Not a jeep but I'll throw my Nissan Frontier in the mix. It has a Jeep axle shaft if that counts. ;-)

Holy articulation batman. I really don't care what you drive if you like to wheel. [thumbs]

Following 10mm-man up a rocky section

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been up that run with my STOCK Nissan Titan. We didn't go to the very top, but that rock section was fun. Sam with a little higher up the hill - needed a spotter with the non-lifted trucks.

I would be down for a run Saturday but I also work. I am doing some wrenching today with an oil change and removing that rear sway bar to try it out. I wish someone had caught my first wheelie on camera!

Me too man, I was nervous when that happened.

FLy - A rear locker and set of 35s or better makes all the difference.

That pic of me going up that rocky section shows the crazy limited articulation with the sway bar connected! My front driver wheel is off the ground and barely any articulation. My Rock Krawler lift is so great but not when it's connected.

I bet they came out sweet! I, on the other hand, just went through the worst car experience of my entire life. Went to pull the rear sway bar today and change the oil. Sway bar came out in about 10 minutes while the oil drained, no big deal. Put the drain cap back on and went to pull the oil filter and it didn't even budge. So, gave it a wrench with a filter wrench and nada. Tried the drastic screw driver through the filter and the filter tore in half. I have never in all of my life seen a filter that tight. The one time I don't change the oil myself because we were in the process of moving and look what I get. I swear they must have used some form of locking solvent on it! It took me SIX HOURS to get it off. I shit you negative on the six hours. I had to use every tool in my arsenal. Believe it or not the Reciprocating Saw ended up pushing me through to the end. By the time I got it off the entire filter had been removed and all that was left was the threaded on portion. I am aching all over and my fingers are black and blue. I am beyond pissed and exhausted. [Mad]

Pics to come tomorrow of the oil filter that I will never be getting rid of. I also drove the rig to Chick Fil A after to calm my nerves with a Sweet Tea and I noticed no difference in handling without the rear on, even on the highway. Go figure. Goodnight fellow Jeepers. Additionally for those who care, Alamo made it through his ball chopping and he is on the road to recovery. He is somewhat fussy and whimpers a lot but he should make a full recovery.
