The Hammers are fun trails! Used to run them cali trails all the time!!

[My Green Jeep]

Nice pictures Lisa, thanks for posting them!!!

[YGOHOME]

awesome. Cool to see that you wheel with the genright guy too rather than just doing business with them

[ROKBITR]

Looks like a good time! I really wanna make it out there.

[Wayco]

[fatbob309]

Great pics! One of these days my jeep may be ready for a trail like that...
That genright guy looks like he has a sweet rig its cool that he is not just in it for the sales but wheels too.

[Hackle]

Well I got the video completed and up on my web site. Remember as per usual it is a large file.
Enjoy

Awesome pics... Very jealous!
Hackle, I like your set up. How much was it to link/coil-over it?(Not including cost for axles) What size tire is that?
Joe/Lisa, how is the Genright guy set up, linked or SOA?

OK I stopped keeping track of costs a long time ago. This is one of things that if you have to ask the price don't ask:)
If you can do most of the fab work yourself it is managable. The coil overs including coils are over $700 each to start.
The tires I run right now are 39.5" IROC's
Tony has a nice rig and it is linked
HTH Jim
BTW thanks for the comments it was a fun trip.

[FlexyXJ]

Allen, Thanks!! we had a great time in JV, the weather was great, and the wheelin was even better. Tony's YJ is Linked with Fox 2.5 airshocks. It uses Gen-right's link/mount kit, which is a very good design for the fabricator. One of the main things we teased him about all week was the fact he still uses the STOCK PEOGEOT trans!!!! Atlas case, pro-rock 60's, linked and airshocked with a BA15 trans!!!!:001_9898: we had some good laughs last week!!! As for hackles build, just remember the JEEP theme.....Just Empty Every Pocket!!

Great pic's and the video was even better !!!!

Thanks for sharing, I'd really like to get out there and do some of them trails one day................

[AbsoluteOffroad]

Nice pictures Lisa, thanks for posting them!!!


Thanks!! :)

[terron gregg]

hey joe i would of paid good money to watch that video

[AbsoluteOffroad]

Killer Wheeling.:pimp:
Wish that I could gone on that trip.

That pretty jeep of yours would not be SEMA worthy after JV. We could only tell Joe's new damage because it was shinny.:D

Lisa

[Pac8541]

Great photos and your video is fantastic! Hackle, you and Joe absolutely walked everything you drove up to!! Those rigs are built perfectly (obviously) and there is no better testament to Absolute Offroad's skill than a video like that. Lisa oughta link that on the AO website. Can't wait to get my heep started to build like that:drool5:

And I totally dig that creaky, squeaky CJ!!!

[thedon]

Lisa

YA there would be some damage on my jeep and looks like the YJ got a work out and so did you run up and down the trail taking the killer photo's, Great work there. Slap Joe for me up side the head.:stuart::joker:

[Mike H.]

Awesome video.
Thanks for sharing.
That is a crazy trail... nice driving.

[FlexyXJ]

Yeah, we missed ya Don.... Shouldda been there...:) FYI, Lisa does ALL the video and pics of most of the runs, thats why you will usually see either pics OR Video of the run. JV is not for the faint of heart, and If you have something thats gonna break, JV will do it. Maybe we (Absolute Offroad) Should plan a spring time trip to JV???Would there be any interest??? Its about 350 miles from here and pretty remote. Camping would all be "dry" camping. Plenty of room for Motorhomes/ campers/ toyhaulers and pleanty of room for tent camping too. So any interest from the VJC?????

Joe

[DesertX04]

What kind of requirements would there be? Would it be after April 15th?:confused:

[FlexyXJ]

You know whats REALLY funny??? That CJ squeaked and creaked like that BEFORE we did the Coilover/3-Link on it!!! We always gave Andy a hard time and teased him about the "sheet" springs up front.....:punk:

[FlexyXJ]

Allen, Your Jeep would have no problems, but we would have to over fill your tranny pan a little....:) Yes, Most likely it would be AFTER the 15th..... Oh yeah, I forgot you were a TAX AUDITOR for the IRS.....:whistling:

I think this is a great idea but I would suggest planning for more then just a weekend trip as it is a good 6 hour drive. That makes Sunday a non wheeling day. Most people would want to be in camp by Thursday night to wheel Friday and Sat. I would be willing to go and lead a couple trips.

Nice video!!!... so far on the opposite end of the spectrum from the type of off-roading I have done.

That is kind of the point to show people what is possible. I am glad you enjoyed the video there are many more on my web page if you are interested.
They are all large files as once people got used to the file size they seemed to enjoy getting a real feel of what the trail requires. Plus I hate to leave anyone out of the videos. :smart:

[lancetkenyon]

Joe and Jim....I might be down to run JV in the spring.

The camping sounds good. We could probably make it TO the trailhead. Any 3.0 to 3.5 trails for the not so built Jeeps?

Yes.

Timing might be tight, between TDS and EJS and my pregnant wife, but have been wanting to get out there.........

One day, when I win the Powerball, maybe I will build something that is capable of crawling over obstacles like that. Until then I will stick with things that are a bit easier and bow down in awe of the vehicles / skills involved in your videos.

[Hackle]

I did not build my YJ in a day as I have owned it for going on 15 years and have built it one step at a time. Trust me I save my money for mods also. The plus is that when you take your time your skills as a driver grow along with your rig.
Thanks for the comments on the videos and my YJ.
