Dnr website should have a good map of the ahtanum state forest for you. The trail is right off of the North Fork ahtanum rd, and up 4w615. On the map, the trail is not given a number.

Depending on if you're going 12.50 or 10.50 on the 33s. You might need to trim your inerfenders (fender liners). But there's not alot involved in order to fit them. Your definitely going to rub when you flex, unless you get extended bump stops.

Yeah, this was cheap for now still have stock rims on, that's why i love Jeep so much room to grow👍

We are based out of selah Washington. With most of our wheeling being done all over the eastern part of Washington.

No, this is in Washington.

Yeah, but it would probably result in a little bit of cosmetic damage. The trees are thick and close together at some points. Definitely doable tho.

We might be planing another trip up there later this fall, we don't have a date set but here is our website you can see all our upcoming events and trips, you can check later on when we decided on a date we will post it here GoPlayWA.com

16 inch rims in that video

I just got 32/11.5r15 KO2s for my 98ZJ on the same lift, had to order front upper control arms though, they've yet to come in.

Here is a link to our website, you can find upcoming events and jeep runs. easternwashingtonexpeditions.com/

My 5.2 V8 runs great, currently on 6 inch lift and 33s. I'll be posting a build update soon.

Why?

Lmao, yeah not my best work. Im a tad bit nervous while filming if ya couldn't tell, trying to get better at that. Geting more organized on what i need to talk about in the video, so im spending less time stumbling on what to say next. Honestly thats a huge improvement when compared to my older vids lol. Ill be making a new build update this winter, sould be alot better than that.

Its about a 5 inch lift, i never bought a kit. Its sorta of pieced together, the shocks, coils and rear trackbar are all rubicon Express. The control arms are Amazon special arms i got for cheap, not sure on the brand. And than a Ebay front trackbar relocation bracket. Ill be stacking up 2 or 3 factory coil isolators for free 1 inch spacer lift, just for some extra clearance.

Theres not many places i can think of thatd be challenging for you, not to much rock crawling around here. There are some aggressive trails around rimrock, liberty and elby 4x4 areas . But its more of off camber, mud and small obstacles the worst being steep off camber hill climbs, nothing that would challenge your buggy to much.

@@cegadventures2492 thanks yeah I took a few years off and just got it built. I took it to trail hero sand hollow for my first time out in it. It is really fun there

No, i have personally ran the trail going both ways. This trail is not one way only.

Id love to go 35s, but i wont be able to flex as much as id like without the tire in the fender ripping the tires apart. And the lack of power to push the bigger size. Im going to be getting a new set of tires hopefully this winter. Im debating on BFG KM3 or mickey MTZ P3. Either way, ill be deciding on 33s or 35s. Im only hesitant on the 35s because of my gears. Its a hole other project for regearing to 4.88s But of everything goes to plan, i should be looking at a 7inch lift and 35s with new gears and lockers in the near future.

Yeah as much as I love hitting the trails and 4-wheeling I just have no desire to go that big with tires, aside from the fact that things really start breaking and horrible gas mileage, I feel like it takes away from being a good daily driver too much for me, but hey to each their own. This is still America, for now anyway..

Thanks for checking out the video, i really appreciate it. My build has came along way since than, geting a little bit more aggressive. It all depends on what you want to do with your jeep. For me, i have been building my jeep to be a mid-core wheeler and overland rig that i can take anywhere i want without having much difficulty traveling over the terrain. I see alot of people build the zj to be a light duty rig, with a small lift and 31 inch tires and that seems to be one of the most popular builds for this jeep. Theres some crazy builds that involve lots of custom work that generally are just used for rock crawling and snowwheeling due to not being exatly "street legal". If you happen to have Instagram, you can check me out to see the current state of my build. And you can also private message me if you wanted to discuss possible build ideas and lift kits, stuff like that im always happy to help with.

I got it from a 1996 zj, and yes it is the factory limited slip differential.

Hmm, did it come with an specialized adapter for the vehicle? I heard some people complain online that they just ship a generic adapter that sometimes flips the high and low beams.

@@cegadventures2492 no It says it's built in then I bought adapters/resistors and it did not help I'm going to try replacing the relay but if that dose not work I think I'ma just remove the high beam wire and just run low beams and run my light pods as high beams lol

You're welcome, Ill be runing the trail again later this year. And i have better camera equipment, so ill be able to make a better video of the trail this time.

@@cegadventures2492 Cool, I'll look for it! Did the same thing myself (picked up a new camera - GoPro9) to make better milling and Jeep vids ;) Good Luck!

Yeah, i think i need to do that. Ive just been lazy, and haven't gotten around to it.

About 5 inch short arm lift.

I didn't, i had to leave it unplugged. You might be able to get an adapter, but im not sure if it will work.

@@cegadventures2492 I just bought this 96 zj and the guy I bought it from put a 231 in it and I saw the plug off and it would not fit. My speedometer and 4 wheel drive light on the dash doesn’t work and I just can’t find any information anywhere

Oh, so there's 2 plugs. One on top doesn't plug in, and its just for the 4wheel drive light. Idk how to make that work. The other plug thats closest to the rear drive shaft, is the speedometer gear housing. You can try looking for a 231 speedometer housing, but im confused because i was able to plug my factory plug into the new transfer case without any hassle.

If im thinking of the right plug, Than thats just to tell you that your in 4-wheel or 2-wheel drive. It just controls a light in the VIC or display screen, It has no important purpose. I personally left it hanging unplugged, with my 231 theres no place to plug it in. Im not sure how to make it work if you did want to have it plug in.

I live on the east side of Washington so most of the trails i go on are really dry and desert like. Unless im snow wheeling in the winter. I dont get alot of rain on this side, so carrying a bandanna in the jeep helps keep me fom breathing dust. The further west you go, the wetter it gets. And it all depends on what season it is. Naches pass goes over the cascades so its wet on one side and dry on the other. It was October when we went so it was muddy most of the trail.

All lower and rear upper arms, i cant find the link to. I bought them back in 2020. But the orange front upper arms are here www.amazon.com/dp/B07R858HMF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_syUm2rs3hfb2C

That would have worked great, But I just had a reciver put on that works as a recovery point and radiator support. Ill be making a video about it shortly to show it off.

I have a limited slip in the rear, but lately it's been not working properly. I think It needs a rebuild.

@@cegadventures2492 I have a 97 4.0 spartan locked in back I love it but you will have to relearn how to drive with it

Looks like a kinetic rope might be in the future.

Yeah, our elastic strap did alright. But I thinks it's only like a 15% stretch when a rope is around 30% stretch. It would have been alot smother with a kinetic rope.
