Will cleared Hell's Revenge...I got denied.

Impressive. The first big rock, as Scott said, has really become one hell of a gate keeper

Great day wheeling. Only got denied on boat ramp which had a ton of water on it. Crawled a little of it and woopow only got me about halfway up, just couldn't heat the Reds up.

Perfect weather, couldn't have asked for anything better.



In true Will Fashion, my door fell off. I blame my friend Mark who sold me the doors.


Jason's rig is nice and does great. The MT2's seem to do well.

The guys I've seen crawl it with stickies went extremely slow in the lowest gear they had.  If they spun, they went down and tried again.

There are a lot of variables to it. I tried bouncing up and it made it the farthest out of my attempts but it wasn't enough. If you can heat the tires up and then try and crawl it it would probably walk it.

^This is what some other guys said today.  A Sami with reds walked it yesterday in granny low.

Had a great time yesterday. I got a few pics on Rubicon that I'll post up shortly. Jeep did great. Conquered everything I tried without a winch. Actually, I don't think anyone I was with winched at all. I didn't attempt Hell's Revenge. Felt like I was cheating on the 4Runner, but my new girlfriend is pretty sweet.

:D

Honestly answer this! After your first trip in the Jeep now. What do you prefer and which do you think is more capable on the trail?

Oh, sure...which of my kids is my favorite??  Honestly, though, I still took it easy today, so I don't feel like I really tried anything too difficult.  Although there were probably some spots the Runner would've had issues with.  I am going to need some more seat time to give a full report.  The longer wheelbase on the Runner does help in some places, too, as you know.  But, like I said, the feeling of being on the verge of flopping, which happens a lot in the Runner with off camber stuff, which there is a LOT of at Chocco, was not there in the TJ.  I was pleasantly surprised with the automatic locker (Spartan) up front, too.  I thought I wouldn't like it as much as the ARB, which it does have in the rear, but it "just worked"...no having to worry about locking the front or not.  Yes, the clicking when turning on the street is kinda annoying, but I won't drive it on the street much anyway, except to the park.  So, give me a few more runs for a more full report, but it was definitely different.

And some more on Rubicon (that's all I took!).  A friend of Wes' named Matt is in the JKU.
