That looks like a good time right there.

It really was. Can confirm the Constrictor anchor is still solid as ever.

It was a great day. Nice to meet everyone. I really enjoyed the day.

We ran into these two Jeeps on our way up Constrictor. We waved and say hi, but the second guy was pretty frazzled as he said "what a day..."

When we pulled into the brewery in Tooele for dinner they were already there. So of course we had to park next to them. 😂

Looks like a good trip! Maybe next time I'll postpone the hours and hours of removing old mounts of a 60 😁

I love this! Looks like a great group of rigs and people and a fun day on the trail. So did you run Sidewinder too?

How are the ORI's working, Jason? Pretty happy with them?

We did run Sidewinder. Apparently we ran it backwards?

@Anchorman should be proud his work has held up after all these years!

I mean, it's faded...

Sidewinder was fun. I was delighted at how good my (small by 2020 standards) TJ was on big stuff.

Dang that looks like a good time. Sorry I missed it.

So far, very happy with the ORIs and linked suspension. Seems to work well. Like you said in your other thread, I built it based off what I had to work with. I had to package it however it would fit. I followed the general rules/math and let the rest fall into place. For, really, a first full front and rear link set up, I'm very happy. It's a great trail Jeep but certainly not a competition buggy. The ORIs seem to have plenty of travel but are very stable in off camber. No sway bars and they don't seem to push off, just like they advertise.

I was very impressed with your Jeep. It makes me want to sell mine and start over. 😂
