Just reading the build list at the end. You had 5.38 gears in a 44 axle and 37s? I would've thought pinion too small and highway driving would be a pain. I already feel like the rpms go higher than I'd like with 5.13 gears, 37s, and 70mph

Just because we can
My wife and I filled up our coffee cups, jumped in the jeep and went for a Sunday drive, more like a Sunday 4 wheel drive. 5 minutes away are the Abajo mountains with plenty of snow to play in. We are up there 5 times a week with the jeep just because we can. I wish everyone who has a jeep could be this close to wheel spinning fun. See all of you lucky ones in Moab for Easter Jeep Safari.

I missed the email, but found this anyway.
3 things:
1. Winch hill 5 pucker factor seat retention is good for holding you in the seat. Holy .....
2. When Cindy was filming the near rollover, she didn't flinch and stayed on target with camera. Never mind Eddie, get the shot. :dont_tell:
3. Another great, fun, and jealousy inspiring video. Definitely enjoyed.

Video skills!
That was a hard trail and a lot of video work together to get that done! Great job! Camera/driving/spotting crew all looked pretty busy LOL!

Glad you liked it and yes, we were glad we got home safely too
Sitting in the office at work dying a slow death dreaming of big adventures in the wide open west . Some day !
LOL!! The west is a nice place to be if you're into Jeeps :yup:
Glad to hear we gave you something to entertain you on a Friday and that you thought it was a good representation of Fordyce
Well, it does snow up in the Sierra's but it's super nice in the summer. Not much in the way of mud either.
Honestly, I don't think spotting each other has done anything to help "team build" for us. I think Cindy and I have always just worked well with each other in general. If anything, being on a trail like would NOT be the place I'd want to be to build a better team. :crazyeyes:
5.38 is not a ratio I would recommend for a 44 or with 37's. After getting Moby's hand-me-down rear full float ProRock 60 that already had 5.38's in it, we decided to have our ProRock 44 bumped up as well. We did this knowing that we'd someday upgrade to a 60 front as well.
Good to see you around Ty and thanks!
Glad to hear it, thanks!
Thanks! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the video
:cheesy: Yes, Cindy is as steady as it comes.
Thank you - it was a hell of a long day for sure :crazyeyes:
LOL!! Oh yeah, Moby owned it that day.
LOL!! I think it's almost more intense to see than it was to feel :crazyeyes:

Awesome video once again! Nice to see how you can make it up the same trail with smaller tires by picking the right line.

damn, can't believe that Rubicat was sporting a Pro 44 in that video. that's all Dynatrac needs to show for a promo of their product. :beer:

took me long enough but finally had some free time to sit and enjoy the video. Love the laid back feeling of going out just for the fun of it and having some "quiet" family time.
Post #63 was selected at random and as luck would have it, that would be you. You've just WON a WAYALIFE Hoodie - CONGRATULATIONS! :clap2:
