Thanks, yes it's working well. The front shocks need to be swapped out when I get back, but it's climbing everything I point it at.

Too heavy? Too soft? Love the pictures! Some of the obstacles are tough enough in the summer, I cant imagine what snow and ice add to the mix.

I appreciate the offer and should be out that way in Q1. I'll hit you up for a drink.
The snow and ice definitely adds a layer of uncertainty, but it's still really fun. We like the off season. On the suspension, I definitely need air bumps, but the front coilover's King sent out still are not right. The compressed length is not correct, so the front end is sitting too high.

Hey Anvil, good to hear from you. What's going on with your transfer case? All resolved?

Thank you. It was a lot of time away from my family working long nights in the garage. My goal was a trail Jeep that can safely walk all but the most difficult trails. So far it seems like the combination of parts really worked well together.

Yeah, snow really changes the dynamics of this place. Moderate trails can become treacherous. I was literally pushing the rear end of Matt's Jeep on ice to get him stabilized on PSM. I enjoy it though. It's exciting not knowing what to expect around every curve.
That was the first time I ever did FIM. It was definitely one of my favorites. I think you are describing the obstacle called "the Intimidator". It was covered in snow and slightly off camber, which was really interesting with full width axles. I was leading, so I just drive it without stopping then spotted for Matt. It was one of those places, we didn't want to talk about after. Way to close to the edge. The best climb of the day was "the Chute". It was really dug out and partially covered with ice.

My co-pilot and photographer taking the long way up the trail. Based on the look on her face, we weren't taking many more pictures that day.

We took yesterday off (New Year's day - go figure) and hit the spa.
