More suspension travel in the ass end. Keep the front stable. Then keep the front on the level ground and let the rear roll over whatever. If youve still got the rear sway but want it for highway, pop off one link before the trail. Just remember to bolt it back up when you hit the pavement

Every where they are in this Vid is on the trail... You have to get past this spot to complete the trail, there is NO going around it!

The dude in the red shirt hanging on to the Jeep however is just asking to be hurt in some way...lol.

@jhhwingnut oh yea black bear pass is on my life list, i will check out her channel though thanks!

[jhhwingnut]

@bldeagle10 If you haven't already checked them out, you should check out some really cool videos of 4wheeling over the passes out in Colorado....like "black bear" pass above Teluride, Colo. Some really good ones are made by "Jeepstergal".......good job video editing & some great music to accompany them, right here on YouTube....just type in "Jeepstergal" .....enjoy !!!

@jhhwingnut the winch is more important i agree. and with the new line of warn winches they are affordable. especially for my cherokee. ill end up spending 1000 for the winch/bumper/ and winch plate. alot cheaper than 3k for a set of ARB air lockers! i know there are cheaper ones on the market but those are the only ones i trust to last. might as well do it right and buy the best first... i know i will end up getting a winch and the bumpers i want before i get lockers.

@jhhwingnut Even though I'm usually always prepared for a cold, unscheduled overniter, due to being stuck or equipment failure......the winch can really very often make it very possible to be fixin steaks back at camp, around the warm fire tellin lies of the days run.....lol, instead of half sleeping, dreading the thought of "diggin out in the morning.....no better way to get to that great trout stream, or just enjoy so many beautiful sites you just can't get to in a car or regular truck....!!!

[jhhwingnut]

@bldeagle10 That's true....like I said above....I would get a winch first and then lockers and change gear ratios for the bigger tires to come later, actually the winch, lockers & a lift are really about equally important, but if I couldn't get it all at once and had to save for each, thats the way I might proceed, I truly love the lockers but the winch is truly the "safety net".....my winch made the difference of spending a cold lonely night stuck in a bog in the back country of Colo or not !!

[bldeagle10]

@jhhwingnut true. in my mind lockers can be even more important than a lift kit. ive seen a lifted truck struggle to get through a spot in a trail then a stock height cherokee run through with air lockers without breaking a sweat. deffinetely worth the money. you will get through and it helps reduce impact on the trails

[jhhwingnut]

@jhhwingnut I know someone will prolly correct me so I'll do it b4 they get the chance....it's "immensely" !! lol Ohh those things I mentioned above will be several thousand dollars but they made my TJ a lot more "effective"....a winch can be a real confidence builder.....believe me, mine saved me from a cold nite alone, stranded in a mud bog just below Mesquito Pass Colo. I had just installed it for that trip, I also love Moab, Utah !!!
