@Dublin711 actually, the front axle is a dana 30 and sure, lots of people are :) if you can afford it, a dynatrac pro rock 44 is definitely a nice upgrade.
We just got home tonight from Calico - did that same trail today- in a '68 Bronco. 1 other Bronco with us and 4 Jeeps also. It was a BLAST!!! The curve with the drop off, yeah- that's a pucker there! So much fun we can't wait to get out there again. Thanks for your video- it's the best one out there that we've found!!
This was the very first 4x4 run I ever did, but we went the opposite way! Ended up making a turn without knowing anything about the trails at Calico. Almost fell backwards off the cliff at the top where the path is eroded and then down after the bend I was on just my front tires... scary stuff :) Only damage, sidestep has a nice ding and the front plastic bumper is pushed in on the driver's side.
Nice rigs, great trail footage, VERY funny interviews, but the music is just not trail riding music...
I don't have a JK, but I do have an '87 MJ [Comanche]. I have a vid on here if anyone wants to check it out. It's mainly stock at this point. 30" Tubeless Radials, 2.5L 4-cylinder, 4-Speed Standard shift, 2WD, and a hell of a lot of fun.
Sume people need lockers. Too bad u werent there wen we went with out 1988 samurai with lokers front and rear with 5 inches of lift and 33 inch goodyears. We needed some pple to crawl with....nice 4door jeep btw, looks badass
lol!! believe me, that's what they thought too. the red 4-door has arb's front and rear now and the green 2-door will be getting a set soon as well :)
I realy liked this video. It was very well done. But I have to say for all the new rigs you guys had a lot of trouble. I have an 82 CJ7 with a 4" lift 33X12.5 lockers front and rear stock 6 cyl with 3.54:1 gears. I never stopped. Altough I did test my pucker factor on the narrow spot near the top!!!
id love to join you guys sometime. is this what you do for a living and you get paid by all your sponsors? also i have some gas shocks on my wrangler x already factory installed they work nicely in mud do you think i should keep em or get new ones if i were to get the 3" budget boots?
Whats up can anyone answer me whats a budget lit and what about rancho or pro comp. What is the sturdiest or takes a great beating, why not 35's and why not a 4 in lift?
a budget boost is an affordable lift (about $250) that will give you 2"-2.5" lift using coil spacers as opposed to using taller springs. i currently run a full traction lift and from experience can tell you that it can take the most beating. i run 35's and a 3" lift - 4" might be a bit tall for 35's though. lower center of gravity is better on the trail.
I'm following the crowd thanks man. In this vid is the white X ultimate a 35 3"? Thats nice however I I had an 89 wrangler with 31;s no lift dangerous.. What do you recommend for lift kits. realiability? Pro comp rancho? I just remembr 4whlautoprts recomending rancho..tires mthompson MTZ or ATZ?
actually, both white jeeps are rubicon models and both have full traction 3" ultimate lift kits on. however, the jeep with the black wheels (mine) is on 35" pro comp xtreme m/t's tires and the silver wheels has 33" bfg m/t's. i highly recommend this lift based on experience and would recommend toyo m/t's or the pro comp xtreme m/t's for tires.
im planning on getting a 2" full traction lift and 33's. i notice that most of the jk's in the vid have 3" and 35's would you say not to get 33's? im new to the whole jeep thing and want to do it right
oye now thats what i call having a good time am moving to north california if u guys dont mine let me know when is the next time u guys are goin on the trail thanx
you can do the trail with no lockers. my buddy followed me and he had open diffs. is the driver that makes that trail tough. I have a rubi. rarely use them only when i choose the big rocks.
Awesome video. I agree, You guys look a like a great group to wheel with. I am hoping to find a group to tag a long with some time this year. I see there are a lot of cool places to wheel with down there. I wheel a lot but not much in the rocks. Yet lol
Another great video and another great trip! I especially like how JeepCacher tried to make it look more difficult than it really was by falling in the end!LOL
Another outrageous video - they just keep getting better every time! Hehe, wonder how many people are going to catch the blooper at the end - that was too funny. C'mon Toad, I missed this one and you need to run it again with those new 35's.
Awesome video once again! Definately a 5 scream run ;) I'm glad I could be apart of it. It truely was the hardest thing I have done to date. I look forward to going on this one again.
I like the videos you make, but the music is intolerable.

Is anyone in a non-Rubicon still running a dana 35 in the front? I only ask because I was thinking about upgrading to a 44 in my JK Sahara.

It's great to see JKs on the trail instead of being driven to the mall on 24" wheels all the time like I see here in my city.
