    Revalve would still probably help.

    Don't know, but think it had a little more. Just barely on the bump there. Shocks/bumps were setup for vertical travel, don't really care about articulation. Being they're inboard slightly, they'll never move as much flexing as Durring vertical travel.

    Based on the dirt, you can tell I used more of the shock travel previously.

    I am curious about what you would change on the valving on the ADSs. Add some rebound? Or more than that? It does look like the front comes up a lot after landing. The back looks pretty composed. :thumbsup:

    What coil are you running?

    agreed.

    Looked like aadding a touch of comp and rebound would help. But no idea what is in there now. I have no idea what my ADS are valved at either.

    650lb coils.

    Not a clue what's in there now, but would need to defer to @TMFF for valving advice. Not an expert in that field. Thinking more rebound, and a flutter stack if there isn't one already.

    Stuff. Also things.
    You're running a flutter stack in the rear, aren't you? Did the rear seem better behaved over washboards?

    Rear has a flutter stack. The coilovers have always performed well on washboards, which I drove quite a bit of yesterday. Rear wasn't noticeably better for those.

    I would just add medium speed rebound. Too much comp valving for what you don't do often (jumps) can make everything else rattle your fillings out even with a flutter stack. Hell your fronts just might be low on charge so the shock isn't working 100% like it should.

    Hit 270K miles on this pile above the North Rim.

    Power steering pump sounds like it's about to explode.

    Poly bushings in the front sound like a group of seals.

    Stick smashed an ebrake bracket and smoked the brakes.

    My favorite Wilson flex CB antenna broke.


    Trip was awesome!

    Now that I figured how to stitch those together, I need to read how to actually use lightroom. Will be a bit before I can go through my pics.

    We made our own route, but looks like a lot of the same area.

    We ran Hole in the Rock Trail - Crossed the Ferry - Burr Trail - Hole in the Rock Road - didn't read the Trail Damage report on the new start of Left Hand Collet and missed it - Smokey Mountain Road - Grand Bench - Alstrom - before heading to the North Rim.

    If you have time, I wouldn't worry about following the predetermined route just so. There's tons of awesome stuff out there without having to complete a certain route someone else laid down.

    Escalante and back again.


    Read the 2nd paragraph:

    https://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=480

    Should have only been there twice. Probably only once if we pushed the spare gas going from the end of HITR to Big Water. Oh well, at least we have stories of how lovely Escalante and all three gas stations there are.

    We did that part....
