Thanks for the epic opportunity you guys. I've been drooling over these slinky lifts for quite awhile now.

Edit: last minute photo change. Forgot I had this one

Lets throw something in the mix for those who would like to come but havent purchased a slinky kit from one of our dealers yet!

Lets make an award winning pic for a winner even without Slinky and put a Stage 1 kit up for part of the prize !

lets put a set of control arms and panhards up for runner up as well.

Post up those awesome Cruiser pics !

LOL That worked!

Dome Plateau over looking Arches NP and La Sal Mountains.

The story: This white 96 TLC is NOT my trail rig. It’s a bone stock, unlocked with 380k miles that I picked up cheap with light front damage (hence the missing plastic front corners) 3 months ago for my 16 year old to drive.

A week ago the head gasket went on my Trail TLC (locked, lifted, armored, etc.). No surprise, it was the original with 253k mile, I just wish it could’ve held out for another couple months!

Here’s the point, I took a new to me, stock, unlocked, 22 years old TLC with 380k miles, threw a set of 33” tires , pulled the rear mud flaps and wheeled it on the ORIGINAL suspension and wheeled it with 29 Jeeps, virtually all lifted, all but 3-4 newer than my TLC. 2 of the Jeeps (JKs) fell out due to mechanical problems, several more were on the verge of over heating on a 70 degree day (hence hoods up at stop), another high centered on something I crossed (the longest, probably the lowest, and by far the heaviest vehicle in the group).

I got stuck behind two 4-door Rubicon with 35”s and AEV lifts (supposedly on of the best engineered lifts for JKs). They were horrible bump wimps!!! I couldn’t believe how timid they were. This at 5 mph, they had more tire and way more clearance. I assumed their high priced parts could at least keep up with a 22 year old and 380k mile STOCK 80 suspension

Stock 80s seem exceptionally talented at gobbling up rough roads, I can’t wait to get a Slinky under my 80!

The Aussies say "If you want to go into the Outback you need to take a Jeep, a Land Rover, or a Land Cruiser. If you want to come back.... you take a Land Cruiser."

The T Shirt shop in Moab sells shirts/stickers that say “You just got your butt kicked by Daddy’s little Girl!”

I want to get one that says “You just got your butt kicked by Daddy’s little TLC!”

I think it may be time to pick a winner! I'll get with Darren and see if he's ready to pick one or if we want to drag this out a bit longer.
