Never have had a lot of wheeling pics-always been busy driving:laugh: .Someone at a local ride took this last week and I thought I'd throw it up here and see what ya'll think.I know it doesn't articulate half as well as some of the really built rigs but I think it's pretty sexy anyway:D .I don't think this trail even had me lifting a tire.Anyway,it's just a 6" Rough Country spring lift with stock shackles,hangers and pretty average shocks.I'm headed towards a set of 2" rear springs,ORD flip,and all greasable everything.Any suggestions would be appreciated.I have been gathering parts for a while now and am just now getting to the suspension.I've been doing it piecemeal so I can continue to drive it.
So,the flop.Actually,I just layed it over nice and easy on it's side.Dented the rear of the quarter by the light and just a touch up by the headlight.Both of wich I am replacing anyway.Still sucked.My spotter and I were wowing the jeepers by getting down one of the tighter spots and he got distracted and stopped guiding me for just a second and I continued creeping forward just a bit and,voila.I definitely suffered from a bad case of injured pride.But,I wasn't the first,and won't be the last!-

Somehow left this pic out.It still stings when I look at it :doah: This little section of washout was pretty nasty.There is about 200 yards of it and two other rigs went over.

All flops coincidentally were to the passenger side....hmmm.

It has been said that 1st Gens flop so much because the owners have such big heads.....it's makes them top heavy and more prone to falling over. :usaflag:

At least Burt's airbag went off to protect the oversized K5 cranium.
