Maybe he has the same issue I'm having where the front gets really light.  I'm having the limit strap put in when the new axle goes in, but I did read in the ORI manual that increasing the lower section's pressure will help reduce that effect.

His locker seemed to react strangely, too.

Did he have a 4speed Atlas?  It seemed like a lot of revving without much movement.

Our local friend Jeff Stevens showing how Chewy is done. He had a young lady from the BLM with him.  She seemed positive about our sport and seemed to have a lot of fun.

Oh, I thought you were supposed to break a yoke, or get winched, at that spot...so you're telling me it is supposed to be doable without doing those...I'll approach it differently this year :)

That 2 door JK looks like it would have been better on stock suspension, or even leaf springs for that matter.

I'll get more up later,  on the way back to Denver to catch my flight to ATL.  Trying to upload while on the road is going so-so.

Here's a video of a poorly setup JK 2dr on ORIs. You could tell he spent some money but it just didn't come together.  ORIs seemed like they were improperly valved,  something seemed whacky with his geometry, he ended up breaking his rear antirock link, it was a shit show.  We had to strap or winch him on every obstacle.  He does a tail stand and bounces off his rear spare in this video.  On yellow hill he went up on the 2 driver side tires and almost flipped sideways down the hill.

I'll post more as they upload

Looks like anti-squat #'s are off, ORI rear lower pressures are too low, and his wheel base is too short.
But he is there and I'm on my couch, so he still beats me.

Great pics/videos!!! Thanks for posting!
My 4Runner and I are quickly becoming dirty ol' men. More attitude and less flexibility every year.

Steve, I agree that being strapped all day in Pritchett's beats web wheeling. But in this guy's case it was closer than it should have been!
