Another Rattlesnake and Con Report :P

[SmokinCamel]

Just Zukking and I for alittle fun drive. He hasn't been out in awhile, and I wanted to give Eagles Nest another try in the dry. Which I made with not alot of trouble. It was just a few tries to find the line. Im still learning this beast that Jon Ellerbe built. In the last 5 weeks Ive had it out every weekend. 3 R and C trips and 2 Moab trips. Ok enough blabbling here are the pics

Toyota guys we ran into on the trail.

This is why I like Rattlesnake. Anyone can join.

Made it up WW but not the 2nd part. One place 118" sucks

My friend Ashley drivin.

That is me. Had to remove the winch to get verticle on eagles nest and then had to reattach to get up.

nice yota's guys! nice work on the nest! thats still one of my favorite climbs.
bolth climbs on W/W are tough in a longer wheel base. the 2nd half as I climb up I always go to the right, I seem to get a little more traction to the right. & even then I still have to get into the skinny pedal a little bit. my wb is 122"

At the rate the nest is crumbling it will be a speed bump by the time I get the TJ done :'(

I just thought the same thing. It has been a couple months since I saw it and it looks much smaller.

 

[SmokinCamel]

It seems smaller to me too. But that might just be the goin from a Zuk to a huge toy

 

[SAMI]

It definately looks smaller since I've wheeled it (1.5-2 years).. For reference - My old 4runner had 114" WB vs your 118" WB, so not much difference.

i think its gettin small cause people keep piling rocks trying to build a bridge up it

 

[SmokinCamel]

That's what I thought for awhile. The undercut was as bad with a rock there. I just pulled up to it as is. Don't think the rock did much cause I was over alittle when I made it. But every inch makes a difference.

Nope. That is happening, but the nest is falling apart as well.

 

[notajeep]

yup

 

[zukijames]

maybe by the time i get my sami built it will be small enough i can climb it
