@@mikes4x4garage I’m almost sure he shit his pants, I was there Friday night, but I didn’t get so see you in action, there was another xj with a white LED whip(short in my channel), but didn’t catch yours
Nice job man! Making chocolate thunder is HUGE!! Good on ya. I hope to see you there one day! Been a long time goal of mine as well. See ya on the trails
chocklet thunder was some crazy shit but you stayed cool and slayed it . your jeep is just bad ass as hell now. that was a fun video. You guys looked wore out. 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.
Hell yeah keep the party going! Sick content. I must add that your rear driveshaft doesn’t look to have enough slip for compressed suspension. Keep the videos coming!!!
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
Excelente video , hace muy poco te sigo y me gusta bastante el Jeep xj , tengo un Jeep zj y muchas ganas de hacerle modificaciones, saludos y sigue subiendo contenido como este 👍🏻✌🏻
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
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.
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 👍🏻
@@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.
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. ✌️
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
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 $
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 :/
Brooooooooo people don’t know the street cred you gained from that chocolate thunder climb 🙌🏻 keep up the good work dude!
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 😂)

@@UrbanOpsOffRoad damn!
I really like the directors cut style! Hearing your extra story stuff is really entertaining on top of the sick footage
Thanks!!
It's always a good day when we get a Mikes4x4Garage upload! You put that XJ through the wringer!
I could feel the hangovers on the last morning driving out, ouch haha. Great video as always - can't wait for the Tacoma build!

Next year!
Haha yes the Cherokee boys are definitely proud
woohoo new video
Freed my time for this one , lets go
Mike you should do a slomo replay of that front end shot going through the whoops
i wanna see the MORR wrecker go back and do it again with the upgrades they put

@@mikeeisenberger5179 nice setup. I just picked up a 241 from a TJ, waiting to put that in myself
Hide that beer. You don't want to be caught drinking a Busch brand.
Oh come on 😂
Mikes a sender 🤘I’ve got to make it to KOH
You gotta go at least once!
Yah, back to the Taco!
Coming soon for sure!
I’ve been neglecting it!
Great video! Can’t wait for taco content!
Good video
Forgot to run those front bump stops before KOH lol
What's under the blue tarp in the driveway? 👀
Bro, how heavy is that Jeep on the trailer?
No clue. Probably 4-5k…?
Hell yeah catching mats tow rig
What size front shocks are you running like how long, 10 inch? 12 inch?
The fronts are 2.5x12”, rear 2.5x14”

Oh they don’t contact anymore. They self clearanced themselves 😀
Roger Ebert: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Where’s the 5th
seems like u should just disconnect the front sway bar. thing looks tight
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
How big are those tires? Looks like 37s
35s!
How’d you like that antirock swaybar?
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.
What axles your running to handle all that
Stock d30/8.25 with a truss on both
What front axle do you have if its a d30 im impressed
It is!
@@mikes4x4garage Doing all that on 35s too! Sheesh. Chromoly? What other upgrades? Sick video

You need some coil overs with hydraulic bumps then you'll be set
That red yota on propane is nasty
There was so many sick crawlers there.
Do the Kings still need a rebuild? Looks like the Jeep held up great! 🍻
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
Where are those wheels from
They’re discontinued deegan 38s
Super sick
🤘🏻
When’s the next party? Haha
How many alcohol beverages were consumed that weekend?
Yes.
Yes.
I met god at king of hammers
12 hours towing then immediately go wheeling. Ahhh to be young again, lol.
That was a LONG day!
Drop the socials of that blonde girl, she’s so pretty 🤩 you should definitely show more of her in your upcoming videos
Creep
Need to take that front sway bar off
It’s an anti rock sway bar, it stays on
Lol everyone gets shit housed all day then goes rock climbing lol lol
Drop Taco Vid Soon
Where’s the Tacoma content
Coming soon ish
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
Lol shut up
Nah, Mike’s near the Bay, the proper term is “sideshow”
I’m here for the Tacoma videos
We do a mixture here!
Tacoma update
Instagram
First
your fun level looks like it was off scale
It was an awesome time!
