High Center rescue.

 

[jobunn]

There has been a lot of fires up in the area lately. Here is one of the reasons. On the middle right of the pic there is a burned up buggy that took out a few hundred acres.

1 week old disco going up:

 

[jobunn]

Disco straddling. He gave the newly leased vehicle quite a workout.

 

[jobunn]

Solid axles does not necessarily mean flex.

 

[jobunn]

A lot of wheelin deserves a reward.

Joe,

Why wasn't I invited??? This looked like fun! Well, keep me updated on the next trip you do...

[jobunn]

Hey Ken,

I would really like for you to come on any of trips. Problem is I usually get calls the night before someone wants to go so I'll post an invite here but its such short notice. I'll definitely try and give fair warning before I go. Hopefully you can make it on on a trip in the next few weeks. I'll shoot you an email.

 

[Ken Cooke]

If the run is nearby, I'll be glad to accompany...

Wow, looks like you guys had a great time! It also looks like those Jeeps had quite a workout of their parts!

I just learned that the Jeep that broke his diff also shredded his spider gears. Expensive trip.

 

[Josh S.]

LOL, please tell me he was romping hard

Well, Jefe and I have done that run too many times to count (majority of them at night!) We've never broken anything or gotten stuck (even when I was slightly modified with 33's, 2" coil spacers and stock L/S, but I did have to try a couple of different lines until I made it through)

However, the last time we ran it with some friends, there was a guy with a broken rear driveshaft stuck on that first hill. He obviously didn't have a clue, and was trying to fly up the hill "like on TV".

The carnage was as you said just a matter of trying to fly up the hill.
