Did Lockhart Basin trail in Moab. Didn't see anyone till the most southern area of the trail. It was nice getting away...

Installed the MBRP dual outlet cat back system and I love it so far. I like the look with the tips installed and with them removed the exhaust is tucked up nice and tight for extra clearance. It sounds fantastic outside and it’s not too loud inside, although my wife disagrees, so that could be an issue.

The LOD frame reinforcements required some cutting to work with the factory bumper.

Getting ready to install the LOD brackets in a week or so. Interested to know what kind of cutting was involved. I thought the install only required drilling out holes in the frame?

Installed a Fab Fours bumper and LOD frame reinforcements Friday night and Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 coilovers, and ELEV8 crash bar location covers yesterday.

Installed a Buckleup Offroad winch mount, Badlands winch, LOD frame reinforcements and Lumen8 Hybrid R Dual Fog Lights. Also switched out the stock goodyears after 32000 miles to 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts. Man, these tires are beefy compared to the stock tires.

How are the Mickey's on road noise? Thanks

I may be speaking out of turn here. They are noisy but not terrible. I have them on an Excursion. Nittos were almost silent.

Lockhart Basin used to be a very gentle trail, looks like it has roughened up, or did you take some more difficult lines on purpose?

EDIT: Your photos on the other thread look more like what I remember.

Nope, those hard parts are the trail, the most northern part after Hurrah Pass and half way through Chicken Corners. Once off of Chicken Corners, the northern start of the trail, it gets hard ASAP going up through the bottom of the canyon. It was fun and the Bronco did great. I used the rear locker quite a few times when flexed out and the front locker just twice to help pull on some of the steeper obstacles.

Thanks, last time I was on it was in a fairly new '84 BII, no lockers, tiny tires. Interesting.

I'm heading out to Moab for a week in September, is this trail doable without a winch?

I did it without much trouble, in fact no trouble except getting my passenger rear shock mount stuck on a rock. Had to Austin Powers it a little bit for it to not catch anymore...

Also, if ran from South to North, you can turn around if it starts to intimidate you or you just don't feel comfortable going on. From North to South your in the hardest stuff right off the bat.

I did use both lockers. I'm sure one could do it without or just the rear but then you need a little bit more momentum and that's when stuff happens.

Met up with some others at the Tiger Bay State Forest. And somehow, there is mud over the top of the bumper.

How do you like the winch mount so far? I want this one but it never says in-stock.

Little cruise around the house today. Was really tempted to take the front panels off, but I chickened out. Still only 40 degrees...
