Anyone in the Midwest chapter going to Winterfest ?
I posted in you thread in the WF section. Briefly: you can ride with me Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but I suggest trying some of the easier stuff at least one day.
Awesome I replied in the other thread but figured I’d say more here . I just got done lifting my XJ and it is mechanically sound but it has no skid plates not even a gas tank skid , open diffs , no recovery gear yet or anything and I don’t want to tear it up if possible so I’d like to wait to do much wheeling until I have some protective gear before I go playing in the rocks etc
Take it as long as met the minimal requirements, play with it in the creek or on the easy trails then ride with someone who does more. I took a sagging rear suspension xj many years and the worse thing I did was dent the rockers. I didn’t have skid plates even after lifting.
The worse I ever did wheeling stock was dent my rockers, but it was slowly turning into a toy so didn’t care. If you are lifted already, you can do quite a bit without worrying about body damage. As I said, being lifted you should be able to do easiest trails, creek and quarry without worrying about damage.
Wait, the dates show March 8 & 9, 2018?
