Same here, this thing is going to be one capable rig. And seeing how far he was able to push the stock suspension ride last week at windrock, I'll be bringing my popcorn in August to watch some of his runs.

I really need to make it down for that trip, 10 hours really isnt too bad.

Im pretty excited to get it started myself. I'm really thinking about backhalfing it and doing a lot of tube work and maybe keeping the back of the body.

Hopefully it'll be done by August. As Long as all parts come in its possible but I'm thinking about really taking my time and doing some serious tube work. Either do that or keep as much frame as possible and get the jeep done fast... We will see idk what I'm gonna do yet.

It damn well better be! I want a Grubb wheel off on Rattle Rock. Some of us have bets going. Honestly, I think yours AND Josh's might be finished before Scott's.

Lol rattle rock kicked my ass! I think of it more as a day or regression testing my warn. It passed lol. Maybe it will be easier on 40s this year but my buddies on 42s struggled big time so doubt it. It was very wet the day we tried which didn't help, no grip at all

Other than a couple spots, Scott pretty much walked up the left side in the juggy on 40s. It will definitely be worse in a JK.

Last week on the prerun I tried it in my Juggy on 40s. Went around half way with a few times winching and then bailed out onto the left side. Some massive holes in there and lot of big rocks to grab diffs.

Edit: I really think my JK will have no chance in hell but Im sure ill give it a try when its done.

Ya I had to try. Got up through the lower section, struggled but made it. Then the middle was like, thia isnt bad. Went around the sharp left hand turn to upper section and was like omg. About half way up the upper section we should have turned around but instead did the whole thing. Some places weren't bad but some were rediculous with the large holes. Unless yours running tires out past bumpers there was no choice but to winch.

Maybe??? Lol, we got tired of trying to navigate after awhile and just started looked for harder stuff. Is that the one that's just past the entrance to rattle rock?

Yeah. Once you get to the top of Rattle, go to the left and it's a hill climb down on the right. Left side isn't too bad but the right side has about a 5' wall to climb. Watched a guy in a built YJ with a Hemi just crawl up it.
