I wasn't fully up the rock. The rear drops just fine. The front is within spec for needed drop. I think I can get more travel if I get a lower bump stop for the front. I will post a pic of it soon.

Nice build up Bull.
EL_3grab,
The front shock on 100 series also function as extension bump stop. You could easily adapt longer shock but don't be surprised if you start snaping tie rod/steering rack or upper ball joint.
Longer front shock are worthless if you did not address the upper ball joint and and steering related component.

Thanks! I'm uploading photos of it out on a trail run. I didn't get the rear bumper on or the front but they are painted. I will have photos up in a bit. Albert did great today. It was like wheeling a cadillac!!!

After almost getting to the top; this section gave me fits. The granite is at a 90 degree angle. I kept getting hung up on the cross member and rear control arms. I need skid plates on the undercarriage! Tor's SWB had no problems

I will have some more photos and maybe a video or two after I get them from Tor. I will do a follow up comment and thoughts later tonight.
No damage. No body damage. I'm stoked!

How about improvising? You should put some rocks next to the ledge and try to drive over them. It's wet, I know... Rocks + winch would probably do.
Face it: for this kind of trails SWB bastards will always be better than a 100, no matter what you do :( .

Thought about stacking rocks but that is for pussies  and ruins it for the others who use the trail. Tor who was in the FJ40 wanted to drag me over it, but I want to wait until I have some protection underneath.

Rodney if you had stacked rocks you would have never heard the end of it. Rock stacking pussies. Sheesh. If you can't get your cadillacs over the rocks get your asses back on the forest services roads. But God help us all....don't stack rocks! If you can't make it...that means you need an upgrade somewhere.

Shotts came up with some easy mods to address this. Weld a plate on the mount and weld angle iron to the lower arms. Here's a link to his pics: http://shottscruisers.smugmug.com/ga...316/1/44066632
Great job so far, keep em coming.

Yep...the weak spot. Those lower arms. Straighten that bent one in a press then weld on that angle iron like I did. 
Don't forget the 3/8 steel plate on the front side of the arm mount too.

100 series on lake isabel trail
Actually, I have had my 100 series on that trail. Did you go accross the log bridge? I haven't gone past the log bridge in my 100, but have been to the top with my 80 that I had. Past the bridge is not so 100 series freindly.
