I was itching to take the maiden voyage to Tuttle Creek ORV and I convinced my cousin Darrell who convinced his cousin Kris to come along. Made for a really nice day of wheeling in beautiful 70 degree November weather.
The tan K5 is mine, The Black K10 belongs to Darrell and the Jeep belongs to Kris.
This is my new desktop.

Put my first dent in the K5 here. Pretty much caved the door in. Smashed the drip rail on the cab and wrinkled the entire box side all in one shot. At least it's out of the way and the door still shuts decent.

Little rascal slipped right through without a scratch.

Reasonably flexy for a daily driver.

This is from a previous trip, but worth posting. Notice how many wheels are on the ground.

I quite near went belly up on this ledge. Maybe I can snag the video from Jess and link it.

Things took a turn for the worse here. I really thought he was gonna end up going over.

It's hard to even count how many safety violations are occurring in the last few pics. Thankfully no one was hurt and seeing it in pics makes me all the more aware. That being said, if no one had been standing on the rear corner of that Jeep or hanging on to a spotter rope, it would have gone over.

We were able to keep the shiny side up and he did not try it again.
We decided to load up and head home. No parts breakage and only the expected body/driveshaft damage so it was a good day.
Finito.
