October 2015 JOTM Winner!

Congratulations to Larry “CJ8Larry” for October 2015 JOTM Winner!

This picture was taken back in May during the club run to Hot Springs ORV park. The trail / obstacle was Bailey’s Boulders. The second half of Bailey’s boulders has always given me fits in the past but this time someone (I think it was Redneck Ron?) suggested a different line to hug the left side. I tried it and the old Scrambler just walked right up it. I think the new Krawlers helped a little too. It was one of my more proud Jeep moments.

The Jeep is a 1981 CJ-8 Scrambler running a Ford FI 302 / C6 auto / Dana 300 with 4:1. Out back is a ford 9″ with a Detroit locker and 4:88 gears. The front is a Dana 44 with a new Grizzly locker, 4:88s and Yukon Chromoly shafts. Tires are 37″ BFG blue label Krawlers on 17″ Allied beadlocks.

Thank you for the votes. CJ’s Rule!
