Brooooooooo people don’t know the street cred you gained from that chocolate thunder climb 🙌🏻 keep up the good work dude!

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you! It’s way steeper in the drivers seat, and that was my buddies first time going four wheeling (he was riding in the back 😂)

I have watched all of your videos and some of them several times. Does it help when I watch them more than once. This will be one i will watch again.thanks for taking us on the trip.

[@mikes4x4garage]

[@welikeblackhawks]

Forgot to run those front bump stops before KOH lol

[@holemajora598]

Haha yes the Cherokee boys are definitely proud

[@tradeMark182]

Freed my time for this one , lets go

[@jackstandjockeys9859]

Mine used to make that noise when the fan would hit the metal ac line by battery I believe, could’ve been motor mounts, fixed it with a zip tie haven’t heard it in years now

[@jayp3079]

Mike you should do a slomo replay of that front end shot going through the whoops

[@Notafordguy]

Hell yeah catching mats tow rig

[@tintopshop6698]

Mikes a sender 🤘I’ve got to make it to KOH

[@mikes4x4garage]

[@frincon75]

Super sick

Hide that beer. You don't want to be caught drinking a Busch brand.

Where’s the 5th

[@tiredaf1]

I’m jealous 🤦‍♂️ I was heading out the las weekend of king of hammers on my way home frm work to take off for the week I crash my motorcycle and had to sit this year out I had my xj all set up ready to climb I was so sad lol

[@mikes4x4garage]

Next year!

[@mamterilleq]

When’s the next party? Haha

[@forreststrong797]

What size front shocks are you running like how long, 10 inch? 12 inch?

[@mikes4x4garage]

The fronts are 2.5x12”, rear 2.5x14”

[@TheBananaSheep1]

How’d you like that antirock swaybar?

[@mikes4x4garage]

So far I like it! It firmed up the ride a ton, however I did install it at the same time as the shocks so those might of helped as well.

[@DeuceDeuceBravo]

Do the Kings still need a rebuild? Looks like the Jeep held up great! 🍻

[@mikes4x4garage]

They really felt fine on this trip, so I might run them for a year or so and then rebuild them when I have time

[@TJ-po9ol]

You need some coil overs with hydraulic bumps then you'll be set

[@tkelly1087]

Dude, cool content. Don't want to tell you how to build your stuff but if you keep running the truck with the front shocks contacting the axle, they will break. Those are expensive shocks, would hate to see you destroy them. A quick fix if you don't want to relocate them right away would be to extend your bump stops. You'll lose a little up travel but it will save your shocks. ✌️

[@mikes4x4garage]

Oh they don’t contact anymore. They self clearanced themselves 😀

[@moreriding155]

What axles your running to handle all that

[@mikes4x4garage]

Stock d30/8.25 with a truss on both

[@officialcarzilla6849]

How big are those tires? Looks like 37s

[@mikes4x4garage]

35s!

[@mikeeisenberger5179]

How do you have about no slip showing at ride height on that rear shaft? I'd imagine it would bottom out but clearly you hit those whoops and the case isn't broken.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Yeah so the shaft used to be at the perfect length , then I added the shackle relocation brackets and it changed the setup. Probably why the Ujoints died so quickly. I just replaced the rear shaft with an Adam’s this week 👍🏻

[@mikeeisenberger5179]

@@mikes4x4garage I'm having to shorten my rear shaft after i just put a 231/300 doubler setup in my XJ so i've been messing with driveshafts a bit lately. I guessed 1/3 of the travel for up since i'm only setup for 3" of up travel and 9" down in the back.

[@mikes4x4garage]

@@mikeeisenberger5179 nice setup. I just picked up a 241 from a TJ, waiting to put that in myself

[@moejr14]

Bro, how heavy is that Jeep on the trailer?

[@mikes4x4garage]

No clue. Probably 4-5k…?

[@timk756]

That red yota on propane is nasty

[@mikes4x4garage]

There was so many sick crawlers there.

[@vwclub3]

What front axle do you have if its a d30 im impressed

[@mikes4x4garage]

It is!

[@rickypalomares9786]

@@mikes4x4garage Doing all that on 35s too! Sheesh. Chromoly? What other upgrades? Sick video

[@vwclub3]

Whats your build... Mine is truss c gussets stock gears cromollys all new bearings and race teraflex ball joints Aussie locker ..... B4 the cromollys truss gussets id break shafts every time i went out .... That and I switch from 35x14.5x15 pit bulls to 35 x12.5X15 been to afraid to beat on it since you gave me hope thought I waisted a bunch of $

[@Podcastcomedyy]

seems like u should just disconnect the front sway bar. thing looks tight

[@mikes4x4garage]

It’s an off-road sway bar, it’s not supposed to be disconnected. the anti rock sway bar allows full flex in the front when there’s weight on it. Being so steep there wasn’t any pressure on the springs

[@Dripix-uo1nu]

Where are those wheels from

[@mikes4x4garage]

They’re discontinued deegan 38s

[@johng7105]

How many alcohol beverages were consumed that weekend? Yes.

Love watching the builds and adventures, but I hope you'll eventually remove the intro clip of takeovers.. 0:43 nobody likes that reckless stuff, and it's clearly an intersection :/

I’m working on a new intro , that clip is probably 8 years old by now. Plus I want some new stuff anyway
