fun trail, lots of people makes for a time; I would definatly like to do it again when the trail is dry, and my rig is not at the bottom for everyone to pass... sadly yes, mine with the bad backlash on the rear diff kept me from going any further

so we all met up at the chevron around 10 am me,oneal,the stranger and two jeep wranglers and a cherokee we headed up to the parking lot and got trucks unloaded on trailers and aired down removed doors and so on, we met up with a white side kick in the parking lot, while sitting there erik d lux and
the two huge grand waganeers along with a white runner and the blue buggy all pulled in we were all in aw of see the monster rigs show up. we headed
up the rattle snake with ease got to the little rock off to the left and played around a bit. We then moved on to waynes world with the addition of a puddle, the blue buggy gave it a great shot but no go along with a white wrangler with the craziest stretched rear i have ever seen but seemed to work well. once again a no go a few others tried it but with the water and slick conditions it just was not happening.

the stranger pulled up on waynes world along with oneal and gave it a valiant effort. i also tried just to say i tried it pretty much ended up mashing the rear of my truck bed pretty good probably going to take some work to get the right rear tailight back in there.


so we moved on to constrictor which i see why its got the name it does.
i love wheeling close tight canyons like this.

got to radiator springs where the fun hard wheeling got going with the mud in the granite rock not many were walking up this obsticle. only the blue buggy walked right up it that i saw.

erik d lux opened his buggy up on it big time nothing like a roaring v8 in a close quarter canyon. after eric got threw it was the strangers turn he worked a couple lines and finally got threw.

next was my turn, with my new tires they do not like to hold a line when wet and i could not get them to even when on the perfect line i would just slip. so the guys got me lined up and i gave it all the truck had and bounced around and went some but not all i needed the out come was a blown bead so i took the strap and pulled me threw. i did not catch anyone elses efforts as i was putting my spare tire on my truck

erik d lux was up playing on eagles next which had water running down it and was just impossible even with the winch it took him a while to get the line and get over it.

bamf showed up and tried it a bit but ended up getting straped over it by erik in his buggy.


our group turned around and headed out, it was a way fun day and a very good test for all of our rigs, i got some new battle wounds on the rig for more charm on the rig.

had a great time sorry i dont remember everyones names have to wheel more to get better aquanted

i will defently hit these trails again

ya know their big cherokee. With you asking me about the runner. I got it out and running saterday noonish time. I had to charge the batts. I took it down to the store for a tune up, cahnge all the oils, lube up the stuff. On the way home, I was pulling in the driveway, when the rear drive line twisted. Not sure what happened. But I think the rear u loint on the dl froze. When I took it off. It was rusted. I think it has been sitting for like a year with no movement.

I am greatfull I did not take it down.
