the pics we got dont tell the tail but for thee first time in a very very long time I got the "shakes" going down an obsticle
these 2 hills were both very steep as you can see from the one where the bumper is hitting the one with the tree always claims paint if it is wet but today it was dry so we gave it a shot it is one of the spots that the wrong line will cost you some paint maby a mirror and a door handel if you hit it wrong or if you go to fast

me trying to look cool
Image

this is the tree that likes paint that little stump under the passenger wheel is what saved our paint
Image

this hill is a little steep you need to stay out the ruts if you are stock with a lift you will just barely tuch the dirt
Image

me making it up and Travis with the opposite shot

Yes this is a small sample of the ride in a few weeks
Dont worry about the tree when we were out yesterday we found a fix for the tree and that should be done today

Yes it is not lifted and it has very few scratches on it cause I try to avoid that kind of stuff

a diced 1/2 log of bologna and then pour in some jalepeños and cheese of your choice....wrap it in aluminum foil and place in coals of fire for about 8-10 mins and then pull out....pretty good stuff really.....unless you leave it in too long and then it explodes...or atleast one time it did on me...not sure what the deal was, but ever since I call it a bologna bomb

did you get the skids on?
if not I would by pass that one spot with the realy deep ruts because what you dont see is how bad he drug bottom on that hill
Travis do you know what hill I am talking about ,the one that makes the u-turn and back up the deep ruts?

also I was thinking and looking at some of the other pics of that "new north" end with the very very steep drop off if I were going to run that in our KJ I would pull the spare tire off just in case it wants get in to the mud due to the steep drop you should be OK at the bottom but I would go very very slow to avoid bumper damage the mud should be soft and not want to rip it off
It may help to go down and and as soon as you feel the bottom turn hard one way or the other but I can not be sure until I run it :shock: good luck
and

IF I DON'T GET PICS :evil: :evil: ......................

If you look closely at the first pic you can see why I made that hill look easy







The big red LOUISIANA4X4 sticker gives me 20 extra hp and makes up for the lift I dont have :lol:

I haven't gotten any skids yet, but I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to have some steering service done that they say is a "rapid response issue" and their also going to fix the LBJs (even though my top ones are the ones with tears???? :shock: ) I plan on checking to see if they have any skids in stock...namely the transmission and engine skid at least :? ...

Dude!! There is an engine skid for sale cheap here on LOST (at leats there was a day or so ago). Otherwise Jparts.com has em real cheap and shipping is free. You could get them in plenty of time. Just a thought.
