Looks like Diego needs to go back to Jeep ID school! Those are leafs front and rear, unless the owner did one of those horrible leaf conversions to a TJ I've read about.

a very clean yj...

that river looks more suited for a freakin kayak than a jeep.

never under-estimate the power of moving water!

Thats for sure...hey Deigo, have you seen the front cover of JP mag this month? There is a silver Rubi that had rolled...all smashed up. I was looking for the Border Jumper stickers...but alas...you were safe! ;)

always go with the water when crossing.... never fight a river like that... and dont go straight across... always go at an angle. Oh... and keep a line attached to yeah!!

Whats wrong with leafs???? HMMMMMM......Easier to setup, easy to increase load capacity, cheap, and if you set them right they'll flex just as good as coils
