I finally found a place around me to go wheelin, We went to two different places, one was all clay and one was kinda sandy. My brother, GF and my cousins BF all went. My cousins BF has a Yukon, kind of a road truck with loud pipes and balled tires... It put my jeep to the test cause I was pulling it out all day long. Anyway here are some pics... Cant wait to go again!
The equipment...

Tell me, why is it that everytime we go out wheeling we forget the darn camera? We also went riding today and had a hell of a time. The fun part was getting it stuck.
I need to learn how to take video with my friends Sony camera and host it for you to watch. I'd like to show you all what I have to offer....not that it is much. :wink:

Well I did the SOA in december with an AAL, it ran stiffer than stock to start with (probably because of the AAL) but I have been noticing a big difference in the past week, it has finally broken in and is riding "smoother" now. I am soo happy with the results of the soa though. These pictures here don't do my jeep justice at all. Before any of the good stuff happend all the batteries we had went dead in the cameras. I was trailblazing for the Yukon and pulling it around like a toy. I wish I had a picture of my jeep pullin that out of a drainage ditch... it was beautiful. I think the SOA is the best thing you can do to a YJ, not to mention these *****in tires I have! They get through anything you throw at it. I don't see any downsides to the SOA if it is done right with the correct upgrades to go with it.

Re: '05 Grand Cherokee
Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip, hardley anyone knows about them, but ask an offroad tire place that sells them and they will tell you they are one of the best. http://www.dirtgriptires.com/

yeah currupt, I went with the full SYE from Advanced Adaptors, a CVshaft from Tom Woods, had the front shaft lengthened, rebuilt a D44 and swapped it in the rear.
The tire/gear combo I have now basically put me back to stock performance, I was going to get a lower gear but its a daily driver. I figured my jeep did fine stock, it just had some clearance issues... not no more!
