BDS TJ in the shop: Fox 2.0 Shock upgrade
We pulled the BDS TJ in the shop yesterday for some steering and suspension tweeks. After 4 years, 2 Ultimate Adventures, 2 trips to Moab, and countless trailrides on the 4×4 Outback Adventure, we are proud to say our production 6.5” longarm suspension has held up to the abuse courageously. Our plan to build a very capable trail rig on a typically wheelers budget with factory Dana30/44 axles and 37” tires has been a success, outside of the occasion, ok more than occasion, u-joint break out on the trail. With the Jeep on the hoist we swapped out the wasted wheel bearings for new units and installed the newly released BDS exclusive Fox 2.0 Performance Series Shocks on all 4 corners. With all the R&D BDS and Fox have put into these shocks we know they perform. Now all we need is some free time to hit the trail, good thing it’s…
