Tahuya wheeling report...(pictures)

[vortex]

Well we had a great time yesterday wheeling, the only other rig we saw was a yeller TJ leaving as we were entering the trail head.

Matt did an extraordinarily great job in hes almost stock cherokee....lots of tire hanging, but for the most part all fours were down.

As for breakage, i toasted a front transfercase output seal.

Picture Time,

It all went pretty well and I was really impressed but matt's new tires and the F-100 coils in my jeep...

well enjoy,

Yes a great time was had by all. To add to the damage report, I did bend my drag link trying to get over a tree root in about two feet of water. I am suprised that th solid steel drag link got bent and not the flimsy, hollow tie rod. I am really impressed with how my nearly stock Jeep handled all of the obstacles.

Now I need to ditch the rear sway bar, install disconnects on the front, and swap the 35 for an 8.25 with an Aussie. Also get a belly skid and a ZJ gas tank skid.

In the second post, pic # 2, my pass rear tire is about 2-3 feet above the ground. If not for the excellent spotting by PJ, there would have been no way I would have made it down that hill without damage. Thanks PJ.
