How normal were things in Sedona as far as shops and restaurants being open? Hard to tell from their tourism website how much is open.

I was in Sedona for lunch 2 weeks ago and from what I noticed not much is closed. We didn’t stay long and didn’t venture around. We were staying in Cottonwood and went there for lunch. Cottonwood was pretty open too, didn’t notice anything closed.

Thanks for the info! Probably just the damn masks needed everywhere!

Pretty much but I was walking up/down Old Cottonwood and no one was really wearing masks. The businesses enforce it till you sit down.

Was great weather. Great scenery. The trails were not crowded. Hard to beat.
We did day trips to each of those places. Different than Sedona, but equally cool with their small town history. We didn’t really go out too much, other than a place in cottonwood with some great prickly pear margaritas and then a burger joint and a mexican food place, bot just south of Sedona.
Thanks Ben. It was great.
Yup, awesome family vacation.

Pretty normal I guess. Weekends were way more crowded than mid week.
Cottonwood was more enjoyable mid week. We almost had the whole town to ourselves.

NEED SOME ADVICE...
JL Enforcer lift kits:
I have an email in to EVO/ORE, but figured there might be enough folks running their JL Enforcer kits now to help out. Or just more knowledge than I in general....which wouldn’t take much. Lol.
The PLUS options come EVO front and rear track bars.
The OVERLAND version comes with the drop down brackets. Would these get hung up in the rocks/impede clearance?
Im looking at the 3.5” lifts with the king 2.5s. Most likely stage 2. It’s what I ran on the JK and was great for the amount and what I wheeled. But can’t figure out the pros/cons to plus (vs other vendor trackbar) or to pros/cons of the drop down brackets.

I really liked the ride quality the drop brackets offered. I didn’t find them to really cause any big issues offroad. I felt the payoff was well worth the negative effects offroad. I really like the Synergy Trackbar bushings and the way they adjust. Also the 2.5s with the 3.5 springs make for an amazing ride.

I got it in stage 1 and got the synergy control arms since you can adjust them without taking them off. As far as the drop brackets up front for the overland I was told that you shouldn't use them for rock crawling but if you go to ORE website and look at the builds Harris's blue JLUR is running the overland Enforcer and he was wheeling it pretty good in a few of Eddie's videos

Buy once cry once...haha. Get more than what you feel you'll need. That way you don't end up replacing aftermarket parts. Its about time you start the build...haha

I'm sure the overland drop brackets do wonders for suspension geometry but even my stock control arm mounts took some minor damage and rock rash. If you are planning on doing serious rock crawling I would not run them.
I was not pleased with the EVO track bars, the track bars themselves are very well built and are heavy duty but I was going through bushings on mine. Replaced both the frame and axle side bushing in my front one in only 5K miles. The rear destroyed the frame side bushing once in about 10K miles. I'm still running the rear and its held up since the last bushing replacement but have switched to Synergy in the front.
I just replaced my 3.5" Enforcer stage 2 plus kit with EVO long arms and coilovers, I was really pleased with how it rode and performed with exception to the track bar bushings.

Truth be told, I’m eyeing the high clearance long arm.
Been working 12 hr days 6-7 days a week for almost a year. Could be a lot worse, but doesn’t leave much time for wheeling.
There’s an outside chance I just full tilt with the LA. Noted on the trackbars. I’ve heard others being happy with the synergy products. Thanks for sharing.

I remember when I had a part time job. :cheesy: 84 hr weeks for last 13 years. Wheeling what's that? :thinking:

I wish....but I’m employed and able to provide for my family and do great work. Had two coworkers leave and then a hiring freeze about a year ago. This won’t be permanent, I hope. Lol.
Very happy with the work I do.
Hopefully I don’t have another 16 years of this. Lol.
