Well, kinda dissapointing turnout on this run :( . We ended up only having 3 rigs so we decided to kick up the level from our "easy" run to moderate/difficult and go play on Bull Frog trail and then headed over to the Cougar Buttes area where they hold the rock crawling competitions. :D I can best sum up the area we were in as AWESOME! Think Mini-Moab and that is pretty much what we found. Lots of granite slabs and boulders w/ some fast dirt track running thrown in between locations. It was a beautiful day and other than a few sand buggies and couple motorcycles, we only saw signs of people at a few group camps. We pretty much had the place to ourself until the last hour of the day when a group of atv's, a rock buggy and full size truck showed up to the Cougar Buttes area as we were finishing up.
IT was a great area to explore and we definately gotta get back out there again. Since it is a BLM area you can pretty much go anywhere you want and our leader Mike has gotten permisison to mark new trails so that makes it even better. Ok, enough babble, heres some pics!

It has felt very stable on everything I have been on so far. No worse than my 5.5" lifted XJ on 33's.

Does your front end sit up quite a bit higher than the rear? Where is the link to your SFA build? I'd like to see what you got going on under there. :D

No, not at all. I just changed to a softer spring this past Friday so this was the first trip w/ the new springs. I know they sit a little lower but need to take measurements today on that.
Heres the build up. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... hp?t=23008
