It was thick slop yesterday.  I tried following Tony and got a few feet further than his first winch point, then had to hook up.  But my winch gave up the ghost trying to pull, so I backed down to the first point where I could turn around.  My tire treads were completely packed (37 Pit bulls).  Just as well, as I'd likely have needed more pulls as Tony did.

Last year was dryer and pretty easy, but that was in the buggy.  The TJ's 4.0 doesn't have the power for a heavy rig (4500 lbs with all the armor and my fat a$$).  Of course Tony died dig it up for me, so that's my excuse.   //;D//

Ya, you were in some majorly sloppy seconds there...nasty stuff.  You having a rough go at it saved me from getting into that mess.  TYVM.

Warden ..thanks for the video ... funny how many attempts newbie me took and Mr. Mike on street tires shot right up it.
Although my claim to fame for the ride was I did get my first two tows of others out of a tough spot opportunities.... success.
Thanks for those willing to give me guidance and direction on this ride. I learned a lot and look forward to more.

I have made it unassisted every time I've run that 93b. I didn't really see an issue. Driver is key.

1st time open rear due to air line leak (40 treps)
2nd time locked front rear (40 treps)
3rd time ran it this afternoon with no problems (37 mtrs)


I want to see it. I have a hard time thinking you never had an issue on 93B. You make it sound like a walk in the park. Having been on this trail numerous times and being denied on sections and sometimes the entire trail and then to read that post makes me wonder a bit. I am no master wheeler, but can hold my own with the big boys. Not trying to start anything, but for those of us who have been on 93B over the years are probably thinking the same thing. It is one nasty trail.
I've grown tired of this.

I'd be happy to and it would have been nice to wheel with y'all Saturday. I'm certainly not web wheeling here as I believe a few club members have seen me drive up it when I was open rear (air line leak). There may be a video or pictures on here too. Your setup is quite a bit different than anything I've run and that's probably the reason for your hindrance. I don't want to clog up the tread to much with my comments but I will definitely make the next ride at BK and make it happen. I assume Danny was able to make as I drove that Jeep up it without much of a problem too.

I rode with group 2, figured we needed more winches placed around all the pick-up's   i did get to test my gears/lockers pulling folks up the trial, but wish i could have spent more time learning
how to use my new lockers/gears.  i did have fun, a few spots i went the more challenging route.   

i do love the ability to turn them off and on, much easyer to turn the wheel when the front locker is OFF.  lol.    I think nxt time i wont camp, as its kind of sketchy doing it alone.  i will prob. just drive up in the morning like everyone else.  its a nice day trip.

I will be going to Gulches over memorial day weekend, to give the gears/lockers a proper test, since they changed the windrock date.
