Keep in mind i didn't remove my front sway bar disconnects
I plan to go back to the same place asap w/o the disconnects

So this is the deal w/ this set of pictures. I haven't been wheelin since back in early june, 99 when my engine blew up. An entire summer w/o a jeep.... then i get the engine rebuilt and toss it back in with the help of 2 great buddies of mine, Matt(Jpstr-) and Mike(_STRIKER). Got my jeep back at the end of the summer and i've been down at school for the past couple of months with too much work goin on to go wheelin. I finally get a break, thanksgiving break, and decide I MUST find some place to atleast flex my jeep up a little. Ya know.. to release some of that pent up frustration from not wheeling for so long. So this is all well and good... well it would be if i was going to north jersey where i live in the mountains.. but no, i end up down in south jersey where there are no mountains.. hell there's no hills down here. So while running some errands, I took it upon myself to find something i could crawl on and pose for a few pictures. I grabbed my father's digital camera and off i went. It took me 2 days to find what I did... how sad is that.. the only thing i found that could have made for a decent flex shot was the big sea wall down by the beach, and a few "imported" rocks at the end of some people's driveways. But both of those things would have been difficult to explain why i was crawlin my jeep on em. So the search continued... Finally i found this cool lookin road that was really straight and looked to be nearly unending.. so i followed it.. it evenutally turned into a dirt road.. and had a slight curve.. and i ended up at this little clearing.. i had found an overpass for the gardenstate parkway. a huge 1' diameter tube blocked off the rest of the trail.. and i was dissappointed at first.. that was until i noticed that there was a concrete ledge.. that to my eye resembled a makeshift rti ramp... yes!! mission accomplished.. as i pulled up i noticed some dead couches and ... yes a dead deer.. great.. as i stepped out of my jeep to lock the hubs i was overcome by the incredible odor of decaying deer.. lovely isn't it.. well check out the pics


Usin that concrete ledge as a ramp:


: check that bfg stuff
: cool flex, like the slashes in my rear window?
: decent bit of drop


: closeup of MT
: u can see the deer by front of roof blah..

: where my passenger fell out.. wait i didn't have one
: more stuffing
: biggest no trespassing sign ever
: pulled up a little further, rear maxed out


Little hill climb:
: got another 15-20ft higher but my parking break wouldn't hold it there so i couldn't take a pic


Flexin on a dirt pile:
: flexin the other side
: check the leaf spread

: sadly enough i left the sway bar disconnects on
: some rear droop
