TRIP REPORT - Noob Run 3-12-11

[Coco]

My yota went up it too

just thought I would say that haha

 

[Cascadia]

I saw it all, and I chickened out cause I had never wheeled with a manual before without super low gears. So I either need to get lower gears or an auto again.

tim in the red jeep takes that thing over obsticals that i am still confused over....and he makes it...all the damn time....this is the jeep and driver that makes the guys with the "extreme" rigs mad. lol

 

[sixstringsteve]

I love those guys.

 

[jjamesyj]

tim is the "president" of those guys

 

[sixstringsteve]

is tim on RME? I think I need to start wheeling with this guy.

 

[Cascadia]

What's even better is tim was wheeling with one arm cause his other was in a cast broken! Ha.

 

[sixstringsteve]

ok, I definitely have to meet tim now. Please tell me he's an old guy that is a beast behind the wheel.

 

[Cascadia]

Ha. Nope. He's or age. Or at least her looks like it.

 

[SmokinCamel]

He just went right up it....well it took a couple tries but he went up the hard part. He really knew how to work the skinny pedal and not care. He still had stock gears and stock axles too. Dana 30 and 35 and nothing broke. His name is Tim from Grantsville I think. He is the one that Chandlers buggy slid into a few weeks ago.

I still very bad. I'd love to wheel with him again, well not in the snow.

whats wrong with a manual???? thats ALL i drive. after i get married, thats ALL i will drive. if i get an auto tranny as a gift, i will sell it, and get a manual tranny. just expressing my love of manual tranny's.

 

[sixstringsteve]

it's the gearing that's the problem. You'll understand when you're on 35s with stock gears

I used to feel the same way when I wheeled my TJ with a manual. Then I bought the TJ with the auto. I'll never go back.

 

[sixstringsteve]

autos sure make it smooth wheeling, and you break a lot less parts. I love 'em both, but it's hard to live without the engine-braking feature of a manual, especially in moab.

 

[iamsparticus]

I love my auto, Everyone that drives and wheels manuels always say they would never go auto then they fnally try one and they never go back, TJdukit's story is a common one. I have had two auto 4X4's and i love them more than any manuel because theyare so smooth and the torque converter allows you to be smooth and crawl even with out low gears, Just my 2 cents

 

[iamsparticus]

except you steve your door swings both ways on trannies

 

[OrvisKrawler]

except you steve your door swings both ways on trannies

that statement made me laugh, sounds so wrong!

 

[1TonTom]

except you steve your door swings both ways on trannies

LOL that does sound kinda bad...

 

[sixstringsteve]

just for the record, I don't swing both ways, and I'm not into trannies
