Here are a few nightshots: This one was taken the last night Ray's indoor Mountain Bike Park was open in 2006/2007 season: 
This was in my driveway one evening: 
This was at the stables where we used to keep our horses: 
This is with about 3,500 lbs of hay and trailer in tow: 
What would help even out my suspension? Air Bags or a lift with heavier duty springs? -Mark BTW: all my photos can be seen at www.flickr.com/photos/mtbtrials |

how do you get your night shots to look like that, when i take night shots all I get is well the night. I haven't really done my HW on Cameras just looking for a quick how to. 
Nice rides. |

The trick to getting night shots to turn out decent is a good tripod.... or some flat surface. Also, don't use a flash, just try and get the shutter to stay open as long as possible. What kind of camera do you have? I have a Canon Digital Rebel which is the SLR type. I am able to (within the basic settings) keep the shutter open for up to 30 seconds, and infinitley longer if I have something else (I don't even know what I need, usually if it's too dark even 30 seconds won't help unless you are trying to get star shots. I hope that this helps! -Mark |

That pic with the bike on top is a very nice shot. It's actually brochure quality. |

Nice looking KJ...you are very good at photography!! I would add some OME HD springs, maybe all around...and another rear spring isolator for each side of the rear. I did this to mine when I frankenlifted mine and it pulls my 10X6 cargo trailer (not much bigger than your stock trailer) fully loaded w/ a quad and gear to the track...and it doesn't flex much at all. It rides very nice w/ the OME when pulling a trailer...not to mention just daily driving to school and back. I know the OME components are pricy...but the ride is worth the money. Have fun! |

OME pricey ? You get what you pay for and OME is the best. Plus at 100/120 for a set of coils is not that bad. My whole system 4 OME Heavy Duty coils/ Ranchos all around only came to 460 dont think thats a bad deal. And BETTER than Rustys!! So with the trailer depends on how much you pull it if a lot like I do then go for the heavy dutys if not the mediums are way better than stock and will do great! Tom |

Jeepjeepster, that is the cleanest, nicest Jeep undercarriage I have ever seen, and I'm pretty old. 
Seriously, you have elevated it to an art form. Excellent! |

Oh wow! I can't believe how clean the underside of your jeep is! How long was it like that after you drove it off the showroom floor?
