2.?

I love that reference dude
 
saw a lot of Cherokees but didn't see you out there bud


the jeep has been sitting, I moved into a house in Rocklin and I'm finally getting around some maintenance. my rebuilt westtexasoffroad YJ box is clapped, it has 1/2" of play in each direction. so I'm swapping back in my stock box. I can't get a reservoir that doesn't leak. I'm going straight to PSC for a full kit when budget allows, probably next season

I'm sick of H2's. sick and tired of vavle stems being exposed. I ordered a set of 5 17x9 4.5" back space soft 8 knock offs

here's the cool part, how I'm doing my valve stems. stay tuned if you never want to knock another valve stem on a rock again!

it's gonna be a good season. I still plan for a big time overhaul next winter.

also stay safe out there guys. I just lost a good buddy who died rolling his buggy. I'll miss you Raz
 
Sorry to hear about your buddy . Thats a good reason to focus on safety these days.

Im glad you found some cool rims- where did you get them - summit?

Yeah go to PSC when you can, its totally worth every penny.
 
it's a sad reminder that it could be any one of us at any time. dude had a lot of living left to do. it also makes me nervous for moonrocks this May, still won't have the cage or harnesses and things get a little out of control out there

yeah I got them from summit. x5 for $450. I'm bummed about the 4.5" BS I really wanted 4.75 but that's splitting hairs. H2's just don't cut it unless you weld on rock rings. I'm over it


set of 5 H2's for sale next weekend, Roseville CA, no shipping, $250 firm
 
Did he roll at moon rocks ?

I don't think I am terribly wide for what I have. 06 SD 60 with 17x9 5" BS wheels on 13.5" wide red labels. You'll be that much more narrow than me.

I'll see how it turns out. I'm gaining over 1" of width on each side. this wouldn't be a problem for 40's but I'm planning to stick with the 37's which are smaller and only 12.5 wide. I'm worried it will look a little goofy, oh well. plus I think my axle is 2" narrowed (last time I measured) so hopefully that factors in

scrub radius bro!!
 
Dang I missed ya man. It was crazy out there this weekend, I was out in my racetruck so I didn't do any crawling this weekend. Just the high speed stuff.
 
Sweet ass vid man. I saw mike post some of his pics on IG looks like you guys did it right. Shitty he lost his girls mini bike. Let me know next time you're out, I'm always down for the dez...
I'm out quite a bit lately it seems as this was my 3rd time to moonrocks this year.
I only got one pic of the race truck, looking hidious as usual. It did however break 100mph out there this weekend so that was fun.
On another note, someone smashed into my buddies camry while parked close to the entry rd into the rocks, did you happen to see and or know who did it?
