WELL, ya, i understand. im just taking this all in. my first run was at jeepfest, and i was amazed at what i could do, then at Gulches, even more amazed at the stuff i could climb. and now, windrock, i did some nice climbs, much more than i ever imagined. i took a bypass when i felt uncomfortable, but mostly, the spotters got me thru the hard stuff.. im not easy on the gass.. just ask the guys here, too much bonuce..bounce.. i have a standard 6speed. and it took me at gulches to learn how to handle down hills with out my ass flipping over my head.. </LMAO/> but i learned, the rangers there talked with me some on how to handle going down on a standard.
but at windrock, the last run, i got a bit nervous, i had to "kirk" bump it too much and there was alot of under...scraping and banging. which .. this is my daily driver, so im a bit on the.. timid side on not wanting to break anything too bad, i know i need to drive some more, all weekend i worked on taking diff. lines to see how my rig flexed and moved.
i do understand it better, but its hard for me to "crawel" using a standard. but i will just have to "Learn" i got no choice.
I hope i did better at windrock, not sure how the rest of the rock-jocks think i did, i would love some more advice and after a run, someone pointing out to me.. what i should have done/not done. etc.. i think i got Mud down after sat at windrock </LMAO/> anyway.. thanks , alot of my posts are just getting info, and wanting to take all the advice in and learn what do i want to spend $ on first.
im prob. going to start with some protection under.. just cause i scrape, bang a bit more than most.
