Re: Thought my Rubicon could fly - oops
Good to see the hands safley at the 10 and 2 positions, eyes fixed straight
ahead. Your drivers ed teacher would be proud HA..
I am not sure if I would show that video to the next guy that buys your
Jeep, but that is pretty impresive.

Re: Thought my Rubicon could fly - oops
Not much, but as someone said before, it's not designed to be a rally truck,
and I keep that in mind. I have caught some air, but only in sand dunes,
where the sand provides some cushion. If you landed hard enough to start a
seal leak and have contact with your wheel, you bent something bad, like an
axletube, in which case a new seal won't fix your problem. Tow it to an
alignment shop and see if there is detectable camber measurement. If so, you
need a new axle. Sorry.

Re: Thought my Rubicon could fly - oops
He he...they went through something like three cars per episode on Dukes of
Hazzard, every time one was jumped they'd have to trash it. They had a
special team that scoured the country looking for '69 Chargers to replace
