Re: NWFest UPDATE!!

Over there? Hah! You're not getting off that easy... You are going to help us do a run in your neck of the woods (figure of speech), right?

???????????? Woods??? What "Woods"????? We dont have that over here.....just sand, sagebrush, and rattlesnakes!

Re: NWFest UPDATE!!

We can always do a sand dune run out at vantage, or haul em up here to Bickleton when I'm back for good We have some decent stuff up here....most of it is pretty easy tho, makes for a lot more fun in the snow

Yeah, I am considering that, concerned about paved road handling.

There were some that actually came without rear swaybars originally. I know I couldn't tell a difference in handling (even on the emergency vehicle course) when I removed mine.

So, will removing it improve rear axle articulation?

VASTLY



Was the second mod I did to my XJ after I got it (within a week of purchase). First was that damned annoying buzzer for the door.

Yes! My 99 came stock without a rear sway bar. Freeway driving is a little different (not much) but all-in-all, it's a decent drive.

Re: NWFest UPDATE!!

Mine came with one on the rear I didn`t notice much difference in normal driving,doing curved roads fast is when I noticed a difference. With the front disconnected you will really notice a diff.
WHEN and WHERE is the NEXT NW FEST going to be and Is it going to be OREGON or IDAHO ? :wave:

My 87 had the up-country package, never had a rear sway bar(from the factory)

Tillamook sounds fun. But the drive would suck. Speed limit too slow if I remember correctly.

Re: NWFest UPDATE!!

Then you know what I mean. The only route I have taken to Tillamook is through Cannon Beach.

Re: NWFest UPDATE!!

Here are a few of my pictures. I have dial-up so I am only going to post a few.

Matt, do they sell tires narrow then yours?? Your tires make me hungry for pizza.

Mark take the FAR right line again, RISKY.

John is lov'in the rocks. Valant effort John.

Wheeling in Washington is SO boring. Talk about scenery.

Walter does Moonrocks:

Must have over inflated that right rear tire. Seems to be floating away.

Great pictures, Hans!

If Yakima is the "Palm Springs of Washington", does that make the Tri-Cities it's "Death Valley"?

Re: NWFest UPDATE!!

Cool pics, Hans. I actually use those tires to open envelopes as well as slice up pizzas. The only criticism with your pics is the lighting.... It's too bad you couldn't have illuminated the scene with some really bright driving lights

Re: NWFest UPDATE!!

I'd be down for TSF, I could be there in an hour and a half or so. I've never been there but have been wanting to. Just waiting to get a few things done on the XJ first (front tow points, spare tire, etc.) and then gonna see if I can get someone to go show me around a bit. I haven't wheeled much and purposly overbuilt for the skill I'm at so I just want to start out playing on the easier stuff.

Re: NWFest UPDATE!!

For the record on the pre run this old dude that ran his motorcycle into my XJ almost died right about here:
