China Wall, Chinaman Gulch, Carnage Canyon

[mattzj98]

Ran a few trails recently, breaking in the new coilovers...

is it just me, or has Carnage and Chinaman Gulch changed tremendously over the past 2 years? seems like the Gate Keeper is a whole lot easier having a rock in the V but the good stuff leading up to the V-Notch and Waterfall seem a hell of a lot more washed out with fallen rocks..

China Wall seems to always be the same..

I've learned a few things about my jeep now.

1) need to redo rear upper arms in the 4 link. they need to not have bushings but johny joints or heims instead.
2) coilovers are flexible as hell, need limiting straps
3) time to undo those double bead locks, and swap tires to new!

anyway, I took a few pics, but nothing special at all

Looks great!


Did it perform to your expectations (or are there more plans for change on the ToDo list)?

[mattzj98]

the coilovers are great, but I am going to redo my rear 4 link. The way it is set up now splits my bushings in half and makes the rear steer just slightly. I am going to build a crossmember and some new custom control arms with heims or johny joints and make better angles
