I love that silver willys

yea..its all at browns...cedar tree trail, the crushers and the jeep is on 7-up

thats as far as a full size can get under the tree..I had a tuff time even getting to that spot..just before that was where I tagged the tree..my wife was like "if you talk about dovetailing the front end one more time Im gonna scream".

the silver willies is Don and was in TopTruck challenge 05

and thats Don standing next to the jeep wrangler...I love that photo cause at first you really dont get how steep that hill is... till you tilt your head and make Don stand straight up..then your like holy crap..the jeep boiled the tranny fluid and had to back down..which was kinda hairy when he dropped off the first ledge right behind his rear tires.

the pic of willies up on the rock pile ledge is cool too...Don crawled up the left side, went around the tree and was gonna go off the ledge where hes facing..but he had broke a rear brake line earlier and pinched line decided to open up on the way up.. once he got up there he had no rear brakes...then he caught the front diff on a rock and lifted the front end off the ground, at the same time he hooked a tree inside the passenger rear tire..so he was stuck with no rear brakes..then the winch line broke while trying to turn him around..we ended up doing this snatch block triangle geometry thing and getting the jeep back up around the tree...then he winched backwards back down the way he went up...using the winch as his brakes..till he got down to the lower part and could drive out...we all thought if he went forward and off the ledge it might be a little dangerous when the front end went in the air and he pushed the brake peddle to try and slow his decent.
