Big Thanks to Wes (@Jeepson33s) for shepherding us around all day.  The trails we hit were perfect and he got us out of there on time.  I was pushing my luck leaving the wife with a 2.5yr old, and a 3wk old.  I can't believe many of you guys were still on the trail til 10:30p!
I had a great day with Alex (@alexspur84), and Patrick (@Patman) and Jared (@JC79). Some of the obstacles didn't look that tough, but once on them, there was no traction, or would drop 1 wheel in a hole and nearly flop it.  I gave the skid plates and sliders a workout, but no carnage.
What I learned:
-KM2's far outperformed my Duratracs (market research)
-Wes can wheel!
-Alex ain't scared of the gas pedal
-Jared's kid has ice water in his veins
-Don't forget bug spray

My 4Runner and I are quickly becoming dirty ol' men. More attitude and less flexibility every year.

I saw the comment about the Antirock being bent...was it the actual arm (with 5 holes drilled into it) or the links that bent?  If it was the arm, did it bend sideways or up and down?

It was the arm that bent, the drivers side at the end where the link attaches. It bent in towards the centerline of the vehicle a few inches. Both drivers and passenger side links were I damaged from what I remember.

Damn, that is some thick metal to bend!  Do you know if they were aluminum or steel (black paint on steel ones)?  I'm so curious because I have the Antirock and am impressed someone could bend the arms!

The arms are steel.  Sammy was hitting the skinny pedal pretty hard.

Removed broken shock today, and welded caliper mount back on.  Radflo won't warranty the shock.  Springs are OK.

Winch needs new solenoid(s); decided to buy the pack that BigJerm recommended.

Ugh....



Man... that's two in a row on torn tires. At least it wasn't a 37" Pit Bull this time.

Was the tire pressure correct?

Another event


I think I was more sad to miss the poker game than the wheeling...

Me too!! there was just absolutely no way I could have made it! I had my Jeep loaded on the trailer, drove the tow pig home and was ready to roll out after my sons game Saturday. I would have got to the park at 8:00 pm that night and had to leave at 8:00 am Sunday morning //fu(// Really hate that I had to miss this!! Hope everyone had a great time!

I would like to send a big thanks to Jorge for letting my wife and nephew ride with.  Only downside is they want to come everytime now.

HA!  You have some nerve writing that one.  I hope she isn't a 'visitor' here.
