Old School Rock Crawling '09- Pics and Vids

[Black Label]

As the guy who was piloting the “Sky High Comanche” I can say, I will never do that again. It was a hell of a ride.
Parts Broke to date:
Broken and bent front axle- when I cut the upper control arms, the front out the diff fell out and left the long side tube.
Crushed lower control arms, and the factory welds broke on the axle.
Both front shocks bent and crushed
Custom 1” cross over steering harden shaft bent
4 - 5/8 carbon fiber heim joints bent broke or failed
242 transfer case broke in half
Engine mounts broke from block
Front pass. side axle bent by the spines
Front chassis cross member
Bent Steering wheel
Parts savable:
6" Springs
Detroit true track
Short side axle
Hubs
Tires and rims Firestone destination M/T
Front and rear drive shafts
As for myself:
Sore neck
Possibly a broke heel
The ride priceless
My heart broke
But the glory will live on.

No, no coffee, I think people at the table were getting nervous I was going to start killing. I needed my coffee.

Here is a pic of my buddy going over the jump in the mini king of the hammer race.

Does anybody have a high res shot of this jump? It would make a great t shirt or poster shot for next year.

Mr. Majestic?

Here is a pic of my buddy going over the jump in the mini king of the hammer race.

Does anyone remember the movie Mr. Majestic with Charles Bronson? There was many jumps like this one in a F150.

Ha I saw you trailering the MJ back up North at about Lehi. I wondered how that rear axle held up

 

[Black Label]

the rear axle held up just fine for the most part. The front took the most pain. Im thinking about sell the rear arb and compressior, the front tru track, the 4.88's and the rims and tires.

This pic is only 185 KB. I need about 2-3 meg for any art work. Who has a high res pic?

 

[Craig S]

I would like to thank everybody who put all the cool pictures and video on this thread. If anybody has some cool shots for next years poster that is about 2 meg or better, I'll try and use them.

 

[rlake2020]

I'll ask the wife. I think our camera takes high res pics and I'll see if I can post some good ones.

 

[notajeep]

Craig, all my pics are 7MP, and I have well over 300.

Please send me a high res of this for possible use in the Compass, if you're interested that is.

Or if anyone has another angle on it.

I extracted that image from a second genation of the movie file. I would be happy to provide the original movie (it's an AVI ~42Mb for 26 seconds) If someone has a way to pull images that might work for you and/or Craig.
