Durhamtown mudfest ride

[HHI_Rubicon]

Did you actually make it across?

 My depth finder insisted we back out when his feet were getting wet even up on the stinger, then him and one other guy attempted to test the waters but also used better judgement and backed out. It was pretty deep and running really fast, I guess we did the smart thing by backing out but I really wanted to try to get across lol

Definately looked like a mudfest. Wish I was closer.


Doug what caused the brake to crap out?

Just watched the news and the Area of DT is the only place that they talked about FLOODS. Funny how that happened. I think yall made the right choice by backing out. You of all people know the risk Tony.  {toast}

I had a great time with everyone & thanks Mark for letting me ride & everyone who helped when I was stuck & taking the time to explain why & how to do something. I learned a lot on this trip...
Now, I'm itching to buy something I won't have to worry about breaking!

I'm looking forward to the next ride!

 You did good man, it's a learning experience as I have been finding out for myself. Good job getting up that hill on street tires.  {toast}

No worries man! We all have to learn somewhere. DT is a great place to learn the basics, and learn normal scraping noises as well. ;D

I remember the first couple times I heard metal from my jeep scrape rock...but then you learn the different sounds of what can and cannot scrape. haha

Yeah, I kept thinking that something was about to break off when I was trying to go through the rock garden. My clutch leg was shaking so bad I could hardly do anything....lol...
I'll be working to do a similar set up as Kyle, except I'll probably stick with 33's.
The goal is to do the BL next & start searching for 33's & Armor.
Maybe some of this could be done by the end of summer (depends on how well the pool liner holds up this year).
Never know though, I'm really considering selling my hardtop to help get a better set up.

you wont need a BL to run 33s on your lift. but rock sliders would be another good investment before you beat yours to crap and back like the rest of us.

The bug has infested itself. ;D  I egree with Kyle some sort of rocker protection is a must and should be on top of your list if your going to play on rocks. 33's are good, that is what Ben runs and he goes everywhere. {toast}

Looks like a good time and wish I could have made it. Tires look good Mark!
