First time wheeling **Pics**

[xjrrrdx]

Well 8 rigs showed up and we gained one more on the trail. I was a little nervous to go with so many people but as soon as we first started it was all good. All the hills were pretty icey, but with some great help from all the guys spotting and helping. My XJ with a 3" held up really well. The only problems we had was a winched up TJ and a popped bead but we fixed that in about 5 mins. Here are the pics.

Nice pics! Looked like fun. BTW pic #15, what lift does that black XJ have? 4.5''? Thanks

 

[scottsxj]

man i want snow soo bad, which jeep is yours. Oh yeah and by the way nice pics

 

[xjrrrdx]

mine is the one that looks black but it is actually Dark Blue. I have the rustys 3" the funny thing the front sits lowe than the back. It did really well and my OME shocks did AWESOME, however they did bottom out.

 

[cassio]

so is yours the one in pic #15??

what are some stats

 

[xjrrrdx]

Yep #15 is mine. Lets see, I havent done much but I still would like to. I have Rusty's 3" Full leaf packs, OME long travel, BFG A/T 31", Black steelies, K&N intake with rustys mount.

I want to get a front bumper from AJs Armor, and then a powertrax locker.

All i know is i am so glad i took my fender flares off the day before or i would have torn them clean off, even with them off since the front sits a little low they rubbed like mad when i would flex.

gonna have to get a used bumper if it is one of aj's. check out non tech forum for details

looks fun btw, gonna have to try out that snow stuff one day

Hey xjrrrdx... How do you like the rusty's suspension. Cause I was thinkin of their kit with the full leaf packs also. Plus it seems that the rusty's kit doesn't come with the shocks, is that correct? Thanks again.
BTW I thought your jeep looked black but anyways it looks real nice!

 

[xjrrrdx]

I love the rustys, it flexes with the best of them, IMO. Oh by the way, they do come with shocks, its just my dad got me some OME for christmas so of course I had to take advantage of that . The only complaint is the front rides a little lower than the rear, by 1.25" if I can remember right. I bent my flares a little good thing I took them off or I would have torn them off.

From what I have heard on here. Your rears will settle over time. Then match the fronts. Looks good by the way.

 

[YETI]

Where in colorado where you?

 

[xjrrrdx]

Well I am going to get some spacers for the front and then shackles for the back to give me 4" so I dont rub as bad.

I live in Lakewood Colorado, but we were in Conifer at Slaughterhouse Gulch

 

[YETI]

Thoght that looked like Slaughteerhouse.

 

[Kittrell]

You didn't tell me you had a Blue Classic. Don't drive it over here tomorrow, or you'll be walking home................ :laugh3:

 

[mudhound32]

Hey xjrrrdx how did the BFG ATs handle in the snow? I just got a full set and was curious. No snow to test em out as of yet. BTW your ride looks good

 

[xjrrrdx]

They handle great in the snow, I was surprised. I got them from discount.

I was also there, we had a great time and got some cool pics. Slaughterhouse is a very fun trail in the snow and ice and made for some difficult hill climbs. Here are some of the pics i got:
