Re: Thompsons track area

You access it via the second play area. last time I was up there it was a single winch just past the rocks, but still pretty ugly from there on too, that was three years ago, won't have gotten any better. quite possibly easier, and safer, to park up and walk it. Great views. As for from the summit.....

Re: my jeep project finally got the parts coming

Beats me why they hae a fixed c/a for 3-6.5 inches of lift. By that rationale the stock one should be able to go to 3.5 inches. = FOLD UP and/or ROOTED BUSHES!!!! (seen it and done it)
Adjustables are the only way to go.
