A few weeks ago we met you at the final High Clearance, Short Wheelbase, 4WD trailhead for Mt. Sneffels. We were speechless when you pulled up with your Trailhawk. We had hiked 2 miles up that trail, and could not believe someone was able to drive up. Great job!! Will you be posting a video of that day? Also, interested how you were able to get it back down??
Thats one of my favorite parts of wheeling a non-wrangler! The video will get posted at some point, but right now i'm still going through footage from May...😑 I got the part from Montrose, then a friend brought me back and i swapped it out and was able to drive it home. All things considered i was really fortunate it was an easy part to replace on the trail.
What’s up Fearless, I have a 19 WK2 with a 2.5 lift and 33 and said no way I can do this, but you made this look easy. I got to give this a try next time I’m in Moab. You are the man!
Yep. It would be doable stock with the right lines and full skid plates and rock rails. I'm not the first to take my KL through this trail, and i won't be the last! I can't wait to go back and give the trifecta a good run!
Hey I got a 2017 KL trail hawk and was wondering if you'd recommend me going with fox long travel or getting quick disconnect sway bars for more articulation on the trails? Also, if I go with a 3 inch MCF lift and then subframe drop it after to get closer to factory CV angles do you think my CV's will still get worn down to quickly and would recommend staying at 2.5 inch of lift?
IMHO...pretty much a no to all of it. 🤷 Stay at 2" lift. The subframe drop only helps the rear CVs, but it also deletes the benefit of the lift...since the only thing the lift raises...is the center...not your low hanging control arms.
The B6 is a direct OEM replacement so far as i'm aware, just better. Plenty of facebook groups/forums with way mire mechanically inclined and knowledgeable people than me. Parts are: (as of 2 years ago) Left Front Strut 22-266774 Right Front Strut 22-266781 Rear Shocks 24-265980
