two trips out in one week. thats pretty good for me. great time today, we met up with bigzuk and a bunch of his friends(not sure if they are on here or not). did really good this time out, rattle snake managed to collaps my driver side upper control arm.:confused: i made it a little farther up WW by going all the way to the left. but there was water in the bowl and i lost all traction. (curse these MTR's) i blew a coolant line as i was trying to get out of the bowl, so that ended the day for me.

here is a link to the video of me on WW. almost 10 minutes worth and i still didnt make it.

i could use some help in the front. the rear is spooled.

i am not sure what was going on, in the video you can see the front axle turning but the rear axle wasnt moving. that doesnt make any sense to me. maybe there is somthing wrong in the t-case???? i dont know. its never given me any problems before.

it was just starting to rain on us as i was putting the jeep on the trailer. i wondered how much it was going to rain out there.

this is the best i have done on WW ever. i usually try the right side and cant even get up the first step. so i was pretty happy to get up into that hole.

I can't believe you made it to where you did with an open front end.

It sure did look like the back wasn't spining.

I went with EKSJAE and he was trying like mad to get up there. That coolant line breaking was so loud it scared my kid. He gave it its all. Pics dont do WW justice. I ended up blowing out my 35" on constrictor. Nice big hole in the side wall.

It was a great run. I had a lot of fun with you guys. Sorry to ditch you Zuking, I really had to head on back. I'm glad you made it out ok. That is one sweet rig. Let me know when you guys are going again.

Smokincamel tried for about 5 min to get up WW, but he gave up to move on to the next trail. I wish he'd kept trying, i'm sure he would have at least gotten up the first step. He's now running 33's locked front and rear. He used a new technique i'd never seen before. He'd use his starter to crawl up steep obstacles. it's was fun to watch him wheel. He definately knows his vehicle!

I didn't think you would have made it up that line. Nice work on getting it up that far. Mybe drop the preasure in you tires alittle more. And drive it like you stole it

We saw you guys out there, wewere done running Con by the time you came out and had toleave. It took me about 15 tries to get up WW, that is a tricky first step. After that its not bad. Eksjae I can'tbelieve you made it that far on that line, and then not the rest of the way up. You had the hard part handled. Next time we'll try to hook up with you guys when we go.
