August 14th - 17th Harlan, Kentucky : Pictures, Videos, Carnage and Stories

[Krawler00]

Jeep is sitting in the garage covered in KY mud and still full of gear. Will get to it after I cut the grass tonight. Need to pull the rear tire to see what's leaking. I bet brake fluid as the emergency brake would not hold it at all. Front studs will be fixed this week. Gonna clean her all up and repaint some things. I want a mall krawler... //;D//

Hey! Our 4 doors do fine. If I recall everybody winched at the ledges and Jay did get the farthest in a 4 door

We waited many times while running trails for you 4 door guys bringing up the rear and you all did great! Jay has come along way with the jeep and abilities. Wish my TJ rode like that jeep. I was told I was hauling ass on the way to and from the jar ha ha. Plush!

Hey Wes after washing the mud off I see why you where wanting to buy my dinner  //;D// but its all good man its not the first scratches and for sure not the last thats gonna get on it before the repaint. Ben you think they where just over torqued and send me a text or message when I can stop by and grab that mat

QUESTION.... these pics look amazing and hearing the carnage makes me wonder... would a non locked TJ on wide 33's have survived this park?

Yes you could do this park you just would have to take by passes and play on some of the more mild trails. Most parks we break up into groups with similar rigs and hit the trail suitable for that group.

I say no. Only based on the fact that we would have to drag you over most of the obstacles. You would be VERY limited in trail selection. Based on this last ride I would discourage anyone coming to this park without lockers. I know on this trip I had to hit things with some serious speed and more throttle than I like. But that is my 2 cents. It is a very long haul and for what you could actually do, it would be a disappointing trip.

Todd, not sure. I blame it on that stupid little washer spacer and the wheel already had a slight wobble from not sitting flush since the studs were longer at the press side. I have a new rotor already and will be disassembling it all to have my mech press new studs in. I have the mat so let me know how you want to get it or I can swing it by.

As of now she is unhappy with me. I was extremely lazy when I got home after that haul home.

Haha, you love that minivan motor!

Yes sir, those ledges did claim roughly 1/4th of my tire tread, but worth it. Crazy adrenaline!

Thank you sir! I'm definitely learning more every ride.  After the recent changes, I am having to relearn my jeeps capabilities.
