Questions for the owner:
Favorite modification you have done?
- The Teraflex sway bar disconnect system. I just have to turn a knob to disconnect. I get full articulation up front. When it is connected it acts like a giant sway bar actually improving how the jeep handles on the road.
What is your next modification?
- I am looking at doing an Atlas 4.3:1 T-case this year. With it being a sport it only has the 2.72:1 low range ratio. It has been great with the 4.88 gears, but I’m looking for a little more control with the manual transmission.
Favorite off road adventure you have been?
- We have done Moab with SDJC twice already. It is by far our favorite place to adventure. The people are nice there. There is so much to see, and we don’t have to do the crazy trails all the time. My wife and I tend to enjoy the scenic trails over the gnarly steep obstacles. With that being said we got some great pictures on Top of the World this last year.
Scariest situation in your rig?
- My first time off road. It doesn’t seem so scary now looking back. My jeep was only 7 days off the lot; brand spankin’ new. I still had my paper plates on it. We were at the 50th TDS Desert Safari. I had no idea what 4Lo was or how to use it. My jeep has a manual gear box, and I had little control going up or down the hills and obstacles that the TDS club had set up for the green, easy run. I was super nervous and literally scared sick that I was going to wreck my new toy.
What trail is on top of your bucket list?
- I have to do the Rubicon, but I think that the trails up in Ouray, Colorado are going to take precedence.
