my jeep performed awesome this weekend.. except the $5 shocks.. 3 out of 4 of the top stud bushings vacated by about 2:30 Saturday afternoon.  then had to put up with constant thud-thud as the shock went up and down..  really think I need new rear shocks and probably new springs, it was very rough.

really wonder if they were over tightened during install and cracked.   If you want a quick fix, im sure i have a ton of stock bushings from shocks i have cut out, i can take a look in the pile. 


I also have a set of springs still :)

Had a good time bumping (slamming?) my LJ on the rocks.  Relatively new to those big boulders -- point rocky thingies.  Tore off a front drive shaft boot and bent rear exhaust, but nothing major (hey, it made it home!)  The worst experience, though, was on a flat, green trail and a magic rock jumped out and pushed me off the trail!  Extrication 201 on a newbie trail.  How humiliating!

Food and fellowship was awesome.  Thanks, all, for helping me set up, tear down, and bust rocks!
