Is that thing as long as it looks?

They seem suuuper long! I’ve been on an internet black hole watching vids of them at EJS. It’s crazy how long they are. Still want one!

that's what she said

that's what she said

My wife is very confused about how long an inch actually is.

It is (I get that a lot)

Here’s a couple from yesterday on Rock Chucker. I couldn’t get it done

C'mon man! I did that with 33s in the original BlackSheep!!

 

[Hickey]

Gladiators are cool and all...

My wife hitched a ride with Jessi Combs in GoldieRocks for about a 1/2 hour yesterday on Kane Creek. You could say I'm a bit jealous.

A little Rusty Nail action. Fun trail!

 

[DAA]

You're having too much fun!

This rig is not much for climbing walls and such. I’ll need to do a little work on it and see what’s up?

My wife drove nearly every thing we did this year. She is doing awesome and it lets me enjoy the scenery
7 mile rim was a blast.
Wipe out hill


This is a sketchy spot on Flat Iron, but that is a super fun trail.


This Willy's body is on a JK frame with an LS. Super sweet build.

Steel Bender was fun yesterday.


Until this happened


We limped off and made it back to the hotel and the trailer home. MBryson's super duty brake issues were contagious and I lost trailer brakes at soldier summit. That made for a fun 55mph trip down Sp Fork Canyon.

One more of Steel bender. The LJ got the rear tires off the ground here. I was sure she was going over.

If it is where I'm thinking of, I hate that drop-off. I've had the mog rear wheels both come off the ground when it is dug out. I've resorted to driving down the left side of it since that incident.

 

[DAA]

Left side can be a beech too sometimes. Especially for a short wheelbase.

Just a little bit more wheelbase made all the difference in the LJ.

[Unimog]

Ouch! I think I take it further left than that to keep from dropping a wheel into that big hole.

 

[DAA]

Been a long time ago, I can't remember too much about the line selection. There was probably some reason for not going further left, but I can't really say anymore, been too long ago.

[glockman]

There use to be a tree to the far left.

 

[Unimog]

Didn't know the tree was gone, but yea - I would go close to that tree, then cut sharp to the right, straddling the big hole with my front tires. The mog is way more front heavy than a jeep.

 

[Spork]

I killed my radiator there, so I stack a rock or 2 now to keep my radiator safe. That green jeep roll looks crazy, did it go down the side?
