Nice! It looks like we have another contender for the gfb huckfest crown.

The 37's have always rubbed, I've had them on for almost two years now. Fiberglass fenders and bedsides will go on next week, so it shouldn't be a problem in the future (if I need to, I'm going to remove the heating system in order to get more clearance).

I counted 3 other Broncos camped in the vicinity, but only had a chance to wheel with one of them, which is owned by Gusto Jimenez, who is a regular freelance writer for Off-Road.

As for aftermath photos, well, there's really nothing to show. No new damage on this jump, although the takeoff was a bit steeper than I had realized, and it pre-loaded the suspension so that I came down on the front end first. That almost never happens--usually I fly pretty flat and land on all four tires.

This was the last hurrah on that particular suspension. Next week, The Juice goes down to McNeil for fiberglass fenders, bedsides, and a hood, and then immediately to Camburg for their longtravel kit. It's a big rush right now to get it ready for display at the Off-Road Expo.

Jeff,

Are you selling off any of your old suspension parts? If so let me know.

Chris, I'm passing the suspension parts on to the former intern at Off-Road, who has a Bronco as well.

I do have parts from time to time that are perfectly good, but get replaced with other ones for stories, so I'll make sure to post anything like that up here at GFB.

Ok, ok, I have more. I have to take care of Best Man duties for a friend's wedding tomorrow, so give me a day or two and I'll try to post more up by Monday.
