Nothing like a good day of Wheeling!

I gave my suspension quite a workout on Friday:



Here's another angle.

The best part is, I'm still on the ground on all corners (barely). The specs:
  • OME coils/shocks front and rear.
  • 1" CB spacers up front (to level).
  • Disconnected front swaybar (Nuke Discos).
  • ATS upper A-arms
On another note, the rear locker + front truetrac is AWESOME. In 2WD on-road, it is invisible. Put it in 4WD and turning gets more difficult, just enough to let you know it's working. Off-road, if you want more traction, just apply the brakes while applying throttle.
That was a great day of wheeling. Damage was limited to my exhaust pipe and rear bumper. The sliders are scratched up, of course. Mike busted up his front passenger fender on the hardcore loop. I opted not to go on that loop and I'm glad I didn't, because they were winching at every other obstacle.

Next up: HS9500 winch... but that $1700 supercharger deal is damn tempting :satan: .

Lookin' good there Phong.
To be honest with ya, the super charger is a great deal.
Will it be around for awhile at that price?

The winch you'd get a lot of use out of, especaily during some winter wheeling.
It will make your bumper look 100% complete up front.
I'd have to go with the winch first, but that is just MO.
