Big Rock wheeling labor day weekend - Page 2

94Dodge Truggy · 09-02-2010, 11:42 AM

Theres alot of metal and plastic pieces at the bottom of both widowmaker and widowmaker 2. I conquered it in the rain with a YFZ450 yamaha and truggy but my jeep would make the name live up to its self.

All you need is a couple of $20 tow hooks; You've even got a big fancy frame to bolt em to!

I've been searching for pics or vids of widowmaker, and finding bupkis.

A few guys claim to have done it on quads and the like, but I guess getting my daily driver up it would be, um, noteworthy? Optimistic? Friggin insane? Or just stupid?

Can't wait to see it...

I'm gonna try to make it but we just had a baby on Tuesday so not sure if I can sneak away. I drove my Jeep up one of the hills at Widowmaker earlier this year. There is a couple different ways up. It was long and steep but fairly smooth. Shouldn't be a problem unless it's wet. There are some really good trails on that side of the park.

Thanks. I'm out. Little one is back in the hospital. Nothing major. Just needs a dosage of UV light. If you stay along the left side of the big creek we played in you will eventually come to that hill. It's past where the Tacoma broke. Have fun. Catch ya next time.

You all bring up a great point....Most wheelers start with their daily driver.The only way to get experiece, is to get out there and do it..I've stressed out, and at the same time learned more from extreme wheelers and their well built riggs.So, just join in.I promise, we will show you a good time....

Ian ,thanks for the info.

See everyone around 9:00am

Nick

BigRock · 09-05-2010, 12:28 AM

Good to see all of you C.O.R.E folks out today. What a perfect day!

Coppertop · 09-05-2010, 12:31 AM

Freakin' awesome wheeling...It was a struggle to keep up with Scott's stock sami. ;) My eye seems to be getting better,just a little double vison.One eye wheeling is a first for me.

My front locker is history,when I turn right it sounds like someone is hitting it with a big az hammer.I'm blamming it on the Widowmaker climb.

Ian, we spanked that hill we walked up.Even gave it a name(BYPASS)

Pics and vids to follow

It's hard to tell how deep mud is, just by looking at it...

Robert

WrenchMonkey · 09-05-2010, 02:24 AM

So the NAXJA guys showed up first:

By the time we got all the doors off and stacked on my trailer, it looked like a flea market...

Headed down the trail

With the CORE hangers-on

Until... Trouble!

So we all got out to watch...

As Nick got to work clearing the way and saving the day:

And we were off again.

By the way, look at the damn sexy XJ...

Jerry nosing down the waterfall:

And El Presidente following:

Then heading back up the other side, CattyChick in tow.

With a hulking blue Yota hot on his heels.

Meanwhile, the NAXJA guys were busy breaking stuff...

WrenchMonkey · 09-05-2010, 02:25 AM

Here I'm missing a bunch of pics. I buried mine up to the rockers, trying to help some kid on a quad. Nick busted a D30 shaft, too, so we took turns running up and down "Jeep Hill" while he changed it.

We finally made our way back to the gnarley creekbed/hillclimb that Nick has dubbed "Bypass." It was rough enough that I didn't get a chance for any pics, til this group shot of the ones who made it:

Coming back down was gutentite, especially for Tom's MJ

Shameless poser flex shot while I waited my turn:

WrenchMonkey · 09-05-2010, 02:26 AM

Then back into the creek, where we promptly put Nick back to work.

And finally up to the lookout, for another pretty poser shot...

Before the neighborhood went straight to hell...

Yes, I think Scott is picking his nose.
