Ocotillo Wells, CA New Years 2009 Compilation Video

[crazyjim]

Not really a picture persay, but it's a showcase

proves you CAN do go fast stuff with a Jeep. In before "you're gonna bend your D30"

Just put the footage of this weekend together. Overall I'm happy with the way the Jeep performed, still a few things I need to do. Enjoy

That looks fun. We really don't have any places we can go 70mph offroad here in TN. I thought for sure he would have some type of elaborate suspension in place of the leaf springs, but it looked like regular leafs in there. Nice vid!

Yea we're lucky enough to pretty much have every single different kind of offroading available to us out here.

As for the rear suspension, leaf springs can go a long way if build correctly. These are Alcan's that were rebuilt and stretched by deaver for go fast stuff. Also shocks make a HUGE difference.

awsome! that's a good quality video too!

Thanks!

Looks like your suspension works well. Now you just need some Jounce Shocks to get a little more control.

My wife and I were on a back side sun set run to the Iron Door when we passed you going the other way on Thurs. It looked like it was working good.

Negative, I took the Baja out. Alot cheaper to fix the bug after a week of beating on it in Ocotillo.
I was in my brother's red XJ near County Line when you went by, but I'm guessing you were paying more attention to the bumps than other XJ's.

Made it right up to the last day before she gave up the gost 100 yards from camp.
This'll cost me $50...LOL

Where this cost me thousands...

Ahhhhh what a bummer haha. There were some CLEAN bugs out there that weekend, I was scopin' a bunch of them out.

Not sure where County Line rd. is though?


On a side note, did you find the drivers side fender?
