Thanx Comanchedude for saving my ass on the way home, would not have made it the rest of the way without your help..!! Hope U made it home on time..

Sorry I stole your bottle jack Robert (or tried too), if it wasn't for my 2nd blowout I'd prolly still have it..

I had no fluid left in my X-fer case, may have boiled out from making the viscus coupler angry, not a drop came out when I pulled the drain plug.

Gonna dump the 6 BFGs I have left as I lost all faith in them.

I'm gonna be down for a while, have to find out why my front gears pop too (mostly in reverse), everything looked fine and no metal came out when I changed the gear oil so bearings may be worn or..??

Big Rock kicked my ass hard, I had a blast, definitely in my top 3 places to wheel.. :D

Sorry about your tire luck, Jer.

I've split one BFG sidewall in four years of wheeling, and Sams gave me a new KM2 to to replace it. The "2" is supposed to be a lot tougher, I'll get a whole set when I can afford em, tax return maybe.

What happened on the way home? Just the Tcase?


Pulling the stuff off the GPS this morning, it looks like Widowmaker climbs about 175 feet, in less than a hundred yards.

I'm glad I did it, but I still don't think I'll do it again!

Robert

I see you guys found the back way into the hill you were talking about Nick. Did you guys go up it as well? I agree with you on Widowmaker Robert. I've been up it but not sure if I'd do it again (I could probably be talked into it ;)). My leg was shaking pretty good when I got to the top (see roll bar cam video http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...5-04223304.jpg )

Looks like you guys had fun. Wish I could have made it.

Ian

widowmaker was a rush. great day of wheeling and awsome weather. good bunch of people too.

robert if you look close that is actually chatty girl picking my nose :D

It's all part of the hobby man, I had allot of fun and that's what matters most, it's not my DD so can set for a while.

My TC was pissed off cuz of different sized tires all around, the VC heated up then locked both diffs at same RPM (all wheel drive sux), had to remove my front DS to get home and I didn't have the proper tools to do it, Tom saved me a long walk home for sure.

I got my BFGs off Craigslist so have no warranty, I only paid like 250 bux for the 4 so was a good deal as they have allot of tread left. I rolled 32" BFG Mud terrains from brand new and not had that problem, still have them in the basement but pretty bald now. I poked a hole in one rolling over a metal fence post but other than that those 32s held up great.

Great pictures and videos!

Damn. We talked about that as you were pulling out of the lot, that you had said you were gonna pull the shaft, and nobody saw you do it.

Oh well, glad you got home okay.

(If something worse hits next time, Nick and Tom have my cell, and I'll drag it home for you if need be. Hell, 513 256 5968, now EVERYBODY's got it. :D)

Robert

That is why I won't run a radial "street tire" for offroading! It gets way too expensive to replace $400 in tires all the time! TSL-SX all the way!:beers:

That's kinda what I thought, but Lisa didn't really strike me as that much of a "Full Service" co-pilot! I'm impressed!

:beers:

Robert

Those are damn good tires, I been wanting a set of boggers, if I wasn't so poor I would have gotten then from the get go, now I'll save up to get what I really need and be happy for a couple few years.

Thanks for the offer man but I hate to put other people out like that, I have to be seconds from death before I ask for help unfortunately.

The guy I do some work for has a car hauler and I may just borrow it for wheeling trips from now on. My rig is all junk and truthfully I've been lucky to get from point A to point B and back since I switched over to that ZJ, the woman that had it before I got it off Ebay knew nothing about preventative maintenance, it was ready for the junkyard way back then.

Yeah we climbed it first..Just didn't stop for pics..Very cool trail actually gave it a name(BYPASS)

First vid is posted..Ladies and gents heres Widowmaker.

We had a blast. Can't wait to go again!!!

Looks like a neat place. I would like to go there someday. Does anyone know why the rules state that your vehicle must be insured and do they enforce this rule?

The official reason was to satisfy the insurance companies, I think the unspoken goal was to limit the Haspin-style, barn-built jalopies.

If you showed in something really obnoxious, it might draw attention.

But no, he doesn't check for insurance cards.
