few feet down the trail.

    3.5" of lift, no bump stops, and no sway bars. I've got to roll and pull my fenders wells then trim the rear bumper and some of the inner fenders to get it to really flex.

    I'm also about to start building a winch bumper and roof rack for it soon.

    that would be nice but completely crazy. If I had my way I would install the 7" long arm kit on my jeep.

    It sees mud to, In fact this is the cleanest its ever left the trails. I'm going to make a snorkel for it soon due to the last mud hole I hit caked the inside of my air box with mud.
    Pic from a 7hour trail ride. We only made it 4miles in 7 hours..... Still had a blast

    First pic is the chimney side of Tray Mt the second trail was a little back woods trail called calaim(sp) valley. Chimney is a pretty nice rocky road with a lot of water breaks a few really good mud holes. calaim valley is a great trail. Big wash outs and some good off camber areas.

    Tray is right above Helen and Calem valley is north of Cleveland. I can't tell you how to get there. I know the way but don't know the road names.

    I love offroading. Its so much more fun than driving fast. I traded a 99 GSX-R750 for this Jeep and I'm really happy I did. Well worth the money it cost to make it work right and theirs tons of upgrades coming down the road.

    Got it a bit muddy.

    ended up on my last pass getting stuck. Kind of bend the bumper support. I cut my bumper off last week to start building my new winch bumper.
