A different kind of Suspension Tuning - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

MattR · 2003-11-20, 10:11 PM

Here are some cool pics of my Jeep. ( Yes, the era before Subarus for me)
check out that travel. Sometimes I miss it.

tysonK · 2003-11-20, 10:12 PM

That looks pretty dam phun.

In the third pic it looks like that rock is balanced on top of your panda jeep.

STIwish · 2003-11-21, 12:10 AM

I havent been rock crawling in a long time... what suspension setup were u running there? hard to tell from the pics.

MattR · 2003-11-21, 07:09 AM

It ran a 4.5" Teraflex litf with some Rubicon express parts mixed in...it worked very well.

I thought I did some offroading behind Blue Lakes, but that is radical.

sperry · 2003-11-21, 08:47 AM

Awewsome man! That thing's a BEAST!

AtomicLabMonkey · 2003-11-21, 08:57 AM

That's awesome... makes me want to go strap some huge tires on the Jeep, disconnect the swaybars, and hit the trail.

ArthurS · 2003-11-21, 09:12 AM

Wow. Too bad you gave that puppy up. Whata beast. :shock:

How about no. Unless it's more like SUV Euthanasia Car Club of the Sierras.

MattR · 2003-11-21, 11:54 PM

Yeah! No SUV's! My Jeep was not an SUV...It was a Jeep...Please refrain from using the "S" word when referring to it.

The difference is that Jeeps are the original go-anywhere off-road utility vehicle. The Jeep Wrangler traces its origins back to world war 2 and the original Willy's Jeep (that you see G.I's riding around in in every WW2 movie). The Jeep Cherokee was the first mid-size utility vehicle to be designed back in 1984. All the "SUV's" that have come out since then have been based on a Jeep in one way or another. That's why our Jeeps are just that... Jeeps. :wink:

Plus Jeeps aren't all over-grown and useless. Matt's Jeep could drive over an H2. An H2 has problems crawling over a curb.

Simply put, that guy didnt know how to 4-wheel for shit... seriously, he is hung and he can think of nothing better than to floor it.. what a fucking idiot... that boulder field could be taken by my Tracker with nothing more than a rear locker and 235s.

Shitty driver or not, the fucking suspension destroyed itself on a 10" tall rock. Your tracker'd make that rock because it's suspension is just as strong as the H2's but it doesn't have to carry 6000lbs.
