dirt on the tires and dented sheetmetal

**LouisanaJeeper** · 07-25-2005, 10:04 PM

2 back to back weeks of wheelin. finally got the axles setup right. it was nothing too difficult, but navigating trails designed for SWB TJ`s in a suv results in dented sheetmetal. hit the rear quarters and rear doors alot, almost took out the rear glass a few times

I feel yur pain. That`s why we use 4 wheelers instead of jeeps or suv`s.

Out bodys are plastic instead of metal ( and I painted mine with krylon a nice shiny black so I can detail it out) so they dont dent.

If it gets scratched up I just grab the old Krylon and repaint it.

You ought to come over here to LA Lower Allabama. We have this great red clay that gets in everything when your 4 wheeling and its a pain to clean out.

I drive a big rig all over and Ive nevr seen anything like red clay. I was up in Washington state last week and they got nothing but dirt. Poor guys.

Course you got some clay on the east part of I-10 where it runs into mississippi. Lots of armadillos two.

Sweet photos! I really need to break in my 05 TJ.

**LouisanaJeeper** · 08-26-2005, 07:04 PM

been over to alabama wheeling several times, we usually go to millers. I want to go to grey rock next summer

this was from millers last october

Noticing the suspension travel you have in the rear.

We`ve been looking for something like this, but it`s obviously not sold like a typical Disco- at least not for TJ`s. They call `em sway bar disconnect links or something.

Is this what you have? Your thoughts on `em?

**LouisanaJeeper** · 08-29-2005, 11:32 AM

you can throw away the rear swaybar

they sell disconnecs for the front, i have JKS QDII`s

As in just comepletely take it out? How does that affect road driving? I know doing more than 20 MPH with our front discos off on smooth roads in between trails, we felt like we were gonna die.

yes, take the bar and links completely off and deposit in trash

ive driven without front or rear connected for limited times up to like 50 on curvey roads in a top heavy XJ. it felt controllable to me, yeah some body lean but totally controllable. i usually keep the front connected though

i have not had a rear s-bar for 4yrs and i am still alive. running wheels that stick out farther will help
