Wheeling done, review and question

I made it back from out near Gallup NM from our weekend run. 24 Jeeps and 1 Toyota, I was surrounded. *grin*

No complaints with the Toy, went almost everywhere I wanted to go. The Aussie performed like a dream on the trail and the low pro bumpstops added just enough movement that I didn't get into any serious off camber situations.

Tim's monster.


Jim's rig.


Jeeps to the rear.


Jeeps to the front.


Stop out at the goldfish pond.


The one ledge I couldn't get up. I think I could have made it but the spotter didn't want me to line up at an angle to get the front end up. Next year that dang thing is mine though.


What I won at the raffle last night along with a new set of TJ sliders. I gave the sliders back.


Now the problem. My steering wheel isn't centered anymore when I'm driving straight down the road. I can't see anything bent or broken and it tracks straight at 80 with no road wander or pulling. Any ideas?



Sorry I don't have more. I wasn't really interested in snapping photos. I'll get with the clubs and have some pics sent to me so I can share.

Laters.

You should check your alignment...but you may just have to end up straitening the steering wheel out...I've had that happen to me

I'll get it to an alignment shop this week. I just can't understand how the dang thing moved, or when it happened.

*laugh* Yeah I thought about that. Let em talk though since I was in the only rig out there with smaller than 35 inch tires and the only one that wasn't locked front and rear.

It was a very very fun weekend.

Nice man! And actually 31" tires. Pretty darn good if you ask me. So is your truck IFS? SA?
