Last week we joined a wide variety of other Grands to run a number of trails in the Moab area. The trial we chose was Hell's Revenge, a trail we had run several previous times but which offers the vistas and obstacles that we were seeking. High on our list was testing the prototype disconnects. We were concerned the telescoping design of these disconnects may not have sufficient travel, and indeed the first obstacles on the trail showed that to be the case. It this was determined a design that would accommodate the range of 0 to 4 inches of suspension travel would have to be scraped in favor of one for only lifted (2 to 4 inches) vehicles.
We also were testing the new installed Bilstein front ADJUSTABLE shocks. This setup proved itself to be far superior to the stock setup, handling on-road and off-road maneuvers extremely well. The ride quality on road and their ability to flatten out the corners were particularly noteworthy. We will soon be adding Bilstein rear shocks to test their impact on the vehicle.
Lastly, we had the latest version of the Matrix front guard on our WK. We like the new design, as do several you had occasion to look it over. We now go forward with the design to see about production costs and timeframes.
