While I agree that it's not necessary, having a long arm is a HUGE advantage for rock crawling. Keeping all 4 tires on the ground is incredibly helpful, and you can't do that with alligator arms.
Almost all the clanking I had before my long arm was installed was from the stock short arm...
Picked up the Jeep from Exodus today - I have a very short window to get the 500 mile break-in on the new gears before taking it on our next trip.
Initial thoughts:
WOW - is this thing a beast! Probably 5 1/2" of new height at the driver's seat. I knew it was going to be bigger, but HFS...
Yes, I put 35ās on in the 1st 150 miles. I donāt think youād have a problem with 33s on either of those trails. But Iāll save you some dough - go ahead and upgrade to 37s or 38s as soon as you can - 37s can be done without a lift, I think.
4-Low, sway bar disconnected, and we were told to lock front & back just in case, but we didn't need them at all on this obstacle... it doesnāt hurt to be safe.
As you might have heard my wife say in the video, this was only our 2nd trail - I'd recommend going up and down the steepest obstacles...
4) all of the above
And I still want one. I have been up many steep inclines where I can't tell if the trail turns, or if going straight would send me off a cliff. I'm not going to stop on an incline & get out, etc. if I have a button that shows me...
Iād like to hear from someone who added it.
No they said I was too late š¤Ø. But, glad I got a discount anyway.
No biggie - technically I was a day late, and I had planned to buy one at full pop - still a win!
Well I hope the AZ market heats up again soonā¦
We are heading out your way this Christmas, visiting my daughter - actually staying in usery mountain regional park campground. Bringing the jeep of course! Looking forward to seeing the old āhood and all the new growth.
Any good trails you...
Thatās an awesome rig - and service pit! What part of Mesa are you in? We built a house just north of Ellsworth & McDowell on county island back in 03 (usery pass road). We moved away in 2012
That's a fact! We met those guys at the top of Hell's Gate - they are the reason we tried it in the 1st place... They told us it was no big deal, and that we HAD to go up it.
I think we could have gone up blindfolded and just followed Dave's spotting (the spotter giving us radio instruction)...
Welcome to the neighborhood! We are a few miles East of Boerne. I've seen quite a few MAJOR hailstorms in the SA area, but never been in one. I'd just get a low deductible on your comprehensive insurance, and don't worry about it - big one's are more rare than think.
The PDR process is...
