Just got back from a fun weekend on the Rubicon. We got there Sunday morning just in time to sit and wait for everyone to leave. After about three hours and almost no forward progress we took the bypass to the slabs.
I didn't have a passenger this time to tkae pics so I only have a couple.
The 37 boggers, beadlocks, frame sliders and rock sliders got a heavy work out.
I broke right front axle and cv in the "box". Swapped in the spare and came back for more. Made it through the line on the far left. I think it is called the wall line. Unfortunately no one took hardly any pictures.
This pic is right after the first ledge which is the crux(given 'normal' routes).

Looks fun!!!
Are you getting any contact with tires and body/wheel wells/outriggers? Looks like 4" bumpstops?

I've got SG stage 3 suspension; so about 4" of lift although it was weighed down from all the gear in the back.
I think the bumpstops are 4" but the way they mount on the defender makes them about 4 1/2"
Under extreme articulation they tires rub the bulkhead, the tops of the rear wheel wells, the spring perches, and the front shocks and or shock towers.
The rubbing is minor and something I can live with.
I think I will extend the rear bumpstops 1/2".

They won't fit on the stock CV's! I have some Mac inner axles for the 110 CV's but no 110 CV's at the moment.
Hopefully I'll have them before the next run cause I'm out of spare right side fronts.:(
Hmm that reminds me that I have to get some.......
PS hope you didn't sell the 101 yet........you might want to save some parts from it:D

since these were off the rear they seem to be thicker.
It's cool though since i'm getting some 110 CV's.(to go with my mac axles)
I need a front short side axle shaft. I don't think you have any extra?(to give away:D) I actually have an extra CV left and one that can be rebuilt with minivan parts; so I'm ok in the CV department. Just need the right side shaft.
