Last year we used this jeep for recovery on the top of backdoor during the LCQ and on Aftershock during the main race. I was doing alright on the trails at the Hammers but wanted to be able to move a little quicker so new shocks and bump stops were ordered up.

Our local fab guy (Jeremy from DBS customs, Cal rocs 35" and under spotter team #426) has been helping me out with the welding that I can't do for a while. In June we put the Fox shocks up front and he built me a kickass rear bumper shortly after.

Finally he had enough time to take care of the rear end of my XJ, here are the fab porn pics:

Here we go with the fronts:

The XJ is looking great, we used to live in So Cal and were out in the Stoddard/Johnson valley area all the time. Wish we could go to KOH this year but it won't be happening

Maybe next year!

Do whatever you can to make it out, I couldn't believe how much fun we had last year.:wings:

Well after using these last month at KOH I can say that I am throughly impressed with the Speed Bumps from Teraflex. They worked great and soaked up alot of bumps that could have done alot of damage to my jeep. For the guys here that want a suspension that is forgiving and can take some abuse take a look at these bumpstops, you don't have to tune them or anything to make them work and they have bolt on applications for both the TJ and JK jeeps right now.
