Next part of the trail. We herd voices and went to check it out. It was 2 buggies and one of them broke a 44 spindle and sent someone to town to get a replacement so I had to back out

My buddies cj7 turning around. He broke a dana 30 u-joint on this 16 pt. turn. He should have just backed out like I did, well I could not have turned around if I wanted to anyway.

Our home away from home. Actually pretty dam comfortable.

Sweet Volvo, this guy was cool he was wheeling his rig harder than the 30 H2's and few H1's that were out there on sat.

Same Hill Just at the bottom. ****ty driver had to back down.

We did not get any stills of the mini rubicon, just video. We both made it all the way thru, but the Jeep broke the pass side u-joint towards the end we fixed it at camp later that night.

The mud pit was my biggest whoops. There were ablut 30 rigs looking but no one dooing so I went for it made it a few car lenghts when the eng died and that is when the water really started rushing in. Was over the center hump and just a little deeper than the bed in the back. Got yanked out, pulled the plugs turned it over a few times, installed plugs and drove the rest of the day and all the way home (4hours) the next day with no issues. I took my snorkel off to paint the hood/front clip and never put it back on. Good thing I had the breather tubes all hooked up. I did get h20 in the engine but the oil never went milkshake. I changed it anyway when I got home.

Off the wall question, but how big is that tarp you're using. I want to do the same thing with my p/u but am too lazy to go measure it.

I am pretty sure the tarp is 12x16.
