Three Jeep Trails Colorado - Tri-Trail Wail
Another TJ owner not afraid to ditch the fender flares, John Kilpatrick, equipped his TJ with a 4.5-inch Old Man Emu suspension lift, a 4:1 T-case low range, and a Dana 60 rear to better handle the balloonish Swamper Iroks. The weather from day to day held everything from mild temps and sunshine to snow squalls.
Brett Glassett's '00 TJ is more bobbed than Tori Spelling's nose and puts the extra clearance to use, fitting 37-inch Krawlers with a homebuilt Bilstein coilover suspension. The axles, a swapped GM 14-bolt rear and a Ford high-pinion Dana 60, run 5.13 gears and Detroit Lockers. The axle gears help the 4.0L and factory five-speed move the Jeep along.
Jim Fitzgerald held the honor of being the only participant who never needed to take a winch line the whole weekend. Jim's tube bed J-Truck employs a Ford Dana 60 front and somewhat little 37-inch MT/Rs to get the job done.
Jack Schuler from Avenger Superchargers made the trip in "Scrappy," which you no doubt read about on page 68 in this issue with hushed amazement. Here, Jack adds some balance sand to his front tire for those 100 mph off-road blasts.
"Someday mom will buy me a real pair of pants." Another target of amusement for us if Clifton's omnipresent wardrobe of cargo-pocket short shorts. The scary part is that he's also barefoot.
