    I used to wave.....30 years ago..... When you were lucky to see one other Jeep a day...Now it's one a minute.



    Back then it was more of a salute to the other person for actually having a running Jeep. :mrgreen: [size=78%] [/size]

    I guess I have a old fashion view when it comes to Jeeps... Two doors, three pedals and not much else. The salesman at the dealership tried to push more options and couldn't believe I kept saying no to all of them. In the end I did go for the better top and that was it.
    I ended up waiting a couple of months for them to build it. But in the end I'm glad I did it that way.
    It wasn't that I didn't want to pay extra, it was more of a matter of not really needing those extra dohickys.

    Well I gotta say I'm impresses with them! After three days of riding around Harlan this past weekend, I would have to say the new stuts/4-link flat out work.
    I ended up running 90 in the lower and 200 in the uppers. I didn't try changing the pressures.....I saw no need to.
    The biggest change I felt was in the down hills ( I hate going down hill ) way more stable and no unloading at the wrong time like the leaves used to do to me. Still had some bounce issues while trying to climb, but I thing getting rid of the front springs will help that out.
    Wasn't much side hills to try, so not sure on body lean yet.
    I need to get to Rausch and see how they work on some dry rocks. Then I'll start messing around with the pressures.



    Now all I need to do is rob a bank and get two more for the front end.....And Link it.....Remove and tube the front part of the frame....build a new front bumper.....Etc, Etc :mrgreen: [size=78%] [/size]

    With the TH350 you have I don't see the need for one. If you do get popped a DMV, install a line lock as stated above. A whole different story if your running a manual.

    Post up how it works out.



    I can't wait to see how these work out in the rocks, that and the 4-link.....Hopefully the long hours of work and planning will payoff.

    Well I didn't have much time to play with it over the weekend, it was in the shop Sat - Mon getting a exhaust system installed.
    I left the pressures low and late Monday afternoon I took it out on the road and did a couple of hard accelerations and the rear felt kinda neutral, didn't seem to swat or lift much. Then I maxed out the rear suspension while the front tires were on a level surface in a ditch out front of the house. Seem pretty stable with little to no lean. By that time it was pissing with rain so I stopped.
    This weekend I'll try some side hills with the low pressure and see what it does. Then I'll retry everything with 90 in the lower and the upper at ride and see how it acts.

    There's not much weight in the back, both tanks are full but the box is empty.




    I'm going to play around with the pressures this weekend and see what happens......Trust me, when I do stupid things while wheeling there always seems to be a full film crew in action...Now if I pull off something great, there's not a sole around.

    When I first set the pressures, I put 300 psi in the uppers and the struts were almost fully extended.....I'll switch the guage and see what happens.

    I blame Aaron too :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I talked to once last year and I was hooked on the benefits of them. I quess I'll try and see what their like with the lower pressure low, then pump them up to 90 psi and see........Sure beats ordering new springs everytime with coilovers.

    It didn't move at all. I'm about 200lbs....Now granted I didn't jump up and down on the thing, but I did hop. When I run it up on the lift, they do fully extend and when lowered back down they do go back to ride height...So they are moving.

    No sway bar. I just figurd since the upper was lower than I see most running, the lower should be lower too. I'm going to run it around some this weekend and see what they do ( Besides pissing off the neighbors ) It just seems kinda on the stiff side now when I jump on the back of it.
